Hi everyone
I thought id just show you my Cube Ltd Race.
was bought used, had hardly been used and stored indoors, so everything was in perfect condition.

im not to sure on the spec, but if anyone could help that would be great.

i have changed a few things which are
Avid elixir 5 Brake set.
Shimano Saint Pedals
Mavic cross-ride disc wheels, as the previous ones have shimano center lock rotors.

so here it is on a ride and at home.

    I'm pretty sure mine is a 2012. I couldn't stretch my budget to £1000 but nonetheless I enjoy this bike. Cube are a great make and their bikes are awesome.
  • I Like it!

    I think mine is a 2013? Bought it new in the sale end of 2012 for about £700 (so it would be a 2013 model?), but mine is full XT other than chainset + RockShox Rebas (26in).

    I love it, great on the climbs and I can just about hold on to the tail of slower full sussers. Done a race on it too which was a first.

    Only change so far are XT SPDs, next will be the chainset, I am finding triple overkill, really not sure if you consider a double, or go single. Does anyone know if these come with XT "clutch" type rear mechs, how can you tell if its a clutch type? Also am I right in thinking the shifters can be converted from triple to double with some sort of internal switch - or did I make this up? ;) - I think based on knowing this I would opt for Single or Double, I dont want to go mad on replacing too many parts.

    Took the bike out today did a mixture of cross country and trail. So far it has handled like a dream. So responsive and great to ride. Getting the miles under my belt. Ready for the new wiggle devils mtb.

    Just some pictures to show off.

    Have had a great weekend cycling the South Downs. Pretty wet considering the nice warm weather.
    Just an update.
    I found some center lock hub adapters so I can run six bolt rotors. I converted these rims to run tubless. And so far it's been great.

    I used the stans no tubes kit. Pretty easy to do.

    I have also found a specs list. So will do that later.

    Here are a few pics of the bike as it is now.
