Gave up on this idea long, long ago and bought a proper E-MTB! Didn't fancy trying to cope with the stresses and strains (on me or the bike!)

I finally got in there. Was hard work getting the miranda lockring off though. Ended up buying a 1/2 inch ratchet handle to fit into the new spider tool too. Had to put bike on floor and lean heavily to get spider to engage and provide enough static traction to stop the wheel spinning.Once the...

Yeah I just found one in stock at Singletrackbikes for about £19 delivered so grabbed that as the eBay one is out of stock now. Apparently the black shield/lockring combo is known as a "Miranda Lockring" for reference.

Just to say - the particular link above is 100% NOT the tool you need with a Bosch CX on a cube bike. It is entirely the wrong approach. You need the more traditional spider that can engage with the sprocket holes. The Bosch/Cube (and maybe other bikes?) combination has a black shield around the...

Yup. Straightforward warranty replacement from shop. Cube knew about it as soon as I emailed them about it. It has another screw point kind of just above 12 noon on the sprocket where the original has none. Not sure if that will help to hold it in place. Will update this thread when I do it...

Cheers. Slightly cheaper than the £30 one at the ebikeshop!

This cleaning/greasing thing that people seem to be doing. Firstly I'm concerned that this should be necessary on the bike - surely it's reasonable to expect a long travel dual suspension mtb to be used off-road in muddy/wet conditions? If so, then the cover and configuration *should* be robust...

There's a rabbit hole I didn't want to go down then! Half an hour later having been reading up on all reliability problems of Bosch motors and I'm beginning to get nervous. Time to get out and hammer the miles onto the bike to see if it's an early-failer or not. Sheesh.

Hi there. I have a 2017 Cube with the CX drive fitted. Had a warranty replacement on the motor cover from Bosch (chain is rubbing on original one). I need a tool to get the drive sprocket off so I can replace it. Is it this one I need...

For those looking in here who may be in the same boat I was a month or so back (i.e. "what will an e-mtb do for me and what will it be capable of with regard to steep slopes, etc.") I can report that I am amazed by its performance. I have the Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPA Race (it received its...

It is a massive 170mm dropper post too, to be fair. Fully extended in pic.

22" Cube. Largest they do. The (replacement) dropper post is further in than the one supplied with the bike. Cubes are notorious for being short and tall, but ironically the bike is longer than my previous one.

New owner checking in. Cube HPA Race 160 which has just had its first proper outing at Cannock (lots of other e-bikes around). The difference from my "normal" bike is phenomenal. Usually I am hundreds of metres back from my mates with them having to wait whilst I cough up a lung or two, almost...

Cheers fella! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Yeah, got it for £2,499 from cyclesurgery. Hope it fits when it arrives. Will think about spare battery if my riding habits expand! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

After all that I've decided to buy the Cube I mentioned above. It's on offer £600 cheaper than the Specialized and Ghost so if it's not a good fit when it arrives I can send it back. If it is right then I've got a bargain as it has good components on it anyway! Drive Unit - Bosch Drive Unit...

^^^ That's amazing. Unless you have tiny legs and a long body! I sat on the XL in the bike shop and it felt very comfortable for reach at 6'5" and 34" inside leg! Also amazed you find it under-braked as I thought it had twin 200mm rotors and 4-piston Magura MT5 brakes, which is pretty high up...

I have considered other bikes, but I can't find them in my size at the right price, shall we say! I did also find a Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPA Race a few hundred quid cheaper, but I'm not sure about the 160mm fork travel being a great thing. Specs for comparison: Frame - HPA Ultralight...

Thanks Eddie. Bad experience with SRAM or just personal taste? I don't know enough about each to judge really. I believe it's supposed to be relatively easy to get the battery out of the Levo still, but I take your point. I also share the concerns over the lack of immediate screen feedback...

I have found deals available in my size for these two bikes that put them at the same price. The specs look roughly similar to my untrained eye but I'd appreciate it if any bike experts around would give an opinion. Big difference is that Ghost has Shimano Steps motor and Specialized has Brose...
