Oops sorry, meant 11s (speed).
would the chainrings have a different offset then?
Oops sorry, meant 11s (speed).
Hi all,
I got myself a 2022 cube stereo 140SL a few months ago. The idea was to replace my KTM enduro as I was fed up travelling so far just to be able ride the thing off road. So in that respect it’s been great.
I found this place while looking for a fix to my first problem. (Probably like most people who sign up!) the chain keeps jumping off the chainring when in a high gear. Already snapped a chain and made a mess of the chainring.

I’ve YouTube’d how to set the derailleur once I’ve replaced the chainring but now I’m struggling to find a 34T for my bosch gen4 motor. Can anyone suggest a decent chainring? Or is it worth buying a spider to open up options? It’s a 12 speed Shimano set up with a 52mm boost chainline (whatever that means!) should I also be replacing the chain regardless?
TIA
@TommyC - Sorry to hear about the issues. There seems to be a combination of factors which are causing that issue on a small qty of this specific Cube model. Moving out the chainline improves the problem.

It could be that with supply issues, they've put an 11t chainring on or just made an error on the whole batch. I know Focus did something similar last year and it resulted in lots of chains falling off and other issues.
no..the offset is determined by the hub width...so boost is boost whether 11 or 12 speed. What may be different which is what I think @Zimmerframe was referring to, is whether the chainwheel was for a 11 speed rather than 12 speed chain. Again ( before I have to be corrected) I am more familiar with SRAM than Shimano and there seems more confusion/disagreement as far as Shimano kit is concerned, as to whether you can mix 11 and 12 speed components successfully. It does seem to me that using Shimano branded components rather than 3rd party is a safer route to follow.would the chainrings have a different offset then?
