    Bosch CX Gen 4 Mileage/Reliability

    Nearly 3000 miles on my stereo 140, Bosch CX, no problems at all. It got a bit noisy around 6-700 miles but has quieted down now. The Mrs' Trek rail 5 is around 1000 fautless miles, and went through the same noisy period but is also quieter now.

    Rail 5 and 36t chainring?

    Any one tried this? I tried a 38 and it won't fit, was wondering if a 36 will. Thanks in advance.

    CX performance "service due"

    Ok, thanks. I can do all mechanical servicing myself. I bought the bike mail order due to lack of availability locally. Is there a way of resetting the display so the service message no longer displays?

    CX performance "service due"

    Hi all, my stereo 140 has clicked over the 2000 miles on the Kiox and now when I start up I get the "service due" message. Has any one done this recently, and what does it entail and cost. Cheers.

    Rear mudguard that works - IMHO

    After lots of adjustments, fine tuning and general faffing and getting soaked, I've resorted to the bit of plastic flower pot fender extender, which has sorted it out. As the actress said to the bishop, a couple of extra inches makes all the difference?. I think I would have been better off...

    I'm the same, I can take a year to make a final decision but once I'm sure, I need it NOW?

    Rear mudguard that works - IMHO

    It seems to sit further back on your Levo than on my Cube, I tried several adjustments but could not get it to sit in a position that stopped the water flicking up off of the back of the tyre and on to my back. I'm thinking I should have got the mud hugger XL. I have a cubeguard 29 that protects...

    Rear mudguard that works - IMHO

    Whats bike is it? Yours looks like it covers the rear wheel much further towards the rear than mine when fitted to my Cube 140.

    Stereo Hybrid 140 vs 160

    The rrp proguard is good up front. I bought a zefal rear but it was no good at all. This one worked but it occasionally buzzes the rest tyre. https://www.ttcycles.co.uk/accessories/finishing-kit/2020-cube-cubeguard-performance-29-rear-mudguard-in-blue__3971#miv-1

    Rear mudguard that works - IMHO

    To all that have the Zefal rear guard and have had a positive experience, are you on 27.5 or 29? I fitted one on my 29er and it's useless, I got a soaked back and arse on my last ride.

    Stereo Hybrid 140 vs 160

    "Trail use, no big jumps, no down hill" would suggest to me the 140 with 29" wheels would be better suited to your needs. I got one last year as my requirements from the bike matched yours. That said I have encountered a few steep trails that have been dug with some drops and jumps and the bike...

    Whyte E-160 RS V1 2021 vs Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC 2021(a comparison beaten to death i guess)

    I really like the idea of buying British and having good back up, if I was buying at that price point these would be big selling points for the Whyte. One of the main concerns I would have personally would be the battery removal on the Whyte. It looks a proper faff. Bosch recommend removing the...

    Creaking front end or headset 2020 Cube 140 AT - design or maintenance?

    That was definitely the case with my 140 hpc race. The Superstar replacement is excellent?

    Stereo hybrid 160 replacement headset

    Just fitted the Superstar headset. It was the easiest headset change I've ever done. The cups almost went in with thumb pressure? It is a beautiful piece of kit, but what a piece of crap the original FSA orbit was. How did Cube justify putting such a poor component in a nearly 4 grand bike? I...

    What do you HATE when we buy a new bike and e-bike ?

    Sales people who's default is to talk down to the customer like they are a clueless moron who has no idea at all about their intended purchase. It should only take a minute or two to realise the person who is about to lay down ££££'s on a bike has some previous experience with bicycles and has...
