New Cube 29ers


Whatsup!

Recommended Posts

Super stoked. Just put my name on the waiting list for the new Cube Reactions 29 GTC SL.

 

What are your thoughts?

Geometry on the bike looks awesome. It has a standard 26" wheelbase, seat tube angle and fork angle!

It is hard to believe it is the same wheelbase and your shoe wouldn't touch. How did they manage to squeeze an extra 3 inches inside the wheelbase?

Not sure how they did it but I suppose thats German engineering.

I know there is a new Cube design of mounting the front derailer, giving extra space and clearance.

Clever b@stards

They must have some really crappy 26' geometry because the geometry on their 29ers are pretty standard,even a bit longer than giant and specialized. :blink:

I think I should maybe start a new thread.

What tubeless kits work best for 29ers

If you go the getto option of a bmx tire, will it still work on a 29er?

This thing has got that same G2 geometry as the Gary Fishers, so its got a G2 fork, which I don`t like, then I saw the new Merida Big 9s coming out, much better value and tops the Cube on my shopping list.

I test rode the Cube Acid 29er at Rietvlei and the geometry to awesome. The Agile Ride Geometry really does make a massive difference. After that I was sold on a Cube, beside the looks and the quality.

Cant wait to collect this afternoon.

 

Any recomendations on 29er tubeless kits. Which works best?
