    Frameset only …. ⚡️

    You can get Cube frames from here HYBRID | SchlierseerBikeparts | Hausham I built up a gen 2 Bosch, shipping wasnt too bad to Australia. I plan on doing a swap of its parts to a gen 4 or smart system next year and getting another frame from them.

    Motor issues? Kiox just shutting down...

    Has your Kiox fallen out of it’s holder recently, if it has check around the back edges at the bottom to see if any metal is missing. Mine was doing the same as yours turning off without warning with sketchy assistance and clonk. It had cracked some metal off and wasn’t lining up with the...

    Battery fell out

    Doesn’t take much to dislodge it, the pin moves easily. I have a Cube with the same mechanism my bike fell over in the garage onto rubber matting and it moved. Thankfully that was a quick fix, wasn’t happy when I found the Kiox had cracked some metal off the bottom and wasn’t sitting in the...

    How to break the bead off of the rim?

    It is possible for the liner to bond to the tyre, I had that happen with the front wheel of my GT Sanction years ago. It’s a small frame so the bike had probably sat in a hot warehouse for ages was the only small frame bike around at the time and was going cheap so I grabbed it. It came with...

    Bike theft…Hero or Nogo

    I had an altercation with someone at a train station a couple of weeks ago, I kept my bike the guy has been charged and was taken into custody. I don’t live in London and it’s not common for this to happen one on one where I live, bike thieves usually go after bikes in the so called locked bike...

    Backpack battery?

    That one is 6.1kg (13.44 lbs) you really don’t want to carry that much weight in a solid block on your back ie high centre of gravity. It would be an absolute disaster if you crash you’d be looking at severe spinal damage. If you definitely want to go this way lighter is better, what sort of...

    Backpack battery?

    The only ready made ones I know of from a company are from Paradox Kinetics, their system uses one. Not sure if they sell the battery by itself however, the stock battery is about 3kg without the backpack. They were able to make a smaller one when I enquired that was a couple of years ago though.

    How easy is it to sand paint off a carbon frame?

    I’ve done it, it’s a pain in the arse. The coloured car vinyl rips easy when you crash too, it’s not as thick as the clear stuff so you will need to put that on as well. I will be going back to painting for next frame too much faffing around with vinyl.

    Ebike to >>>> bike - Conversion kit

    Great idea, would give a longer life to these bikes once the motors are no longer supported. Inbuilt storage space for a bit of bike packing or sly trip to the bottle shop?

    27.5 vs 29” let’s Mass debate !! What’s best ??

    27.5 for me, I’m short and light found 29 way too big I don’t know how people under 5”4 ride them. Would still quite happily ride 26 if wheels were still readily available for them where I am, 29 felt like being on wagon wheels after racing BMX 20 & 24’s
