After a fall the other day and landing partly on the derailleur I have straightened the hanger and my gears now move much more smoothly , so the chunkiness on shifts must have been due to the hanger alignment! With tools to hand I also moved the spoke pin about 5mm further outwards and my...

I’ve noticed a perceived drag above an indicated 16 but thats just the assistance cutting out, a few seconds later its all forgotten. Never noticed on a downhill and I’ve hit some silly speeds....30 plus while braking. When I’m above 16 and prolonged I click down to off mode , the motor...

I managed to get the correct post width for my cube after looking up the spec online and then measuring....Unfortunately I ordered a 400m post as I thought all for one and the cube mechanic who built my bike just cut the original post down to size. Gung-ho I decide when it arrived I’ll just do...

I came from riding a fairly basic hybrid none-e 20 - 25 miles a day on roads. What are your fitness levels , are you a regular rider. I now ride fewer miles but over a mixed terrain so the allroad suits my needs. The nature hybrid 500 is more road focused with road tyres, it's lighter and...

Hi Lostis4d. I also found the reaction pro 500 to be more nimble than the allroad 625 but they are different machines. It sounds like you’d have been better off with the nature hybrid 500 or the slightly lighter allroad 500. . Did you try a selection of ebikes before deciding on the allroad...

Finding my (battery) feet

Tried out the lights on another wet ride last night and they have plenty of power , the fronts are a bit too wide angled but lit up to 5m ahead well. I was flashed twice by oncoming cars even though I have them set at lowest pointing level! I strapped my lezyne to the handle bar but no need...

Took a ride along the Pennine Way today and again the mudguards did their job. Until I get a soaking I’ll leave as is. Won’t be bodging anyway. It made mincemeat of the wet muddy terrain and inclines , only downside today was the wide handlebars take some manoeuvring to get through the...

My original conclusion was that the gen 3 nature exc was right for me..until I tried the reaction pro with the gen 4 cx75 motor. The riding position of the hybrids suits me more than a mtb but the gen 4,in my opinion ,had less lag once passing the 15.5mph barrier even on knobblies.The mtb riding...

Thanks to this forum, today I made my first ebike purchase. After much reading ,looking and test riding I was toing and froing between the reaction hybrid pro 500 and the nature hybrid 500 exc. By complete chance today I came across a bike show at Wheelbase in Staveley with Cube being highly...

I have a Thule 925 already. It’s rated to carry 2 ebikes. Roof carrier rated to 20kg so would have to weigh the bike without a battery.

and with the 625 battery. I like the way focus have integrated the batteries to give the bikes a non e look. I’m going to go to onbike in worcester within the next few weeks and try out their different bikes before purchasing.

Yes I’ve read up on the different specs until my eyes have gone red. 10lb difference in bikes weight with battery removed so ok to lift. My old schwinn weighs more than the cube.

Yeah. I ruled out the cube with a carrier as I’d rather have the choice over whether I wanted it permanently on the bike or not. Mixed reviews on the mudguards re:trapping stones and mud , I’ll go and look at the choice of cube bikes and decide. Not sure if I’ll be transporting the bike on car...

RobF. Thanks for the reply. I’ve increased my mileage as I’m mainly cycling on small gradients , some tracks but getting a little bored of the same views. I can average 13mph. Today I had to stop twice on a mile long climb so ebike definitely needed for me to get up some of the more hilly...

First time poster after a few weeks of post reading. I’m also on the lookout for my first e-bike. I think I’ve narrowed it down to one of the following 3 which retail under £2k. Cube Acid Hybrid One Allroad. 2020. Rockrider E-ST 900 from Decathlon. 2020. (I’d have to add extras for road use...
