My ncx is still going strong after 4500 miles

I'm an old hand with both cube & Bosch so I have a good idea what I'm getting and I've just been informed it will now probably be mid Febuary :(

I always charge and keep my battery indoors so when I start a ride my battery is at room temp and as it discharges it helps keep the temp up. I've learned from experience that if you start off on a cold day with a cold battery you'll get a noticeably reduced range. Also whenever I see...

I'd blame the BMS in the box not the charger ! I was considering buying a bat box but not now you posted your findings. I thought it would be easier than useing my RC balance charger ;)

Agreed, when you can get one :rolleyes: I can't get excited just yet as I'm still waiting for a delivery date :( it's not the end of the world, lm a patient man and I still have my analogue bike ;)

Well I'm not upset in the slightest, just amused. I can't see how this thread turned sour so quickly but it kept me entertained for a while ;)

I don't know if it pops out from the front but I wouldn't advise getting at it from the back :eek: The first time I fitted a new cable i took the back off by mistake :rolleyes: inside there's a surprisingly intricate collection of moving parts, the indicator itself is delicate plastic and has a...

Never seen that before :eek: if it's not to much trouble I'd go back to the shop they came from. Personally I'm a Schwalbe fan, 4 prs on several bikes over 8 years. As they have always performed Well for me so I know what to expect when I buy my next pr.;)

Back at work today, I remembered this optimistic post of mine :rolleyes: 10 days off work and I managed 9 rides of 8 to 20 miles each, some a bit windy others a bit cold but on none of them did it rain, which was nice :cool:

For my 10 pence worth I had both options on my Bosch powered Cube and late last year I built an analog (un-assited) bike from eBay & spare parts. Initialy fitted with a 9 derailleur (because that's what I had) untill a few weeks ago when I fitted a alfine 8 spd hub. The difference between the...

Well it all depends on what you have, are your brakes expensive to replace ? A seal/piston kit, new fluid and bleed kit lets you strip and rebuild them ? Personally I'd just buy new as my Shimano brakes (single sided) were less than £40 the pr, complete, pre bled and ready to fit. It would be...

Correction, I ment to say that I'm paying a little bit more for my cube than alt cycles price. After all is said and done, the bitter taste of poor service outlasts the sweet taste of a cheap price ;)

Yes that's the on but that's for collection only and my bike is coming from the nice people at Pitsford (Rutland cycles) 2miles away from my workplace :cool: and that's worth a lot too me:) Ive corrected my post, I'm paying a little bit more for my cube than alt cycles price

From Shakespeare's Hamlet, 1602: LORD POLONIUS: Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

Not to post on mundane threads:p

He's only posted on this forum 4 times, a lot of people come here for advice before buying a bike but soon move on once they've made a purchase. I'm on a Fiat forum just because I have a fiat, Im not a regularly poster there because the car is just a tool, I probably won't go back there untill...

Your not wrong there, I'm cool with paying a few quid more for my cube and its 500 battery. I appreciate for a lot of people price is the over riding factor when buying a new bike but for me the halfords bike looks too old fashioned and utilitarian for what is a purely leasure bike.

Azzuri has one, he started this thread before buying it & its post #56 you'll find his first rview http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/new-bosch-drive-halfords-carrera-bikes.29681/page-3 I have the Cube Acid 500 on order (replacing the Cube I've just sold) when it arrives I'll post my views...

Oh yes, I also get parcels turning up at work from China that I'd forgoten I'd brought ;). It's down to my method of shotgun buying, bid penny's on lots of identical items (only with free post though) The latest wins included elastic shoe laces 6p posted, fleece neck warmer 49p and a realy good...

I think they are the self same speakers we were seated near at our works Christmas dinner :confused: what was Christmas background music at the back of the room was unbearable at our table :mad: and the food was like 1970's school dinners aswell :eek:
