So, you're thinking " I wonder how that guy that went from the 2019/20 Cube Stereo 140 SL to the 2021 160 Stereo SL is going now?" Don't panic.....I can tell you how he's going. Slower!
What do I mean by "slower"? Well, it took a while to get used to how things on the new bike worked and the...
I bought my 2019/20 Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 SL in December 2019 and I bought it second hand with very low Km's. The bike had been used for a commute only and had not off road Km's on it at all. The original tyres were still in good condition. My only issue was that the original owner fitted a...

I am a 58yr old newbie......in my head I am only 25 but thats another story. My only loves over my life have been female (generally too expensive) or things with engines, wheels, handlebars or steering wheels, that kind of thing. I have little love for football or darts or manly pursuits such as...
I posted this in another thread......not trying to be controversial, just my point of view. I can really see the value of the derestrictor for a commuter but the negatives outweighed the positives for me. Maybe I dont mean that the product was "stupid" but the change in bike feel was so...
So here is the thing........when I bought this bike, the original owner had installed a badass box, I have drawn a ring around it in the attached photo, and as I had no emtb experience, I left it on the bike and found that I was riding everywhere very quickly, no, I mean really...
