140 in my lbs looked stunning

What color was it? Flashgrey'n'orange? This seems to be the most common so far, but i have mine ordered in Green'n'flashgreen; have not seen one of the latter in vids yet, and i'm not sure from the pics how it will look live.

Was the grey and orange colour does look well im sure the others look great too when they arrive thats the question

 

[Hanzzzie]

I was a bit dissapointed with the team blue tbh... looked more darker/cooler on image then irl.
Found it to be a bit on the "dull" side

 

[Chris ledger]

The white 140 sl colour i like a lot wish the 160sl was available in it

 

[Hanzzzie]

Isnt that more pink'ish tint?

 

[Chris ledger]

Cant really tell but even pink id have it lol

 

[Choppersquad]

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.

Around £160 in total. invisiframe measuring it up and making the kit then lbs fitting it. Was hoping I would get a discount seeing as mine is being used to make the new kit but doesn’t look like it!lol Oh well still a decent price and worth doing.

Thats a shame im gonna have a go at fitting it myself and chance my arm the 2021 kit fits close

Don’t blame you. I normally would do myself but don’t have much time at the min

 

[Choppersquad]

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 crash/transportation damage etc. I did actually crash it the first time I rode it though. Properly tested,.

 

[Chris ledger]

Im hoping it should help with the cleaning process too once its on

 

[D_Ch]

Last week lbs told me the delivery date was pushed back to mid february. This morning the bike showed up; putting it together atm and i'll pick it up tomorrow!
I'll let you know how it goes...

 

[Hanzzzie]

Called my LBS yesterday about how long it could take to get the bike ready that came in 7th of Januari...

Apparrently the salesguy made a mistake and it was an XL that came in...
Thank god for him that he's in quarantine at the moment!

Jeez he deserves to be in quarintine

 

[D_Ch]

Yes, SL 750Wh.

 

[Chris ledger]

Damn i was hoping it might be a 160 never mind ill sit on mu hands for a while longer enjoy the new bike

 

[D_Ch]

Seems like the 160 will come later; 140's are appearing in many places. I'm sure you'll be glad you waited since it's the one you want

 

[Chris ledger]

The 750w battery is the only thing stopping me looking at other bikes i would have bern riding if it wasnt for that i turned down half a dozen to wait so a bit longer wont kill me whats pissing me off is cube themselves their customer service is shit

 

[D_Ch]

their customer service is shit

I hope i won't need it; but it's part of the reason i got it from a very good lbs.
BTW, i was in my regular lbs the other day and a guy with his S-Works Levo was there, clearly pissed, saying he spent more time back and forth from the shop to finally fix it than riding it. Had to leave it there again...
It shows that no matter how much you spend, you're not immune from customer service. And that damn thing is EXPENSIVE!

 

[Chris ledger]

One of the reasons im going with bosch is hopefully the reliability over brose shimano etc.
My last bike was an e8000 bike which was 100 percent reliable but unserviceable so going for bosch just cant believe how little info cube will give to lbs or customers really hope the bike lives up to the wait

 

[D_Ch]

how little info cube will give to lbs or customers

That was wierd indeed; i had my deposit down with one of the biggest Cube dealers in the nation (Spain) and we both were surprised by the bike showing up without notice and earlier than the last estimate given. But the same happens every day lately with most shops and most brands. While i was waiting for a Scott Strike last summer (that never arrived, and now i'm glad), one morning i was there and they got delivery of one in size S they were not even expecting...
Such is the current state of things, it seems.

 

[Hanzzzie]

Scott are bastards.
We ordered a bike for our son and on delivery it got 20% more expensive

 

[D_Ch]

Here we go!
Finally at home, charging and setting up the Flow app.
At least two more were at the shop, one of the same color and one in white.
As for the 160, the owner said they have a couple on order but delivery is far off.

Got mine back yesterday. Invisiframe on and ready to go. Nice 34 mile ride today. Used mainly Eco and a small chunk of Tour +. Last 1km had a blast of Turbo. Mixture of tarmac, tracks and woods. My first ebike and first emtb. It’s an absolute joy to ride. No more worry looking at hills coming up and going the wrong way, you can get up anything. Very enjoyable and fingers crossed long may it continue! Think I have around 56% battery left.

 

[DoubleU]

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.

 

[D_Ch]

Anyone with the Smart system tried to export an activity from the Flow app?
I just did and the GPX is unusable...
One thing is to have to go through hoops to get it to Strava and such, but much worse is to not even be able to do it.
