Hello everyone,

Do you have any news ? Warranty applied ?

I bought this model last week and found this during the initial chain cleaning:

The bike has only a few kms for testing, on road around the LBS. So in your opinion is it only a paint manufacturing defect ?

manufacturer defect in my humble opinion. Looks like they painted over it.

Totally agree especially with bike being so new I cant see it being any other reason.

Thanks for your replies.

After careful examination I also saw this little crack:



It doesn't give me much confidence, so will go back to the shop tomorrow, but it was the last M size in stock...

I haven't heard any news from Cube yet.My local dealer showed me the email as it was written by the Greek Cube dealer and it was listed as a paint defect.As soon as i have news i will let you know.

You can not jumb or go to bikepark with a kenovo or a cube stereo hybrid

That's what the marketing department of the bike says.
As long the bike parks don't refuse entrance, there's no problem.

Hi,
There is same discussion in german MTB forum and there are same pics and a reply from Cube like this:
Cube Stereo Hybrid HPC SL 625 2021 - Risse Anlenkpunkte Hinterbau

Torsion during driving and different expansion behavior of the materials (bearing seat = aluminum inlay in the carbon frame) can lead to visible, superficial paintwork cracks in the area of the various bearing seats on the main frame (main bearing, rocker arm / seat tube).
No warranty issue.

Can anyone see any sticker on their Trek Rail with a condition number on it? According to Trek's manual the bikes have a condition sticker on it.

Haven't seen a sticker anywhere on mine or my wife's (2022 Rail 5's)

'Mountain electric-assisst bicycle' is Condition 3, in which 'jumps should be no more than 61cm'

Even an old muppet like me gets more than 2' foot when mucking around ffs.

Oh cmon you old farts if you are jumping over half meter you should get yourself regular bikes and leave emtbs joke aside, Cube is not the brand to go for, it's cheap one, bad quality.. I have many cube bikes only because I can't afford better

Perhaps one decent bike would be a better use of your money than many bad Cube bikes, then?

What would you recommend?

Sorry for my bad English, I had many Cube bikes, of course not all of them at the same time Cube is decent bike for sure, but that's it. Quality is mediocre at best.

I doubt the "damage" around the metal inserts is much more than cosmetic but still annoying....and preventable with the right lay up. The edge of a metal insert into carbon is bound to be stressed and it needs layers of UD carbon in a spiral formation to prevent that. Pretty labour intensive and the Cube carbon frames are pretty low cost.

Just found the classification for all the 160/140 bikes. Basically you can’t jump any of them. I’m cancelling my order as this is just a get out clause for all issues.

They have to prove it

Update: New frame came from cube in August.

 

[BeBiker]

May -> August.
My frame is perfectly OK but I think I'll order a spare one, just in case...

Epäilen, että metalliosien ympärillä oleva "vaurio" on paljon enemmän kuin kosmeettista, mutta silti ärsyttävää... ja se voidaan estää oikealla asettelulla. Hiileen metallisisäkkeen reuna on väistämättä jännittynyt ja se tarvitsee UD-hiilikerroksia spiraalimuodossa sen estämiseksi. Melko työvoimavaltainen ja Cube-hiilikehykset ovat melko edullisia.

Cubelle ehdoitus käyttää KUMIMAALIA se on elastinen.
