    Please help educate me.. Enduro vs "All Mountain"

    In my mind enduro means you're hitting stuff harder, pulling more g's one way or another (including braking). An enduro bike ought to be able to deal with that better and for longer than an all-mountain bike. An Enduro bike is for people who like trails but go a bit crazy downhill now and then...

    do you buy an ebike to keep for a long time? or sell on before warranty runs out?

    My Bosch waranty was worth about 3K over two years. Then the (carbon) frame broke. I was given the option to replace with new for a 2.5k supplement (on a 5.5k bike). I took it. Don't regret that decision.

    Are cube bikes any good these days?

    Great value. But compare the warranty with other manufacturers when making comparison. And definitley go with a good LBS you trust for an ebike, CUBE no exception to that advice ;)

    Can you damage a carbon frame (say cracking the top tube) by bouncing it on it's back wheel to get it dry (asking for a friend)?

    How about ebike warranties which are transferrable like car waranties?

    We need to unionise and fight against the manufacturers BS - e.g. their normalisation of non-transferrable warrnaties. I mean what other purpose/rationalale is there for it other than reducing the manufacturer's liabilty?

    Comment by 'edruid' in article 'This is the Cube Stereo Hybrid ONE55'

    Any reason to think that the carbon frame on these is better / stronger than the Stereos? I broke my 140 2020? Particularly worrying about the shock mount on the top tube - looks like a major stress-point!
