Let's see your cubes

[EebStrider]

Many say that, but they are about to be replaced it is a standard Schwalbe, but they hurt my eyes. My wife loves them on hers

If it’s any consolation, I think they look awful! ?

I bought a frame from SchlierseerBikeparts and then rebuilt it with the 1500 watt Luna motor (Bafang M620). Enough power to pull the trailer steep uphills with the dog in it

New Bike Being Delivered On Monday

Change of plan going for this one now

 

[IonutF]

Hey guys

Am thinking of changing the wheels set. I was looking for a Hope wheels set and during research I got a bit distracted towards a CrankBrothers Iodine 2 wheel set.

Can anyone help with a few thoughts, ideally based on experience: Hope vs. Crankbrothers wheels?

Riding terrain:
15% Mountain trails/Enduro
60% City (schwalbe super moto tires)
25% Forest, flat ground trials

160 HPC SL

Some pics with your rides would be ideal, specially with crankbrothers wheels, as these are significantly different from a design point of view.


Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! Weird as on their website I can only find Synthesis, Iodine 2 (marked as suitable for ebikes, enduro type of wheels), Iodine 3, Zinc (gravel) and Cobalt (XC)
I will do a web search for Lithium.

How are you getting along with the wheels? Sarisfied? Are there any "worry points" to keep in mind for riding / maintenance?

the lithium have reinforced spokes and a steel freewheel and have now lasted over 2000 miles with me without any problems. And that although the bike weighs 27 kg and pulls up to 1500 watts and 160 Nm on the rear wheel

Thanks a lot for your input, I really appreciate it. I also wrote to crankbrothers asking them what wheel set is suitable for my ebike, in order to get more details also from manufacturer.

Any chance you can share a link to the website from the shop you bought the wheels?

Thanks again!

My wife has one, and she loves it! There is a tool for every job, and she prefers simplicity and less work, more riding. Also she prefers the more direct control with the rear wheel.

I initially bought the hardtail emtb as I ride motorbikes for 9 months of the year and this was to keep me on two wheels over the winter. However totally caught the emtb bug now so will get an FS too for singletrack trails and keep the hardtail for longer distance cross country winter explorations !

I still have a non-e hardtail - it is still really great fun, and actually far better at playing/jumping around stuff in urban areas

Yes, 47 years old and still can’t resist jumping off kerbs and seeing the ‘street’ as an urban obstacle course

How do you find the rolling resistance of those tyres, compared to the ones that came with the bike? I'm about to fit a set of these to mine.

I only fitted the e wild recently and literally only just done a quick 7 mile ride in mainly mud & gravel to bed them in this morning. Off out again soon on various surfaces. Seem absolutely fine so far. Filled to 25 psi as I was looking for more grip in the mud than the Smart Sam’s. Got to around 26 mph on a downhill gravel path and felt great, sharp lh bend at bottom and felt confident enough not to hit the brakes!

Keep us posted. I've fitted DH22's to my Whyte, and there's a lot of resistance compared to the Schwalbe's on my Cube.
