:waves: if you need any help then shout. I went to a 42t and needed to get a 118 link chain. I’ve just moved to an xt setup this week so everything is still fresh in my mind. It’s all pretty easy...

I've literally just replaced my drivetrain on a Cube Acid 400. Medium cage M8000 XT 11 Speed from Chain Reaction, corresponding 11-42t cassette and shifter. I also bought the 116 link chain but that was waaaay too short so have a 126 link chain arriving today. Will post up how it fits but I am...

pretty much all of them are swan neck installations... I've got a 2 bike Thule if you are interested...

Big fan of Continental Speed Kings for road work. Also had Marathons and rate them..

Paging @Bearing Man ;-)

Are you sure that its the motor mount? I've just replaced by 8 year old Shimano pedals with some Nukeproof ones and that's cured my creak on the left hand side....

20St bloke, daily commute of just over 10km a day and my 400w Acid Hybrid (ALP motor) is generally at just under 50% battery by Friday evening using Turbo mode. Yes, its tarmac rather than off-road and yes 've optimised the gearing for the commute but it does show that you can get pretty good...

Thanks Paul!

Interesting. I’m just coming up to 1,000 km on my Cube Acid Hybrid and other than swapping out to a larger front sprocket have done zero maintenance.... I was thinking that I’m probably due a service - @Bearing Man have you ever written a post on proactive maintenance and what to listen/check for?

Blimey - nicely split! Well done ;-) Hope the cheaper option works out...

From my experience it tends to only be road bikes with short cages and mountain bikes are medium to long. Ideally you want it as short as you can.. I have a hazy memory of the DGS part number being a medium length but I could be wrong. As you are running a 46T rear cassesst then I'd just plump...

Wotcha - will be back on the bike on Monday as a means to shift the mountain of cheese that has been consumed. I'm struggling to find a pair of waterproof 3/4 trousers or similar that fit a rather generous 42" waist. Most of the main brands seem to only go to 38-40 and I know that I'm nowhere...

Glad to hear that you are ok; like others, disappointed that no one came over to check that you were ok...

Just fitted https://www.evanscycles.com/topeak-defender-m1-xc11-mudguard-set-29-EV215560 to my Cube this weekend. Will let you know how good they are but obviously am not praying for bad weather!!!

Just in case anyone has missed this - https://www.prudentialridelondon.co.uk/events/freecycle/ Its a great event with thousands of bikes and a great community feel

Number #273 in the series.. a set of Conti Speed King tyres for the Cube.. Must say, fitting slicks to a 29" bike looks odd but purposeful ;-) Will see how it affects the commute. For those that are interested, the cheapest I found was with Bikester (nope, me neither!)...

The easy and short answer is they all will. Both mid and hub power will work; I have used a Cytronex hub to pull a 2 kid trailer up and down through Epping Forest and on smooth trails. Also had a kid hooked up via a FollowMe tandem with zero issues. Figure out the type of bike you want and...

Shimano CS-HG200, 11-34T is the default and I’ve not felt the urge to change it. Based on my previous knowledge (assumptions from 20+years) you’d need to change the shifters as well as the cassette as the distance between the cogs is the the important thing when it comes to shifters/cassette...

at work but https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/cube-acid-400-chainring-upgrade.34673/ I've just done exactly that but for a Cube Acid Hybrid

Depending on the attachment then yes; I've just swapped my ring out for a larger one and in doing so moved it from inside the spider to outside https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/attachments/45df6fdf-6311-4014-9f90-cf7c7bd20526-jpeg.30763/ This has done exactly as you describe - it puts low...
