or maybe have a look at Pirelli or Vittoria.
I'm very satisfied about my Scorpion S/M combination on the Cube.
Can I just confirm, with the 38T chainring on now, is that the original chain back on again, or the chain you put on when you moved to the 42T chainring?

The original short 114 link chain went "just" over the 42t-42t with the derailleur nearly at the end.
I see the picture where I had the 38t with the original chain, I drove like that till it was used. So your 38t-42t should also work without problems.
Later I replaced the 11t-42t with a 11t-46t cassette, for those 46t I definitely needed a longer chain now and threw the used original away. 124 or 136 link can be shortened to fit here.
I shortened the chain so that both 38t, 40t, 42t chainrings are possible.

From reading thru your thread this morning, it doesn't look like you did the speed hack, is that correct?

I exercise my right to remain silent about this...
great post, can you tell me, when you added the 38T chain link can you still use the orig chain or did you have to get a longer one. I so much want to do this mod . Thanks in advance
Fitted 38t 1k KM ago - same chain - works perfectly
Checked the cable to the controller?

With the cover open to remove all modifications that could lead to a warranty denial, I checked the connectors and indeed: white occidation marks.
Lubed it, a few times in-out, works again !
Thanks for the suggestion man !
Somehow in this area a lot of dust and humidity accumulate.
5-pin hmi connector already lubed, 2-pin speed connector not yet.

So I showed the bike to the Decathlon guys... ok wheel warranty no problem.
But the wheel was not in stock...so the had to order, I had to wait for a phone call...no phone call. .
So I went back.... Ok we will order...
Then today I got the call and immediately went after the wheel.
They proposed to do the complete swap themselves, but as I converted to Schrader and tubeless, I chose to do it myself.
I just have to return the defective wheel when finished.

The 11-46t "SunRace" cassette didn't accept a new chain anymore,
so I put back the old over-used chain to drive the complete combination till the end.
Now the new rear wheel has arrived, it's the ideal moment to also renew the cassette and chain.
A 10sp 11-50t from "SunShine" this time, 28.08eur, 15 days delivery.
The chain is a KMC e10 EPT again from bike24.de, 37.61eur, 136 links
www.aliexpress.com
The cassette came with a derailleur hanger extension included,
it's needed because 11-46t is the limit for our Deore derailleur.
This is how it's mounted:
A complete view:
From now on I will alter 2 chains for 1 cassette on my bikes.
As it is mounted now (38t <-> 11-50t) the complete chain including Quick-link has 120 links.

The 11t <> 13t shifting needed a little finetuning, it wasn't reacting every time to the shifter.
Propably due to the bigger derailleur distance and the unsuited derailleur angle, adjusting is more sensitive.
The front chainring ( >2000 km ) makes a rattling noise under load with the new chain.
Compare the tooth profile difference with the new one I had in stock:
Keeping the back nuts in place during mounting:
No more rattling noise now.

With this 10sp 11-50t china/hyperglide "hg500" system I am completely satisfied.
Somebody has a clue why Shimano had to "invent" the uncompatible Linkglide system (10-speed version)
Doesn't seem lighter, doesn't seem cheaper, the only claims I see are bold, "up to 300% more... improved shifting... " but there isn't a single real comparison to be found.

What mudguards please as these looks very good.
Is the bike going to be use for commuting and having racks fitted for transporting stuff
Then they look very good
But i bought
Mudd huggers which are basically to try and stop crud getting on you.
I live on an unmade road with potholes full of water they do help

A bit of everything. BUT as I will take bike away when going in caravan I need to stay clean as have to go all weekend with no ability to shower.
It's amazing two years down the line,
