So, you're thinking " I wonder how that guy that went from the 2019/20 Cube Stereo 140 SL to the 2021 160 Stereo SL is going now?" Don't panic.....I can tell you how he's going. Slower!
What do I mean by "slower"? Well, it took a while to get used to how things on the new bike worked and the...
I bought my 2019/20 Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 SL in December 2019 and I bought it second hand with very low Km's. The bike had been used for a commute only and had not off road Km's on it at all. The original tyres were still in good condition. My only issue was that the original owner fitted a...
It was a prefectly normal weekend, woke up Saturday morning, ate breakfast, shared some funny moments from the preceding week with the lady wife and then put the armour on, filled the water bottle and set off on a trip to the track I ride every day, Manly Dam. I have told you about this track in...

Hi Folks,
I've been here a couple of months now and I've been watching, reading, learning and wondering! Whilst doing those things, I have also been taking advantage of the "work from home" situation that is Covid-19 and using my bike every day! I am lucky enough to live near one of Sydney's...
I am a 58yr old newbie......in my head I am only 25 but thats another story. My only loves over my life have been female (generally too expensive) or things with engines, wheels, handlebars or steering wheels, that kind of thing. I have little love for football or darts or manly pursuits such as...
I posted this in another thread......not trying to be controversial, just my point of view. I can really see the value of the derestrictor for a commuter but the negatives outweighed the positives for me. Maybe I dont mean that the product was "stupid" but the change in bike feel was so...
So here is the thing........when I bought this bike, the original owner had installed a badass box, I have drawn a ring around it in the attached photo, and as I had no emtb experience, I left it on the bike and found that I was riding everywhere very quickly, no, I mean really...
Hi Rui,
thanks and yes, it is the same mudguard front and back......easier to remember which is which that way! ;) Effectiveness is only so/so but keeps the stray muck from eyes and face and limits amount of wet crap that goes into the suspension mounts and back of motor.
@Akiwi - I am sorry about the bad news about your job....here in Australia our government has put some really good support measures in place and I hope you have these in Germany too. When you get back from your ride, go on another one........you'l feel really good then!
Hi Forum, Sydney Australia here......week 2 of owning my 2019 Cube (built 2018) Stereo Hybrid 140 SL 500 and apart from having my first fall while descending a set of stairs (yep, stairs!!!), I'm loving it. My rear brake has had new pads by the previous owner but was not bled correctly and when...
Thanks to everyone who has been kind enough to make a suggestion or offer help.....very much appreciated. I did resolve the issue by following GGX advice and I routed the cable outside the frame..........went for my first off road ride today, 17kms at Manly Dam in the Northern Beaches area of...
