Cube Acid Hybrid one 500

All i can say is the bike after one ride exceeded all my expectations. adding di2 and tubeless 650Bs was a good option for me, which took me around 2hrs to do last night.

but what a beast of a bike and makes the commute more doable on multiple days

Did you power Di2 off bosch system?

No, running it off the di2 battery, that's custom fitted into my handlebars

Seems to be some good deals on the XT groupset at the moment as well. Tempted to upgrade mine (same bike but 400)

It's a seriously good bit of kit and works well with the ebike.......do have to ease off the pedals before changing gear though

Yep, just back off a bit as you go up the cassette, going down seems to be ok to keep the power on..

Which Di2 did you go for? I’ve only seen the road-bike versions where the shifters are on the levers

i'm trying to find some nice 29er 2" slicks if anybody has any recommendations.............

adding di2

I think Bosch allow seamless integration of Di2 into a system, where it controls the shifting and does things like automatic reduction of motor power when changing gear.
Is this what you have added?
Or have you just got a totally separate discrete Di2 system bolted onto a bike with no integration into the ebike electronics?

Schwable Almotion, to get minimum rolling resistance and best puncture protect run tubeless. Folding tyre so easy to fit.

See rolling resistance website to see how they compare to other tyres.

40mm?
Almotions come in 28*1.5, 2.0 &2.15
Bike24 have larger ones.

Ok, must have missed those some how

The schwalbe g-one in 50mm looks a good choice
