Nice bike. I’ve now upgraded to the TM but when it’ll arrive is anyones guess. Freeborn in Horsham still have a TM in medium in stock if anyone wants one.
I bought the Borgen bleed kit from Amazon in the end. Seems pretty good though I haven't actually used it yet. Comes in a plastic box so hopefully I won't lose any of the bits😀.
I saw those piston freeing plastic blocks on line the other day where it holds in three of the pistons and let's the other sticking one extend when you gently pull the lever. Might get one of those in case.

The thing that I'm not sure about (Rob might know?) is whether all manufacturers are having the same problem? I'm assuming they are, but it just feels like Cube seem to be suffering more than most, but maybe that's just because it's the brand I'm paying more attention to. I'm not sure whether I...
My 160 is now delayed again until July.
After a wait like this it'd better be the most amazing bike the world has ever seen...... and it had better not have odd brakes.
