I've just managed to get out of hospital for a few hours to view and measure up the bikes that I've been offered. 1) Cube Aim Pro - As much as I like this bike it didn't feel quite right on the test ride. I figured that if I was buying a bike to ride without converting it, it wouldn't be this...

By taping a wire to both poles, you'll here a chemical reaction, followed by a bit of smoke, and maybe a flash. When confined, then gases have nowhere to go and you've got a bomb on your hands.

Many thanks for the photo's Trevor. Did any big problems arise with this build? Is that the chain wheel that came with your kit? The chain line looks pretty good, did you have to use any packing to get that? Cheers!

About 10 years ago myself and a couple of friends where making variable voltage e-cigarettes at Hackspace, before they were commercially available. One guy had damaged the plastic shrink wrap on a 18650 and it shorted in the tube/pipe he was using to hold the battery. We'd noticed they were...

Yeah, I have quite a bit of experience using 18650's. They're quite scary when they go off.

I did worry about getting a sweaty back.

After seeing posts here and on other forums, I'm a little worried that Cube's have non-conventional frames/bottom bracket placing/chainstays. I'll probably remove the bottom bracket and offer up the motor to see if it looks as if its going to cause problems. If it looks like it'll be tricky I've...

Cheers, looks like I'll have to file down the internal cabling housing. I'll look out for that before I start.

I still need to check the bike out(I'm in hospital ATM) in the flesh, but I've been given a Cube Aim Pro 29er hardtail hybrid with hydraulic brakes. Most of my riding will be in town, but on towpaths, bridleways, a disused railway line, woods(with good quality paths). In the past I've tended to...

I found a previous build for my Cube Aim Pro 29er, gives me a bit of confidence that it's possible. I'll keep my eyes peeled for more Stereo builds.

I've been given a Cube Aim Pro 29er that's in great condition and I'm planning on using this as a donor bike for my bbshd kit. I haven't seen the bike in the flesh yet as I've had to come into hospital for a minor operation. I've seen that Electric Bike Conversions South West put a bbs02 kit on...

I came across this Cube Stereo with a bbs01b on the German pedelecs site while researching if a Cube Aim would be suitable for bbshd. https://www.pedelecforum.de/forum/index.php?threads/cube-stereo-mit-bbs01b-350-w.45825/ Unfortunately there are no further details, just a picture. It's a pity...

I hadn't even thought of that, yeah back brake sounds good. Saves me a little job. Cheers.

Lovely, thank you Woosh. I have yellow 3 pin. My instructions say I can manage without the sensors, but I fancy adding them anyway.

Sorry, I should have put this in "conversion kits general discussion".
