DoodMoeg Posted April 7, 2015 Share Had my Cube SHPC Race 29er for just over a year. brilliant bike. I replaced the saddle (sella anatomica), handlebar (riser) & stem. Mike from Mike's Bikes is busy sorting me out with a new wheelset. The old dt swiss set buckled after a coming together with a motorbike on a single track this past Sunday.Luckily the frame (and I) are undamaged. Will see about the fork once the new wheels arrive. I usually carry 4 water bottles on long rides. 2 on the frame + 2 on a seat post bracket.The 2 seat post bottles are always put in the feeezer overnight so they're nice 'n chilled around the 30-50km mark. The bikes now done 4500-odd km without a hassle.Couple of scratches here & there but nothing to cry about. Will buy a CUBE again for sure. Regards from a very wet Congo.H.

DoodMoeg Posted April 8, 2015 Share Well, my 26er mates who've ridden it all remark about the handling. With the front & back locked you'd be forgiven for thinking you're riding a hard tail, especially while climbing. This thing climbs like a caterpiller.It does however come into its own while doing extended high speed XC rides. very comfy & secure at speed. As for reliability, so far so good.nothing broke, just the usual maintenance items & upgrades. I replaced the chain & 2 smaller front rings around 3500km. The rocket rons & racing ralphs were great tyres initially but they don't last very long at all, at least not for me. Now on mountain kings. I replaced brake pads once. Other than that I also have a ring-ring bell and two chinese lanterns for night rides. (amazon.com, SecurityIng 3600lumens jobbies that turn night into day) Hope it helps.

Pikey Posted April 16, 2015 Share Seriously considering buying this. Do all these 50+ km races on a 15kg trail bike. Need something lighter: Cube AMS 100 Super HPC Race 29er (2015) - Blackline - 11.65kg Where can I test ride 1 in Jhb? Evobikes have it for R42000 http://www.cube.eu/media_ftp/BIKE_Bilder_2015/652300/652300_light.jpgi had a 2013 or 14 model not sure but was an ams ( pics few pages back) 100 black line. All I can say I have never ridden a faster more responsive bike. If you want a fast bike,that is it for sure. Robodog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
