    Turbo levo or Cube Reaction 500

    Depends on what colour and size you want I guess? I was lucky that there was a black 23” in stock for my lbs to order. However I really wanted red, but was told I would have to wait until Feb 2018.

    Bike security at home

    Decided to make my bike a bit more secure whilst parked in the garage at home. To secure my motorbike whilst at home I use a ground anchor concreted into the ground, Pragmasis 19mm chain and Squires padlock which works well. So I ordered the same again for my ebike. Ground anchor from eBay...

    What D lock would you recommend?

    I was going to buy the Abut Granit U lock, but went with the folding version instead.. Abus Bordo Granit X-Plus

    Bosch main bearing

    ebikeshop's business model of only selling parts to customers who have bought their bike from them obviously works for them. But surely they would sell more parts if they sold to anyone? Seems a strange business model to me.

    Which bike maintenance stand?

    Sounds like the X-Tools stand might be best then?

    Which bike maintenance stand?

    I see most of these stands grip the seat post. Are the clamps usually suitable for clamping the frame crossbar to keep the bike horizontal?

    Which bike maintenance stand?

    When you say it still rotates, do you mean it rotates when it shouldn't do due to it not tightening properly, or that it rotates as it should?

    Which bike maintenance stand?

    Thanks, that one does look good. The cross bar on my Cube is square, not round. Would it still clamp into the Park Tool PSC-10?

    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    One thing I dd notice today was the 15mph assistance cut off was very noticeable. I seemed to be finding my comfortable cruising speed was often about 17mph, but could certainly feel the assistance cutting off at around that speed, and found myself slowing down slightly to keep the assistance...

    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    Commuted on the ebike today for the first time. Its about 6 miles each way so not far. Its downhill and flat almost all the way to work, but then that means its almost uphill all the way home, and they are very steep hills. When I tried doing it the other year on my normal bike it initially took...

    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    Well I took my bike out for its first proper ride out today. I didn't go particularly far, but I did hunt down all the steep hill in the area, to see how the bike would tackle them, and i pleased to say that Turbo setting made even the steepest of hills an absolute breeze :). Ive put an old...
