Just want to say hi, I'm new here. I have Cube eMtb which I bought a year ago. Bin riding analogue mtbs since their inception was in the rough stuff fellowship before that Just keeping in touch with the news Nigel

Here's an interesting issue. I've been chasing rattles on my '23 Cube reaction hybrid pro. I padded the battery housing, and tightened stuff up. I have it pretty quiet on the bridle ways apart from a rattle when it gets very bumpy. It sounded like chain whipping and stopped when I free wheeled but started again when pedaling...hmm! The shimano Derailleur has a clutch which is supposed to stop this (it stiffens the chain tensioner in one direction). My thought was that because of this damping the whipping was being g transferred to the sprag clutch in the motor. To check this I turned the Derailleur clutch off and low and behold the noise stopped. This behaviour could seriously shorten the life of the motor...if I'm correct. Thoughts??

Hi! I'm also 6 2 . I went the other way with my Cube reaction pro, reducing the front by 2 teeth which for me was much better riding (I have a high cadence). Don't worry about the chain line it is only ever inline for one gear. Couple of teeth either way should fit, just measure the ring diameter. You will need special tools, a crank puller and a spider for the castle nut. Use a thread lock on the threads on assembly and torque them properly as they have a habit of working loose. Hope this helps Nigel
