loving my cube...only issues ive had with mine is ...had to have new motor fitted as it started making a lot of noise, bosch just sent out a new one and just recently it stared making a horrible noise grinding noise from the rear which have now figured out the free hub is knackered and really loose...the warranty is being sorted as we speak but I managed to get a new rear freehub assembly and upgraded the rims to halo vapours(they look sweet) ...now just waiting for them to be built

You wouldn’t happen to know the part number of that rear hanger ? I’ve just purchased the same bike and agree it’s worth keeping a spare.

I'm up to 500km on mine now. Other than kiox syncing being a bit flaky and the paintwork being a bit susceptible to stone chips, it's so far so good.

Mine had rear hanger problems, they kept coming loose as well. The motor kicking in loosened it off as well. Had problems with the dropper slowing down as well. Tried adjusting on the cable tension, struggled to find a sweet spot often.

New hangers aren't always perfectly straight either. It might be worth investing in an alignment tool, they aren't very expensive and will save you paying for the bike shop having to fix it next time.

Helpful stuff dude. Do you think you hit the derailleur? My second ride: my Kiox reset itself, gears were spontaneously out of alignment, and both tyres got punctures. Not serious things, but frustrating second trip which I cut short. Now going tubeless, as apparently it's better. Coming from the DRZ world, I'm used to a work horse you can throw off a cliff and keeps working. These MTB things are made of moist tissue paper by comparison. :-D Re: dropper post - have you been learning about lubricating the shocks and dropper post? Apparently they're frequent maintenance items, so need cleaning/lubing regularly. .

Not sure of the legit rating, but I found myself believing this cheerful dude. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otuifNKb0d7ed5c.html I'm using gearbox oil on my chain, like I do on motorbikes. I think I'll use the same on the forks and dropper post. Possibly legit! (This is why I use gear oil btw - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNSAjMeUx8mllWQ.html )

after 2000 miles on mine, the motor packed in, got 3 different error codes on the screen error 510, 550 and 500 had to warranty claim. :( other than that I love mine a lot and my magura mt30 brake lever started leaking oil so had to get that replaced but that is about it.

I've got a cube acid hybrid pro 29er... The chain seems to be not sitting in the cogs, but on the other side, the brake disc is rubbing on the casing where the pads are... Could this be the hanger as you call it, causing this? Or could the wheel be bent?
@RealLifeGadgetReviews
@RealLifeGadgetReviews 4 жыл бұрын
For that I would have thought the wheel being bent would make no difference, surely it would have to be a bent axel? Which seems unlikely! I am no expert so cant tell you whats up with yours. But take a look at a derailleur setup video on youtube, make sure its all setup correctly then go from there.
