    Review SicoMTB - perfect rear mudguard!

    I still have the RRP short on the front but the short version. I only have the SicomMTB on the rear and I’m comparing it to the RRP rear that I removed I don’t like the look of mudguards and would prefer not to use any at all. Like I said, for me, less is more

    Review SicoMTB - perfect rear mudguard!

    I’ve just swapped an RRP for a SicoMTB on a 2019 Cube 160. They are similar at first glance but the SicoMTB is wider and much longer at the front where it matters. It has massively more clearance due to being model specific and that also means there are no legs down the seat stay which I think...

    Sad day for my Decoy

    That frame looks battered. I’m guessing it’s at the end of its useful life I hope YT see it differently and you get it sorted in some way or another

    CUBE Stereo Action Team 160 HPC 500 - Main Pivot / Rocker Bearings:

    @MrPeaski is right in posts #2 &4 You need to remove the cable and brake hose so you can get the rear triangle off the bike and onto a bench. A blind bearing puller might help to remove the old bearings but you can manage without...

    Yep you need one pointing where you’re going and one pointing where you’re looking. Some folk I ride with go to far though and look like a UFO 😂

    Pic of the Day

    I had an interesting day yesterday. Took the train to Ribblehead for an easy ride round Cam Fell Then everything went pear shaped. My buddy’s chain jumped off, then we tried a short cut and met Mr Grumpy and his angry son who made turn round. Then I got a call about a family emergency and had to...

    Pic of the Day

    Got up and off early yesterday to ride Askham Fell Loop and Howtown. I didn’t see a sole until I hit Ullswater and all the campers getting up to walk in to Polley Bridge for breakfast 😂 It was still boiling, even the locals had to find shade anywhere they could

    Do you clean & lube your brake pistons?

    I don’t clean then specifically. Maybe once a year, or if I change the pads, I’ll cycle the pistons to make sure they move freely. If they seem a bit sticky I’d use a drop of the appropriate brake fluid on the piston

    Cube Stero Hybrid 160 TM 2022 Stuck lower headset bearing casing

    Yes you need to knock it out from the top AFAIK a LockBlok is part of the headset that restricts how far it can turn so the bars can’t stoke the frame. It should knock out like a regular headset cup If I’m wrong someone who knows better will be along in a minute to point it out

    Digital shock pump - what are you using?

    I also have the Lifeline one, it replaced an analogue RockShox one and it’s better IMHO

    [POLL] Hanging an eMTB by it's dropper post in a workshop stand?

    I voted E I use method as @Mikerb mainly because it is easier to lift the bike into the bars than try to hold it with one arm while I close the clamp That said I’m 100kg all up and the post copes with that without any problem so the main risk would be scratching the Kashima coating
