So glad to have this forum! I have so many questions and knowledge gaps. I am a long time mountain biker who'll get his first ebike delivered this week.
I've got a Cube Stereo 160 650 Race coming from MTB Monster in Blackburn. It looks like the best mix between a good frame and battery combo with a good but heavy set of components.
I can't decide how much I need to look at weight reduction when kit wears out. With the total weight of the bike is saving a few hundred grams on components worth it? Or is there payback on battery life?
I will be getting my set of sixth element carbon wheels rebuilt to boost hubs, as that feels like a worth while investment. There seems to be a good chunk of weight to be saved between a deore and XT 12 speed cassette, so I might do that at the same time.
The bike comes with the bottom.of the range domain forks. I am looking for the cartridge upgrade to make it the equivalent of the RC model. Has anyone done this?
Cheers
