Cube Hanzz Pro

What a day.
Finally got her :tup: very pleased, and what a bike. Totally different from the GT, the cockpit feels much smaller and the bottom bracket feels a lot higher that the GT; manifested in the cranks/pedals feeling 'higher' (like riding an R6 compared to a Bandit) and fook me those bars are hella wide :eek: they're gonna take some getting used to.
I was expecting a Saint crankset but more than happy with RF. I love the way it pedals, feels heavier than the GT of course but it's not as heavy as I was expecting, it's so stable. I've had it out on the tarmac only so far. It's typical I'm going away for 2 weeks with work I won't have a chance to ride for a fortnight :roll:
The Bicycle Doctor were great and Henry gave me a mass of heli tape so I'll be spending some time prepping it before it goes anywhere.
Thanks to Jeff and Henry @ TBD

8:30 tomorrow mate
Yea shall I just sack off my Basildon work project and hit the slopes with you
I'm very jealous anyways!
2 months till I get a "big rig" lol. Then i'll be back on the DH!
See what I want but its now where near as sexy as that!
personally i would put a chainguide on the front and run it with one ring and get a short cage mech, but thats just my opinion!
they really are lovely bikes 8)
FREE KONA KULA WIP
That could well be a future upgrade though depending on what I'm riding
Thanks for the thumbs up fella
One thing that struck me is how high the BB is compared to the GT. I was constantly smashing the crank arms in to the scenery on the GT, on the Hanzz I can keep pedalling and roll over the top of rocks etc, hasn't stopped me heli taping the tip of the cranks arms though
The Schwalbes are superb, massive, and confidence inspiring. I have however swapped them out for maxxpro HR 2.5 F + R to decrease RR. Ironically the 2.5 HR's look tiny on the Hanzz frame, those Schwalbes are suming else :shock:
I was a little dissapointed (in myself only) that I'm still landing front wheel heavy on table tops, a FR bike doesn't make a FR rider of course - I'll try to improve and get some more confidence in the air.
I got around CC yesterday in 1 hour 23. Not bad for the big old barge. I did cheat and go up the road to the crossing however, big bike + first ride in a month + in a rush (3 excuses - not bad
Bike looks even better with a bit of crud on it hehe!
Really looking for my "big rig" now to hit some more of the DH!
What you thinking for DH? Is there a short list
I've got one of these now:-
HERE
Its brilliant for getting muck off before it goes in the car!
Pretty much set on the Voltage now.... just depends if there are any left in a few months
Do you require both kidneys?
Just a thought
sweet dude I hope there are some when you come to buy. The adjustable geometry looks superb. Re life expectancy - who wants to life forever anyway
Might actually get one of those B&Q washy majigies. Actually I think I've got one in the garage :? hope so
Shorter stem bud.
Whats the length on there? 80/90mm? I'd be after a 50mm max and some wiiiiiiide bars!
You're not out tomorrow are you?
supposed to be going west wales but the weather looks shite!
You're gonna get piss wet through tomorrow morning hehe!
Enjoy anyways bud! Gutted I miss your beast of a bike again
No worries dude maybe next weekend
