    Cube Reaction Pro 5000km

    Finally broke through... Tried to just swap out my chain after 4000+ km. Didn't work out... Had to get a new cluster AND the front gear ring. Which, was way out of round. Not sure if changing chain sooner would help. Got some good mileage out of the original drive train regardless

    Cube Reaction Pro upgrade plus costs

    Just finished getting the Fox Evolution fork upgrade onto the bike. Pretty much all the components that made this upgrade possible turn out to be Giant parts or compatible. The Fork came off a giant Giant frame. Guy needed some cash I guess BUT... Giant has a lot of proprietary part sizing, of...

    Comfortable handlebar options.

    I bought an adjustable stem online. Seems to be better than the stock unit. Still not 100%

    First Aid Kit

    I used to be in industrial first aid. Easiest thing to carry is a roll of tape (black electrical or a partial of duct tape) and either TP or gauze. The tape is good for real bleeders that require direct pressure for a short period of time. Tea Tree oil is great for healing when you get off the...

    Picked up a 2018 Reaction Hybrid Pro Race

    Pretty much got the rig sorted now... Ergo grips and fenders. Oh and, an adjustable stem. Suntour fork isn't very good though... Dicking PSI for better ride.

    "Riders of ebikes AND regular bikes--I have some questions for you!"

    Same sort of situation with me. Been riding (pedal) mt bikes since the mid 80s (I am mid 50s). Bought a hardtail Cube Reaction, love it. Climbing hills is not a problem anymore. 'expensive'? yes. This is my first EMTB. Won't be my last, for sure.
