Looks bloody rapid

PiranhaXC

Yeaa... It´s realy fast and agile. Nice feeling to ride!
But i think, a bit to heavy. I am planing to get some 1350gr wheels, need to instal tubeless, handlebars are 740mm, i need to cut it to 700mm. Maybe another seat, this one is 220gr, and i dont like it :P
However its a little bit more work to do.

I think you need to start with some appropriate pedals

Heheh i know those are pic from first day when i bought it. Now i am using CrankBrothers Eggbeater 3.

But what is good bike without a good Legs ? Nothing right?
Last year on my old bike i hit about 3.5 K˙s. Not too much becouse of shitty Sommer.
Over the winter i hit 1.5K˙s interval trenings on my Rollertrainer.
And ofc I also hit the gym twice a weak, doing upper body,back and legs realy hard.
Well this is result:


My body fatt is 7.2% atm. trying to get it under 6%.

Today apsolute mud.
But nice. Last week was bad ass storm and every 100m is tree on floor!
So i was more by Pushing my bike then riding.




I am selling my old bike. Then i would like to buy new wheels and instal tubeless. I hope my bike is then under 10kg.

PiranhaXC

New tire on the back
Continental X-King 2.2
Its a bit thinner then Schwalbe Thunder Burt, but is way much more grip on mud.

Tomorrow i am planing do some BIG ride in Fussen. (I am working in Germany atm)
Some 80-90 km and over 1500 m elevation
I am so excited.

Was there not another thread about posting leg pictues being inappropriate?

Those legs are crazy

Did you have to resurrect the thread for that?!

Have you got the wheels yet OP? What did you go for at 1350g, that's tickling 'ultra light' for 29er clinchers!

This thread needs a warning. Especially with those veins.

Hey

Amazing bicycle. I am looking to buy that one too and since I am doing my research now, I am wondering if it would be possible to install a drop post with inner cable routed inside seat tube along to bb and then along brake hose up to handle bar ? Do you think that would be possible ? I know some cube frames have "stealth ready" technology, any chance you could help me find that out ?? Thanks!

Hi PiranhaXc

Awesome bike. Great to read your thoughts on it!

How's it still going?

I am thinking of buying this bike in the 21" version that you have. A lbr has one left in this size on sale. But I can't get there any time soon.

What is your height and inside leg?

My height is 181 cm and 85cm inside leg. So with the inside leg measurement on cube website I suit a 19.5 inch frame.

Do you think if I shortened the stem to 60-80mm I could make it fit?

Just want to find out how it fits you with your height and legs.

Cheer mate,
