Sounds like a terrain difference then - my last ride was offroad mountain biking, rocky climbs and descents. It was a fairly short ride - 1 hour 10 mins. Stats were 20km with 440m climbing. Nearly all in emtb mode. Used 40% battery.
Stock tyres but have cushcore inserts fitted.
I suspect that...
I have a 2m gold rated sold secure bike lock which is long enough to loop under the van through the tow bar frame itself, and back round to the bike(s) which are on the towbar mounted rack. I then use a second gold rated D lock which is locking the bikes to the rack. Plus the locks on the rack...
I think you'll be just fine unless you have Mr Tickle arms.
I'm right at the start of a large. Any shops nearby with 140's on you can sit on and try for size? Reach numbers are on the Cube site - bear in mind the 160's all have a slightly larger reach than the 140's. If I had a 160 I'd be on a...
Thanks - no I haven't weighed it - Cube site says 24.6kg. It's a size large.
I was lucky enough to be able to try both a M and L for size in the store. I'm towards the top end of a medium and at the start of a large. I am 179cm tall. In the end the reach of the large for me felt perfect. I like...
I did it. 2022 Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 TM is now in my possession. An obligatory pic of it (from the store)
It's the first 29er bike I've owned. Feels fairly roomy and I expect it to be quite stable! I feel I've made the right choice now.
I've had it invisiframed and made tubeless. It's...
ant0 - great post and insight! The Cairngorms is probably my most favorite area in Scotland, and I stay up in Aviemore at least 4/5 times a year. Aware of what kind of riding can be done up there. Awaiting a 2022 stereo hybrid myself - my mileage won't be as high as yours, but what you have...
More tempted by a 140 now. If I'm being brutally honest with my riding, a 160 isn't really needed. But it's a nice to have. What's annoying is that (according to the cube site) there's barely any weight difference between the two. And the price is pretty much the same!
Nice 1 both - sicathode it looks like you managed to get a mostly dry ride in there! Impressed given the time of year.
Chris and I sat here very jealous whilst waiting for our 160's. :LOL:
Reporting in as another person waiting for a 2022 stereo hybrid 160. Ordered last year. Seeing a few 140's appear now but I'm holding strong. You should too!
