Probably the wrong forum to have this discussion but does anyone miss their old non Emtb?
I bought my first Emtb around 18 months ago and whilst it’s great fun kind of miss the reward of riding a non Emtb!
I totally get the draw if you live in a hilly place such as Scottish highland or other...
Did anyone sort this issue out? One thing that has come up on a forum is that so bikes seem to have a washer and sleeve see photo.
Just checked mine and definitely no sleeve but if that was left out it could explain the issues people are having?
There is definitely something wrong either with how the shock is installed or missing parts, or your frame is made incorrectly.
I get what you are saying about it being a bad design but this would be happening on every bike if it was down to design alone.
How many miles have you done?
The bolts are designed to flex the issue are the bushes falling out if yours aren’t don’t worry about it.
Putting a DIY bush into the frame is a really bad idea, if it cracks the frame your screwed
This is why I was suggesting to previous posts that if damage has occurred to the frame from the shock then the explanation is that either the rear shock was not installed correctly, the bolt was loose or sleeve was missing.
Don’t get me wrong I think cube design and build quality is awful! But...
Agree that is odd and cube seem clueless! I’ve had my motor bushes falling out for the last 6 months and they haven’t come up with a Solution yet!
How many bikes have you seen that are actually damaged by the rear shock?
Are you sure the bikes with the issues are assembled properly with the insert piece? It just seems odd as to why the design would effect some bikes and not others
That’s good you got a full refund. I would almost certainly say it must have been put together wrong either missing the insert sleeved or loos wrong bolt.
If this was an issues with the frame there would be hundreds of cube 144/177 with this issue.
