My old Gen 2 Bosch has a 500Wh battery. My average rides are 25 to 30 miles with 3 to 4000ft of ascent, some over 30% and I’ve never returned with less than 30% battery. I’m 79.
I’ve got a purplish Cube, can’t remember what they call the colour, but it is covered in these patters and is the carbon layer grinning through. Looks cool, if I can remember what cool means.
Exactly. When my bike was stolen then found six months later the insurance company didn’t want to collect it and asked me if I wanted to make an offer. So I made a silly offer which they accepted. It even had a new battery charger.
All true but if you’ve got your bike at a good discount, it’s a well known make and the warrantee can be satisfied by another dealer then you’re all set for a few years. 10 in my case.
I used to think that being taken over by a non biking company was a disaster waiting to happen but my partner has just bought a bike from what must be one of the biggest suppliers in the U.K. at a good discount and they are owned by some venture capitalists.
Unlike most people on here, when I come down the cassette I go slower as I can’t or don’t want to pedal harder.
Whilst on the subject of gears, I’ve had my latest bike for 12 months and the chain has never been on the four smallest sprockets. So I could do with an 8 or 10 speed 21/51 cassette...
Some years ago I used Sport, then EMTB and now EMTB+ and I could never generate enough torque on a steep hill to match Turbo. Wherever I was peddling, sometimes on tracks over 33% I could always feel a boost in Turbo. Perhaps I’m just weak.
Nothing wrong with either the crank arm or the retaining bolt. Notice that Cube only want them returned for inspection.
Too much of the wrong Loctite was used effecting the torque on the screw by up to 10Nm. The recommended tighten to 55Nm solves the problem.
Ive heard all sorts of stories...
I wouldn’t have thought that you’d get the correct amount all ready in with your dipstick as some will be lining the tyre, although it would be consistent. Rightly or wrongly I just put the suggested amount in and hope that it does the job.
I was under the impression the these bikes were not homoligated for use in the U.K. so could not be registered for use on the roads. Quite apart from getting insurance. Is that wrong?
My old bike and my partner’s bike are both 10 years old with Acid crank arms so crap cranks is not a given.
A problem can happen with every component made, even Hope, that doesn’t make them all crap. Perhaps you have more pedal strikes than me.
Just topping my sealant up for the 4th time. I was just wondering if people just keep adding more until the tyre needs replacing or clean stuff out at some point.
Not had a tyre off yet so not sure what to expect re solidified sealant.
Before I went tubeless I had the tyre off on most rides.
