    Carrera Vengeance fault

    Hi, you don't have to have any electrical knowledge to have a go a cleaning these terminals. Get a small piece of emery paper or the likes, or even one of your wife's nail files, and give each terminal a good clean, just rub it back and forth until they are free or corrosion and dirt. With...

    Cube Reaction Crankset

    I use my MTB (Cube Reaction Race 500) for climbing, mostly in the hills etc, so I did the opposite, I changed the crank to a smaller one, so I can climb Munro's etc. It was just a case of finding the correct crank cog and fitting it, I had to shorten my chain by a few links also as I was...

    Second hand cargo bike with bosch motor, 5000miles

    I have a cube ebike with the Bosch CX motor, has done 1000's of miles in 4 years, and never missed a beat. I think a lot depends on the way the bike is treated. I have seen posts on here where people treat their ebikes exactly the same as an analogue bike, ploughing through mud and water, and...

    What do you guys think of Scott bikes?

    https://www.cube.eu/en/2021/e-bikes/mountainbike/fullsuspension/stereo-hybrid-160/cube-stereo-hybrid-160-hpc-race-625-275-bluenred/ Less than £4000 just for comparison. Personally I would take the Cube any day, that's just me though.

    Help! Help me choose between two Cube emtb models

    Firstly before you set your mind on which bike is best for you, I would check there are any available. Bike manufacturers will now be concentrating on their 2022 range. Mate of mine just tried to get a specific 2021 Cube bike only to be told they wont make any more 2021 models, he is now having...

    Have you tried Go Outdoors, I see they sell Lombardo eBike's and are a huge company. I would ask you local store and see if they can help.

    Newby Questions—Cube Acid Hybrid One 500 eMTB

    Forgot to say, it might be your brakes binding, hence why you think it slows down when you stop peddling. Quick test is to lift the front wheel off the ground and spin it with your hand, it should continue spinning for ages, then the same with the back wheel. If any wheel stops spinning too...

    Newby Questions—Cube Acid Hybrid One 500 eMTB

    I just bought the exact same bike for my wife, great bike, you will be well pleased. The chargers are double insulated so there is no need for an earth wire, they are all the same. It will have a small symbol on it somewhere, a square within a square = double insulated. Ideally they should...

    Canyon buying experience.

    How far is the online supplier to you, as even if you have a problem you can still stick it in the car and take it back, take the misses as well and have a day out with lunch. Most dealers will let you bring it on a specific day and work on it there and then if pre arranged, so you can pick it...

    Canyon buying experience.

    Just my personal thoughts, but I would rather buy from a local dealer, so I can return it if there is a problem. Yes there are good deals to be had online, but you have to balance that against how you would resolve a problem should it arise. Yes there will be many people who buy online and...

    Strava Changes

    Thanks for all the replies, I think Ride with GPS is probably my first choice, and I have been playing around a bit with that. Only problem I have is that I cant seam to plot a custom path, which is not an actual path, if you get what I mean. On Strava you could plot custom points to make you...

    Strava Changes

    Not sure how many on here use Strava, but I have for some time. I noticed they have made changes to restrict route planning to subscribers only. I'm not tight, but I only use it to plan a route or post a ride for friends to see, I don't need 90% of the other stuff. Question is, what else it...

    Suspension bearings for Cube Stereo Hybrid

    Hi, Found this online, it’s a little daunting at first, but essentially it lists all the part numbers for each bike. The “Art” Number, is the Cube “part” number, search for this online ie “Cube bearing 10549” and it will give you websites which sell this actual part. Your bike model number is...

    Suspension bearings for Cube Stereo Hybrid

    Yup, but I'm sure this guy was a bearing supplier, who did kits for what you wanted. i.e. he sold a full motor kit or a full suspension kit. Will see what I can find.

    Suspension bearings for Cube Stereo Hybrid

    Aye fair point, there was a guy on here before who did all motor bearings, I will see if I can find details, as he might be a good option to ask.
