When they told me my 160 wasn’t going to be in stock until May I thought they were just covering themselves and it would be earlier than that. I’m now thinking I’ll be lucky to see it by then.
Saw a green 140tm in the flesh today near Summer Lightning. The colour does look really nice. Frustrating seeing the 140’s when there’s no 160’s hitting these shores yet.
Diluted Johnsons baby shampoo in a spray bottle and make it nice and wet. It's actually quite a satisfying job when you get into it... especially with a brand new bike. I'm seriously tempted because I invisiframed my Enduro from new and it just makes you worry a bit less about...
I wanted the turquoise 160sl but for some reason the only colour my bike shop was offering was the grey one. It looked a bit silver on the website but now I've seen some photos I quite like the 'greyness' of it.
There's always room to move the saddle back etc but you don't really want to affect the steering too much by putting a long stem on it to compensate. I always thought Cube were on the large size? I'm 6ft (183cm) and have ordered a large so I've got my fingers crossed it's the right size for me.
I think they let you have it for four hours so chuck it in the car and head to Ranmore to do all of the trails off the top (if you can find them). Failing that just hit Holmbury and Leith Hill.... easily do able in the four hours.
I thought it was the bosch battery etc which was holding up the 160 but I'm assuming the 140 still has the new 750 battery and Kiox 300? Maybe they have a lot more pre orders for the 140 so are building them first?
I remember watching a YouTube video of frame testing a carbon Santa Cruz Nomad. They couldn’t seem to break the thing. It was bouncing off a concrete block they were smashing it against! I’m more than happy to ride a carbon bike.
