Here I would like to introduce my bike to which I have been waiting for 8 months.
Also I would like to tell why I chose exactly this bike.
My bike is a **CUBE STEREO 140 HPC TM 27.5**
I saw this bike for the first time at Cube's in-house 2017, and was in love right away.
Also it fit directly into my booty scheme as I had specifically searched for an all-mountain / light enduro.
I wanted an all-purpose weapon, with which I can drive a bit coarser terrain.
In addition Cube is still affordable from the prices. My previous bike was a Nicolai Ion 16, also a cool bike - but it was more of an enduro / freerider and only partially suitable for touring.
As the main frame of the cube is made of carbon, and the aluminum rear triangle, the bike is even extremely light.
With the equipment I put special value on a 1x drive.
I am more than satisfied with the SRAM GX Eagle, extremely precise and a crisp pressure point.
After initial problems with the rubbing front brake of the built-in "Sram Code R" I got warm with this, after retracting it has now become a real anchor.
So far, I was more of a Magura fan, but the brake has convinced me so far. What I do not like is that this brake DOT needed, that is still a blatant disadvantage for me.
Why not all manufacturers still rely on mineral oil remains a mystery to me.
To the FOX elements you probably do not need to say much, the suspension fork is a bit firmer than comparable forks on All-Mountain bikes. But it is because this fork is more for the coarser terrain.
The damper, however, is a bit too soft for me now, I have to fill some air, but the damping is amazing. The rear wheel is stuck to the ground.
The FOX Transfer Seatpost does what it should, with the Kaschima Coating you can adjust the length of the support. I can not imagine a bicycle without a telescope seat post.
Newmen Evolution SL A wheels are installed in the wheel, no comparison to the wheels I had installed on my Nicolai. Super stiff, super wide. Make something visually neat! What bothers me a bit so far is the relatively loud freewheel, but according to various forums with the time to lay something.
The tires will change soon, the installed OEM tires from Schwalbe are simply bad. These wobble like crazy, and I think every time I have a strong eight in the front wheel.
I'll trade soon for Continental.
I have already exchanged the handles, I have always relied on the company Ergon, I have installed the new GA3. The saddle I will try on a longer tour, should my current problems then I'll look at me at times SQLab. In August I'm on vacation, then there is a longer tour.
I would also like to see some cities like Hamburg, Berlin or Munich - let's see.
Until then, my new video equipment should be there, then we start with videos. I would also like to have IRL streams, but unfortunately there is still no way with the iPhone on @dlive to stream.
Here is a german Video about my Bike:
