    Cube bike sizing

    Hi jeepster, by coincidence, I share your height and inside leg measurements and have a Cube Touring model with a medium frame, as recommended online. In reality it is very much on the margins of comfort in terms of reach to the handlebars (rather than pedals which is ok). It has required an...

    RE: Bosch Active-Line motors - a cautionary tale:

    Thank you Gringo, something positive and encouraging at last! I have an ALP motor on my Cube and some of these comments were worrying me. At 18 months and 1500 miles it is is still very smooth and practically silent. Mind you, I previously managed 7 years and 7000 trouble free miles on a...

    Council recycling centre bike access

    You sound like an ecologically aware type of person, but can I just say that using wood from an old shed should not be burnt in a woodburner due to the toxins released from any preservatives etc. Just saying!

    Any Woosh Gran Camino owners out there?

    All very well and good even if to me that maintenance schedule sounds to be on the light side, but if a Gran Camino has not been pre ordered, is it likely that one would be available anytime soon or even this year?

    Where are Wisper Bikes Manufactured?

    I can't believe what I have read on Bugsey's posts. How on earth can such a person be an "esteemed pedelecer"?

    Not a great start with e-bikes. Chain continually jumps off the front sprocket.

    That's a thumbs up for the much maligned (on this forum) Halfords then!

    Maybe the nap on the billiard table has been brushed the wrong way!

    I'm assuming you aren't including the UK vaccine rollout success in your Brexit comment?

    Bosch Active Plus Gen.3, rotational play between chainring and cranks

    I can second that, exactly the same sensation on my 2020 Cube hybrid 1 touring with the latest ALP motor. Not a problem in the slightest. So "they all do that sir" is for once quite correct!

    How effective is "slime" at preventing punctures?

    I understand that with a slime filled inner tube you should position the valve towards the top half of the wheel to prevent the slime entering the valve, presumably under gravity.

    Which e-bike?

    Do you (Woosh) actually have a Santana or Gran Camino in stock and if not any idea when will they be available? Any complete e bikes at all in stock? Website does not provide any clarity.

    Valeo combines an ebike motor and an automatic gearbox in one unit

    Shows how important the title to a thread can be. Some give no clue at all. Ok if you are a regular forumite and read everything but not for the less frequent readers!

    Bike Locks

    It seems to me that they become comfortable after a breaking in period. The question is how long is this? VFR says he has been breaking his in for 6 years!

    Bike Locks

    Sorry for the tardy response but thankyou for the link to the Brooks website. Is the B67 you have quite old as it looks a different shape to the new one. Don't want to be breakingin a new one forever. Wish I had kept thesaddle from my old bike!
