I'm still waiting for the outcome from Bosch. As to fixing it myself, i doubt it that difficult so long as i can get the bearing and that the bearing puller is not a super special thing. i'm hoping for a positive outcome and then its all about trying to see how long it lasts after the warrant...

You raise a good point Ballynoes! i didn't get a manual for the motor when the bike was handed to me, and i doubt anybody on this forum did either. again, knowing the limitations of the go anywhere eMTB after the fact has not helped. Likely you had to go and seek this out on the inter web. How...

Last week I was riding out on my Cube Stereo HPA 140 500 race and noticed what i believed to be extra noise coming from the DU. I really didn't know if it was a form of paranoia or if it truly was getting more noisy. So when i got home i did my usual cleaned the bike and put it on the stand. I...

cheers! ordered immediatly

when i get my Cube back ill do that. any recommendation on the type/ grade of grease?

in reality, i can't tell without taking the bearing out.... so possibly yes or no

Mine was £2850 and apart from this motor issue its been an angel..... except for the punctures. I suppose a 106 kg bloke and a heavy e-bike all conspire to make punctures an every day event. hopefully going tubeless will make my life easier from now on LOL

the most infuriating part of this, is that if there were warning on the bike, then i'd have done what was required of me.!

Thanks for the link, found this supplier which look very well priced for the kit and the tool needed etc. https://www.ridewill.it/cart/en/?pagprov=/search/en/

I couldn't agree more! all suppliers could be contacted and bike shops keep records, don't they? it would save us the Ar*e ache and them the money!

Thanks for the reply. Knowing what i now know...... i've identified all that i need to maintain it properly and the bit about the pressure washer makes sense, as i don't want the DU going wrong again. i did find a website in italy which is very well priced for the tools and grease etc. I wait...

Hi Guys, new here and first post. Ive read all of the threads about premature bearing failure on the Bosch CX DU and can report that it also happens to full suspension bikes as well. Ive had my Cube stereo since November of 2016 and have to say i've enjoyed it throughly as I've got dodgy knees...

Retired and having fun.
