Very strange choice to spec one different brake because of a parts shortage. Not sure I’d be happy with odd brakes. Great video though Rob. Looking forward to the ride review.
I'd feel exactly the same. A six month wait then nothing at the end of it. It really does just seem to be Cube who are really struggling to get their bikes out. I asked about upgrading my 160sl to a 160tm the other day but all this year's tm's are sold out too.
Nice bike Longfellow78.
Seeing that really does hammer home how expensive bikes are…not just ebikes.
I just don’t know how they justify it? I suppose it’s just a case of ‘this is what they cost so if you want one, this is what you have to pay’. Bit like Lawyers😀.
Spoke to my bike shop yesterday and was told they have 700 customers waiting to receive their bikes!
That's a long list to get through. Does make you wonder how any of them can keep going with such a backlog. I think I must have picked the worst possible time to order my first ebike so just...
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ultrasonic cleaner big enough for a 12spd cassette but I’ve only seen the jewellery cleaning ones in the flesh. Maybe someone makes a more industrial sized one?
Really surprised Leisurewheels had them in February as most places don't seem to have them coming in until now or the end of May. Would have thought we'd have seen some reviews by now. Morton027..... how about a mini review?
My mate said the same thing. Riding his normal bike now just seems slow. I’m going to stick with the full fat ebike but make a real effort to get out every now and again on my current bike for our social weekend rides.
On a different note…went to Bike Park Wales yesterday and was amazed how many...
Yep that was one of the reasons I chose the Cube too. Have had a go on some 29ers and they just don’t float my boat. I guess it’s just what I’m used to. Well the Cube is supposed to be arriving next month so we’ll see what happens. Cheers for the replies guys.
I live in the Surrey hills and there are lots of steep climbs that just aren’t possible for me on my normal bike. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to literally come down the fun bits and go straight back up the quickest route which is usually the steepest hill. I think I may be worrying too much and...
1988 must have been a good year indeed as that was the first year I started proper mountain biking at the grand old age of 18. I do love my normal bike but I'm starting to get a fair bit of knee pain now I'm in my fifties, and the thought of getting help up the hills is really making me think...
So…in Jan I pre ordered a Cube 160 which won’t be in until probably June. I chose a full fat 750w battery bike because I fully intended to carry on riding my ‘normal’ bike as well, so I really just wanted the ebike for quick ups and maximum fun downs. I’m now having second thoughts that once I...
