    Cube Reaction Hybrid 400 Pro 2018 on going review

    Clearance was fine, my back tire is a little wonky (as the tubeless tape thing was slightly sat in the groove of the rim causing the tire to not sit perfectly straight) and it still had clearance. I can't confirm if there is enough clearance with the original forks though, i'll see if i can dig...

    Cube Reaction Hybrid 400 Pro 2018 on going review

    Just an update 8 months on from buying the bike, all has gone well, it has exceeded my expectations. I've mostly used the bike for travelling to work, more recently 7 mile round trip 4 days a week which is quicker than using the car. My miles are pretty low so far (600 miles) it always brings...

    Cube Reaction Hybrid 400 Pro 2018 on going review

    A couple of hundred miles in riding to work every day and all is gone well (though my rides are very small 3 miles a day its been great during the hot weather). I decided I would change the tires to Schwalbe Rocket Ron - SnakeSkin - TL-Easy - PaceStar 3.0 width to see how they are and to give...

    tubeless tyre removal nightmare

    Does anyone have any tips on removing tubeless tire I think the tire was welded on to the rim. I've now ruined the tyre so its a good job I have new ones to put on. I tried soapy water just can't get it to budge its welded on it seems, I've managed to make 1cm off the rim but it would take...

    Cube Reaction Hybrid 400 Pro 2018 on going review

    Just an update, all is going well touch wood, I've not had the chance to do any large runs lately but have been using it almost daily to commute to work (that rear mudguard comes in handy in the rain and snow) I was really impressed using it during the snow as I would have probably worked from...

    Cube Reaction Hybrid 400 Pro 2018 on going review

    Had a 28 mile ride around Torbay yesterday and got to really test it out some of the steepest hills I could find here, and it just flew up them with absolute ease. I'm quite shocked at how fast you can go up some of these hills...

    Cube Reaction Hybrid 400 Pro 2018 on going review

    I have to say another week on and I'm absolutely loving this bike! The ncx seat post is a complete godsend and really does smoothen out the ride! I'm going to take it out for a long run this weekend, though my plans have changed and I will take it to Torquay next weekend where there are some...

    Cube Reaction Hybrid 400 Pro 2018 on going review

    haha yea I noticed the resistance kick in a bit when accelerating fast, I'm determined to just get used to it and see how I feel in a couple of months. I'd be interested in finding out how different it would be with a slighter larger crank sprocket. Next week I will take the bike down to...

    Cube Reaction Hybrid 400 Pro 2018 on going review

    The forks arrived today (didn't realise I have to buy the remote lock separately) I fitted the new forks and just went for a quick ride for a mile to test it out. I have to say the front end feels noticeably lighter and handling seems a lot more responsive when turning (probably due to the...

    Cube Reaction Hybrid 400 Pro 2018 on going review

    Hi I'm new to this forum and after reading lots of threads around ebike's I decided I would give it ago. After much researching I decided to go with the Reaction Hybrid 400 Pro 18" (which comes with 27.5 wheels). I'm 5ft,10 and I think anything bigger wouldn't have done as its quite a big bike...
