    Battery cover not attach well

    I have a 2022 Cube action team 160 and it rattled like mad from almost new. I tried all the fixes suggested on here like packing behind the battery but nothing seemed to work Eventually like you say it was the rear shock which I sent to Silverfish and was repaired under warranty and they were...

    Power stations

    I use my Jackery explorer 1000 occasionally to charge my bike and it appears to take the same amount of time as using the mains .

    Mine e8000 torque sensor also failed after approximately 2000km I was fortunate, my Merida was 3.5 years old so 18 months out of warranty but Shimano replaced the motor free of charge. If you bought the bike new from a local dealer try there first, I did and Shimano requested the motor back and...

    Clicking sound coming from front chainring area? (Bosch/Cube)

    I can't play the video as I'm offshore at the moment I had a clicking noise on my 2022 cube stereo hybrid 160, it took me a little while to figure it was the chain ring rubbing the chain guide The chain guide had dropped too low and was rubbing the raised section of the chain ring spokes
