Hello new to the forum, recently upgraded from my 8 year old Gary fisher Hoo Koo E Koo still have in the fold, very pleased with the new ride was a bit dubious about carbon lol. bought it in september and done about 440 moles so far
I ride bridleway and trails round the barwick/garforth/crossgates areas near Leeds can easily put together a loop of 25 miles with very few roads involved

Only changes I have done so far is to change the schwalbe rapid robs to Michelin country muds however I really like how fast the rapids rolled they'll be back on in the drier weather, fitted Shimano M530 SPD Trail Pedal changed from normal spds.added a bontrager trip 5 computer and usual saddlebag with essential kit. oh and no a crud catcher kit im suprised how well they keep the mud off me.

Problem I came across early on was seat post creeping down which i knew not to over tighten then my lbs enlightened me about carbon build paste which cured my creeping problem.

Ive been trying to source replacement headset or bearings for when i need them but i am finding it hard to know what exact bearings are without removing them ( FSA Orbit I-T-R integrated ) it is a tapered heead so presuming its 1/18-1/5 Im making an effort to do all servicing myself.

also does anyone know what bb is fitted the spec on 2013 is a BB91-41 think will be same as frame not changed.

Cheers gonna get muddy later.Andy

Thanks qooqiiu it would have just been nice to have a brochure from the cube site.

Regarding bottom bracket have you changed one yourself? so the bb30 is a different bearing to the 2013. Im new to sizing of the press fit stuff

think ive may have cracked it bb30 is the frame size of bb and bb91 bearing have spacers to fit bb30 hole which also reduce spindle size to take xt spindle
How have you found the cube?

ps just seen your bike looks trick with wheels and carbon on 8)

Thanks Andy
