    2018 Bosch software version?

    Anyone know what software version my 2018 Cube ebike would have had installed when I purchased it at end of 2017? Whilst my bike is in the local bike shop for repair, they have mistakenly performed a software update, and I want it reverting back to original. Just wondering what version it...

    Bosch speed sensor cable routing?

    The seat post hasn't been changed, I just removed it, inserted a length of metal tubing into the frame, and then dropped the seat post back in. The tubing sticks out and the seat post goes over the outside of it and slides down. The tubing is cut to just the right length for the seat post to go...

    Does anyone know if the Bosch speed sensor cable on my Cube Race 500 routes along the bottom of the seat post tube? In other words, if you were to remove the seat & post and shove a stick down there, would it come into contact with the cable? The reason I ask is my speed sensor cable has...

    Bosch high battery temperature?

    My 2018 Cube Reaction Race is at the lbs for fault diagnostics, and they report that it has had 115 battery charges and the battery has reached its highest temperature of 44 degrees which is unusually high.

    Bosch 503 Error

    Just got the bike lifted up to have a look. Do I need to remove the skid plate before I can remove the left side cover? As well as the two obvious bolts on the side of the cover... Theres also two on the front (though one may be for the right cover), and the two for the skid plate...

    Bosch 503 Error

    Any suggestions for this please? Got the '503 ERROR' come up on my Purion display today. Bike was riding fine but then when freewheeling downhill I noticed the speedo said zero mph. I stopped and turned the display off/on and same thing again. Set off riding and could feel that the motor wasn't...

    Shimano XT rear mech snapped

    I have that exact same tools but I never find chain checkers to be accurate, It showed 0.25% wear on the brand new chain before I'd even ridden the bike.

    Shimano XT rear mech snapped

    Thankfully, a few weeks after doing the repair the bike is riding really well again. I had to twist the rear derailleur back into shape slightly with some pliers as the chain was catching on it. Initially it was fuming a couple of gears when changing down from 5th to 4th gear, but a half turn of...

    Magicshine Eagle F3 front light

    Their Eagle lights seem to be out of stock everywhere but the MJ908 looks good. I like the battery level display feature and how it tells you which brightness mode you’re in. Expensive but I might buy one.

    Cassette fitting lube?

    I didn't even notice one to be fair. Is it possible to fit sprockets back to front, e.g. the outer face facing inwards??
