    Slight creak Bosch CX on Cube

    I didn't realise that, I thought it voided it. Still, whilst its under warranty I may as well get the bike shop to do it.

    Slight creak Bosch CX on Cube

    So if the creaking was left unchecked, would there be any serious consequences such as parts wearing or failing ? Mine needs to go back to the bike shop again for this to be repaired as I can't take the cover off myself as its under warranty. But I can't get it to the bike shop for a few weeks...

    Speed sensor broken

    Thanks. With my ebike being under warranty I can't remove the cover, so it will have to be a job for the bike shop. But I can probably live with it as it is for now, with a bit of gaffer tape!

    Speed sensor broken

    Interesting, thanks. And cheaper than i expected. Anyone know how the cable is removed from the display? And is routing a new cable through the frame straight forward? Maybe tie it to the old cable and pull it through?

    Speed sensor broken

    My speed sensor (if thats what its called) has broken away from its mounting screw. Not sure if its been yanked off its when riding off road? Its still being held on by the screw, but not for long. You can see in these photos that the hole is now enlarged where the fixing screw goes through...

    Who's to blame?

    I'd deal with the bike owner directly, i wouldn't involve my employer at all. If the bike owner refused to cough up then he might keep getting punctures for the next year or two. The punctures wold be purely coincidental, and nothing to do with me :D Of course it depends on the dynamics of the...

    Who's to blame?

    I would say its your fault. Other workers shouldn't have to work around or make allowances for a pushbike in the office. I understand why its in the office, but I would say that as soon as something like this happens then its your fault for putting a bike where it perhaps shouldn't really be...

    Slight creak Bosch CX on Cube

    True, but the bike shops probably ad the updates without customers even knowing.

    Slight creak Bosch CX on Cube

    Interesting. I wasn't aware of the update. My 2018 Cube Reaction Race went into the bike shop for the creaking to be looked at. Since getting it back I have noticed the drag, but was scratching my head as to why. I kept checking my rear tyre thinking it must be flat. What does the update...

    De-restricted Chain Slip...

    My chain started slipping recently and when inspecting the cassette I noticed some of the teeth had completely rounded off. I guess I had let my chain stretch too far, causing the teeth to round off? Now had a new cassette & chain fitted and all is well.

    Slight creak Bosch CX on Cube

    Collected my bike today, which sadly means they haven't kept it to order a new motor! They said they have lubricated inside the motor but didn't elaborate further. New cassette and chain fitted £108. I perhaps need to lear to do this myself from now on, from the videos I've watched it doesn't...

    Slight creak Bosch CX on Cube

    Yes, its still under warranty, so maybe just a tightening of the bolts as you suggest. Also had a new chain and cassette fitted as mine was well overdue. I left the chain too long and it has rounded off some of the teeth on the cassette after about 700 miles from new. Lesson learnt.

    Slight creak Bosch CX on Cube

    My Cube Reaction Race with Bosch CX is intermittently creaking on the left down stroke. I took it to the bike shop os Saturday and they have just called me today to say its ready for collection. I was rather hoping they would send the motor back to Bosch, who in turn would replace it with a new...

    Switched to Haibike SduroTrekking

    Im getting about 30 miles to a full charge on my Bosch 50w battery. About 40% of that is cycling up steep hills, another 40%coasting down the same hills, and the remainder on flat ground. I have a dongle fitted and when riding on flat ground I'm usually always going above 15mph.

    Switched to Haibike SduroTrekking

    Dongles are devices that you can fit to certain ebikes that fool the computer into providing power beyond the 15mph standard cut off limit. They are worth their weight in gold for me. https://www.badassebikes.com/en/

    Terminal Grease???

    But for the battery connections, wouldn't dielectric grease be better than just silicone crease? The problem being, add the word dielectric to any grease and the price more than triples.
