Any other Cube Stereo 160 owners?

[Gofurtherfaster]

Hi mate pedals are nukeproof neutron and grips are what the 2019 models are coming out with SDG slater, the orange is a great match !

Nice one bud, going to order the grips and pedals too after I've sold my kidney, the bike wiped me out financially.

Hi, got the 160 action team a couple of weeks ago, first ride round Cannock over the weekend and am loving it.

Stunning bike Ernie, be cool if we could get all the stereo owners together for a ride.
Really love the colours they chose for this years Action Team model, best so far, and the spec... forget about it, incredible.

Hi, a bit out of Burton at Yoxall, I’ve found I can bike along the canal to Rugeley, do half the monkey trail and half the dog at Cannock and bike back along the road and still have about 10 miles left in the tank.

Got my first full suss bike & it's a cube 160 stereo ebike! Soon as I rode out the door I knew ebikes were what I was waiting for. However, the weather I've been riding in over the first 320 miles was atrocious & I managed to trash the bearings on the motor! The dealer wasn't really very helpful either, it happened 2 weeks before Xmas, he said keep riding it as it wouldn't get sorted before Xmas! Not too impressed I asked him what would be the delay & he was telling me they had to send the old motor first, which wasn't true. He then told me that he didn't get paid for the swapping of the motor, also untrue, they get 50 euros. I contacted bosch on this duff info & they told me what they needed & suddenly he managed to get it sorted for Xmas! The bike is great, I'm loving the climbing aspect, as for the dealer, I will give him the benifit of doubt for now but he will suffer my wrath if I get any more drivel.

Bonjour, voici mon nouveau cube stéréo hybride 160 SL. J'ai parcouru 300 km sans aucun problème, c'est un vélo incroyable.

I've just jumped two footed into buying a Cube 160SL. Like most I've smashed the bash plate. Ordered a carbon replacement. I'm having a few setup niggles but loving it. I'm having many pedal strikes, even on not so technically challenging terrain such as Sherwood Pines. Possibly just a case of setting up the suspension correctly!

Yes,bike is too linear. I put another spacer on the shock and running between 25-30% sag. So,I can avoid pedal strokes climbing. Plus,running M. Mary 2,80 front wheel,rear I couldn't fit in Minion DHR II 2,80,max 2,60

Cheers for the reply. I'll try firstly with lobbing a 2.8 up front. But yes, climbing is very frustrating. Think I ruined a set of V12 mags in the peaks yesterday!

What size spacer did you install? I've just ordered a kit.

Can't remember but I am going to swap it for a smaller one. Good mid-stroke support but not bottoming out even with mid sized drops
I weight 200 lb kitted up

Couple of upgrades this week. New carbon motor bash plate as the stock one is made from cheese, and an Easton Haven stem as the stock Raceface stem looked weedy and a bit too long! I've also installed a larger volume spacer into the shock as I was getting through the travel too easily and having pedal smashes. Only been for a quick ride however straight away, the shock feels much better.

Stock stem I think is 35mm and I am delighted with it. For my, 55mm is too long

Your stem length is 35mm!? Sure you're thinking about the clamp!!?

I think you are right. And what is the stock stem length?

 

[Trumpet]

Evening Cubeists... Has anyone else noticed the battery plate cover doesn't sit into frame very well!? I've not noticed it before until I cleaned it.

 

[Trumpet]

60mm apparently mate

w model?

I have a 160 size S model and its ok (not 100% but ok). In my wife carbon 120 size S doesn´t sit very well . The rubber frame protector doesn´t alow the screw to go all the way in (not a very good design of the protector for S size frame).

 

[Trumpet]

I'll take some pics tomorrow... the panel gap on one side is perfect. The other side, not so.

Waiting to pick up my new Cube stereo hybrid 160 SL 500... feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!!! Any top tips for when i pick it up?

It's coming with an EU plug for the charger, this standard? Any recomendations of adapter to use?
