    Has my battery failed? Anyone had a Bosch power tube failure?

    Thanks guys, just had a look and noticed the battery certainly had movement, which after removing the battery i can see why! It seems there is a missing countersunk screw! which would explain the movement/rattling. Most likely never re-fitted after motor change? But also the battery...

    Has my battery failed? Anyone had a Bosch power tube failure?

    Thanks guys, so its looking like it may be the battery connection now! As i went for as ride yesterday on the "good" battery, and after 30 mins the bike started juddering/pulsing when on a long incline. But it didn't fully cut out/shut down. I could also hear a bit of a rattle from the battery...

    Has my battery failed? Anyone had a Bosch power tube failure?

    I have a 2022 Cube Stereo 160 with the Bosch smart motor and 750 powertube battery. A few months back the bike bricked its self mid ride, with a million error codes. My local Bosch bike shop said he had never seen a bike with so many error's. But after loads of tests, it was discovered the...

    Bike Park Wales

    Was there on Sunday with my Non E (Giga), don't think i had to que for uplift for more than 5 mins. The uplift is even quicker now they have made a shortcut up the hill for the buses. Unfortunately my day ended on a big crash on A470 on one of the bottom tabletops, i managed to overshoot and...

    Think i may have found my front end creak/knock....?

    So my Cube turned back up yesterday! They actually replaced the whole frame including the rear triangle and pivot's, along with a new Dropper post! The fork it still the old one which is a shame, as it needs a service ;) So cannot complain with that, as it will mean all new bearings etc...

    Think i may have found my front end creak/knock....?

    So typically i sent the supplier a shitty email Tuesday evening stating my dissatisfaction on how long its taken, and that i would be looking at a refund. Then First thing Wednesday morning, they have been told by Cube that its been repaired with a new front triangle (i assume this means the...

    Think i may have found my front end creak/knock....?

    Well Cube are really taking their time with this, nearing on 8 weeks since i dropped it back to the dealer, and Cube still have not given a verdict! If i don't have any news next week i think it will be time for some serious words with the dealer/supplyer. Who to be fair have given me weekly...

    Think i may have found my front end creak/knock....?

    So cube came back to the dealer, and want the bike shipped to them in Germany! so that they can investigate what has happened themselves! So another 2-3 weeks for this to happen :( Thinking of buying a second hand enduro non E-bike for the interim (may even keep it), as missing the mtb'ing!

    Think i may have found my front end creak/knock....?

    So i took the bike back to the supplying dealer on Tuesday (6 hour round trip!), he had a look at the photo's and thinks it looks like the cup has been slipping causing wear - but not seen it before on these bikes. Said he will strip it down, take photo's and submit a warranty claim with cube...

    Think i may have found my front end creak/knock....?

    Having spoken to a few motorsport peeps, they are pretty certain the head tube is de-laminating, causing weakness. Hence the sounds :eek: I wonder if the lower tube is flexing, this caused the wear on the steerer tube? Im very certain i didn't have a loose headset/tension. But if thats the...

    Think i may have found my front end creak/knock....?

    Actually now i take a better photo with some light, you can see the left side is clear Carbon Fibre, where the right hand almost looks like it been ground down and some form of filler in there?? But its not perfectly smooth, there is a bump in the filler'y stuff. And the bearing cup only goes...

    Think i may have found my front end creak/knock....?

    Hmm, and even more worrying, the carbon that the lower bearing cup presses into looks a bit worn?....

    Think i may have found my front end creak/knock....?

    So have been having some creaking/knocking sounding like its coming from the headset on my "21" Stereo 160. Re-greased and bearings seem ok, made no difference. Just taken it right apart and noticed where the plastic compression ring goes onto the steerer tube on the top bearing, its VERY...

    Should i have used Carbon Paste on headset bearing cup?

    So was getting some creaking from the head set area on my "22 Cube Stereo 160. I took the forks off, and the lower bearing was very much expired, so knocked the cup out of the carbon frame, fitted a new bearing and knocked the cup back in. I greased the cup with normal assembly grease. But...

    Derestricting bosch smart system

    So my experience with the speedbox 1.0 over the last month has not been perfect... Ive had a few freezes of the battery percentage while using it - which required a system restart, but had been working fine for around 300 miles. It transformed the bike. However then yesterday i decided to ride...

    Badly worn chain/drivetrain what will happen?

    Well my front brake failure is not good news, just had things apart. Firstly noticed 1 piston would not retract, and wobbled a lot compared to the others, managed to get the piston out, and found the rear of the piston has crumbled! o_O Going by the state of the brake pad wear, i suspect its...

    Badly worn chain/drivetrain what will happen?

    Thanks guys, just seen Merlin Cycles has a deal on with Shimano at the moment, so just ordered a M6100 Cassette for £69, and chain for £16 which seems a good deal. So may just get it fitted and get a nice smooth gear change back. May have to try the existing chain ring and see if its ok, as...

    Badly worn chain/drivetrain what will happen?

    So having done 1500 miles in 6 months on my Cube Stereo 160, replaced 4 chains at 25%. I decided on the last change that it will be the last chain for the cassette, and will run it to death, then replace the chain/cassette/chain ring. Its now between 75% and 1.0% on my chain checker. Its...
