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.

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

Can you post the link pleas

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

Had a storage cube with 6 compartments for ￡20 in B&M

I've had these for wall mounting in the past; they are "ok", but if I wanted something on the floor, I would pay the extra for the Ikea Kallax 2x2 (77cm x 77cm x 30cm); £25 in white - a bit more in other colours.

Sorry, homebase is 76x76, so bit bigger. Heat anyway

Was looking at these in homebase this morning, reduced to £19.

Brill thanks

Nope, just not pretending that it will be glitchy as hell ;

>>concerned about stability >>claiming technical know-how >>uses microsoft edge choose one.

Just let them be mad, probably just chewing time, as they wait for their PUBG textures to load from their raggedy 80GB IDE drive (excited)

Are we now pretending that pc with a SSD is generally the same speed as the same PC with a HDD?

Do you work for Currys by any chance? Sounds like the nonsense some of the sales guys spout.

Currently @ the entertainer for £11.66 with free c&c

Taiwan is not China...

Well, ignorance or not wanting to know comes into play with Cube bikes. I have had a spin on my neighbour's Cube MB but he gets an allowance for bikes so picks what he likes best. We got talking and I didn't even know Cube was German. Although that is not strictly correct. He told me that 'the bikes are actually manufactured in Taiwan and then assembled in Germany.' If that's true it doesn't surprise me, so not German at all. China rules big time now.

Good luck to anyone who places an order. Ordered the Cube Attention and had my order cancelled (not a payment issue, they dispatched another order placed at the same time, and money was taken from my account and has now been returned) and the bike's still listed as being available now. And no phone customer service on Mondays (Tues-Fri only...)

You demonstrate your ignorance well, dear sir. Now go and crawl back under a bridge.

What a ridiculous price for a ruddy push bike!! You could buy a motor for less!

Nice find @mahe0217 - thanks for sharing :)

Out of stock

Thank you, ordered

Worked great thank you

That all worked for me, Cheers

Frame Size50cm (19.75") left that sounds like the smallest one?

Yes you’re right. But personally I’d want the ones that fit into the cube fitting mounts. I actually emailed Cube and they said the “proper” attain mudguards should be available at the end of the month.

Crud Catcher MK3 fit nicely (velcro)

Got this bike (Cycle Surgery price match) a few weeks ago before seeing this and it’s excellent. Mind the mudguard mounts are non standard and the Cube ones cannot be found anywhere due to a recall.

Thanks OP, that's useful

"Four child-proof sockets" - just like any other sockets.

You shouldn’t need to - the 13A fuse in this device protects this device and this device only. It should also have another smaller fuse inside protecting the USB power supplies, and anything you plug in will have its own fuse to protect itself also.

13 Amp - but change it for a lower one (eg 3A, 5A) if only using low-draw items.

1.4m cable is pretty mean - probably can't be changed either?

Guess it'll depend what you are putting on the sockets. Both the usb together draw maximum of 24W less than old school desk lamp. Think 12 amp fuse would go in plug long before you need to worry about wiring.

Code has expired

Code expired? Anyone else have this problem

I don’t need this. Useless junk! Ordered one thanks op (annoyed)

Thanks so much I have an autistic child and the fidget spinner was her fav so this will go down well

available in chester sainsbury

Can't find stock anywhere near me.

Worked well till today, GPU died. :(

Ive been out of the PC game for sooo long I'm well out of touch. I got my one of these delivered yesterday. Not looked at it yet but I'm already thinking if I can upgrade the CPU to an i7 :) is this possible? Also for those of you who have theirs is it a clean OS install or full of bloatware? Ive an SSD here im probably going to put in with a fresh OS install but I might clone the drive if its no too bad.

Lol. Ikr.

1440P runs perfectly on a 1070 - no problems on anything here at that res.

How about a 2k monitor then joe? Any reco from this lot? https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/nav/pt/monitors/pntygrp/ips/mc/tvs-projectors-and-monitors/screenband/26–28/monresgro/2k-1440p?sortOrder=1

I didn't know you were permitted to do that (highfive)

Do not use if you go through TCB or Quidco as it will probably invalidate your cashback..

I almost bought this on C2W but Rutland add 11% to sale bikes, so decided it wasn’t worth it for commuting - the alloy frame SL disc with same groupset was better value for £900!

I’ve just bought the attain SL disc (same geometry). I’m 6’3” and 58cm was right for me. I’d recommend going to a shop to sit on one

So glad my size has sold out. RS505 is not a great set of brakes. I think I'd rather have a top end set of mechanical disc brakes for the easiest of maintenance and setup. Dont know what the tyre clearance is on these. Doesn't look like much. Would be nice to be able to run 42mm on a 650b wheel. Would make it a truly universal bike.

(lol) (lol) (lol)

My local doctors has removed all the kids toys in a bid to stop the spread of infections :/

DrJayDee86 These things are always available on Gumtree for £5-10, save your money Another ingrate for the ignored-list. Thanks for making yourself known.

Yeh that's what I was thinkin, no other reason for it to stop!! Think the hospital still has a small kids room full of toys n books!! I should lend him my phone, in the right place if he drops it (lol)

Probably turn out to be "for Heath and Safety" reasons. My local used to have toys and books in the waiting room, now the toys are in the consulting rooms and there is nothing for the children waiting; so I always take something for my daughter to do, a book, games on a phone etc.
