Cube Bikes Deals & Offers

Just put in Cube carbon frame issues in google to see quite a few complaints but I guess not uncommon for carbon but the company response was less than stellar on many occasions. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cube+carbon+frame+issues&rlz=1C1PRFE_enGB707GB707&oq=cube+carbon+frame+issues&aqs=chrome..69i57.3945j1j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Any idea who makes the frames, information doesn't seem to be available by googling except for made in the far east. Does your frame have a 'made in taiwan' or 'made in china' sticker or anything like that? I'm quite curious about where brands manufacture their frames but I think Cube is independent. Many European brands are owned by Accell I think who heavily use fuji-ta in China for frames but don't know much about cube.

I got the 2017 version of this... far superior spec. Everything is different bat the frame and carbon forks, which I can't fault. Absorbe's the bumps very well... and the 12mm thru axle front and rear make it nice a stiff.

Any details on this? I've got a carbon Agree from a few years ago, and it's been an absolutely brilliant bike. The frame has never had any bother, not even from the press fit BB. Fast, light, stiff.... Not sure what more I could get at the price point I paid. I had an aluminium Peloton a few years before that and it was a brilliant alu frame. light, but the seat stays were super thin for a bit of flex. I'd put Cube near the top of my shopping list on past experience. The only thing holding this bike back is the average groupset / brakes...

That's how it works though isn't it. Brands have to compete in sporting events to create brand desire and do sponsorship and those extra costs are then added to the cost of every bike. It is well known that Cube frames are made in the far east but just wondered who is the actual manufacturer at the moment. You can find it for Canyon who are Giant for their aluminium frames but Quest Composites for their carbon frames although I guess this can change at any moment if they move to a different manufacturer. I could be wrong but I believe Canyon used to use Giant for their carbon frames before moving to Quest Composites. It's hard to know the quality of a frame when either the company is basically an importer or they may have different models or even batches made by different frame manufacturers. I personally don't do brands unless the brand and the manufacturer is the same. If I don't know the manufacturer I just weigh up the components I'm getting to the overall price charged. Cube don't have a great customer service reputation and the bikes are merely assembled in Germany from far eastern parts and so in my opinion should be judged on what you are actually getting for your money. I'm not interested in paying money for sponsoring their tour de france efforts especially as there is probably no connection at all between those bikes and these entry level bikes.

I didn't see Calibre in the Tour De France this year though? Cube are a well respected German brand with great reviews. My OH has a Cube Litening carbon bike and often does etapes and 120 mile rides on it and says its the best bike he has had / owned.

Thanks for this. Just ordered for my sons birthdays :-) Clear18 doesn't work, but they had £10 off for new customers so only £170!

I have a Cube mountain bike myself and I love it, but while buying a bike for your kid, please keep in mind this particular bike in this deal is not a proper mountain bike.

Cube bikes are great. I always go with a Cube or a Boardman for a bike with a decent spec (at a very reasonable price) that will last well. I've had a good few of each down the years but then I've always had two or three bikes or the go at once.

That is perhaps true. People don't realise that even assembling a pre-built bike isn't going to be the same as clipping a stand onto a new telly and shops aren't always entirely clear what is to be expected from the consumer. A lot of bike shops will now do a fixed-charge "online bike purchase setup", accepting that people will want to buy bikes online, but may need help. Typically, this is around £40, although will vary shop-by-shop and depending on how modern they are - I'd probably check before you turn up with the box in case they are mortally offended by the concept!

They need to describe their products precisely then.

Rusted I can't comment on, but most road bikes turn up as a pile of bits and need a fair bit of assembly to get back to looking like a bike. I bought one (a fair bit more expensive than this) and it needed a full hour of work to build, including careful torque settings for key fasteners and some bits that need to be setup correctly and can't be just mashed together (e.g. headset preload). It's nothing too difficult to do, of course, but bike shops do still exist for a reason and it's part of the service they offer. If you're happy to receive a jigsaw-in-a-box to save some money, that's great, but this is the price you pay.

Yep I have the cube guards and they aren’t great. Coverage is weak and also the front has started to rattle and I am struggling to quieten it down. ;(

As a newbie always pay for a better groupset. 105 ideally. Carbon frame you are right is a bit of a luxury.

Bought - and it's the cheapest in the series of this game at this price. Well spotted :-) (highfive)

I love it and very well reviewed 😁

This any good?

Great

I was looking on eBay too but couldn't tell if anything was good or not! With no reviews it's really hard, next stock this brand so hopefully if would last a while out side

I bought a set of eBay last week in the 20% off started at £274 and got it for £219 delivered really good set 9 piece with footstools and cushions and lift up back supports
