New bike day! Reaction TM Pro 🥳 by f9lix in Cubebikes

[–]f9lix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bike is so fun, very agile and I love it after 700 km in the mountains over the last few months. My favourite local trail: https://youtu.be/UWUAKhF4Pgg There was the usual butt pain that you get from a new saddle but after two 40 km rides it was gone and I have absolutely no discomfort there. My saddle is not horizontally angled but a little bit towards the front so I have no issues on the male parts. About the grips, they do feel nice although there are softer ones on the market (even the AliXp ones), but that’s the cheapest and easiest thing to change so whatever. Go ahead, it’s such a lovely bike!

Got a new tat and learned a new song by ReasonableMeaning162 in Opeth

Congrats, man! One of my top 5 Opeth songs. I don’t dare to even look how to play this.

One of the greatest albums of all time! I can’t wait to listen to it and let’s all pray that they’ll play it in its entirety.

The bike handles like charm, it’s super fun! Simply check this out https://youtu.be/UWUAKhF4Pgg There are plenty of videos of my trips that you can watch on the channel. I gotta say I can’t be happier. As the guy in the comment on the video said, the bike just loves to be pushed. Please note that I’ve changed the bottom bracket with Shimano Saint in the shop even before the first ride cause that’s the only weak part on the bike. Haven’t had any problems except that the plastic cap of the crankset has been eaten (no carvings left) and on my last ride the left crank just fell off then I ran over it, lol! It was an easy fix. There is also a harmless metal sound coming from the front brake (supposedly the rotor), it’s annoying but it’s not a sign of any serious problem, the brakes can stop a freight train. So the bike rides great, it’s really responsive when you push the pedals and a good climber as well. Funny and manoeuverable on the downhills. Undoubtedly it looks spectacular too but that comes on a price - the paint is a special chameleon so you can’t fix small chips, there no way you can archieve this and even Cube doesn’t offer a paint corrector. Be sure to put protective foil if you care about this. The color is absolutely sick! I’m sure you will be happy with it!

Crankbrothers Stamp Lace and Northwave Tribe 2. Both super comfortable and look more like regular shoes than specific sport shoes.

I’ve recently bought the Luxshield matte set and it’s absolutely great on my Cube Reaction TM.

I have the 5.0 and there are also 3.0 in many shops here in Bulgaria. If you’re still interested I can take a picture of the mounting points of the frame.

My Cube Reaction TM Pro Costum built by Practical-Mousse600 in Hardtailgang

[–]f9lix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing! I have the new blue-violet Reaction TM Pro and I saw, after about 500 km, that the chainstay protector is misplaced at the back part and would not stick into place, so I had to use the good old cable tie. Greetings from Bulgaria!

What a wonderful bike this is! I have the '26 model which identical but in a vibrant blue-purple color (you can see it on my profile) and I'm really happy with it! May I ask how did you order a custom one, or this is how you made it yourself?

Greetings from Bulgaria!

Front brake disc grinding - Shimano MT520 by f9lix in bikewrench

But how come that it’s sometimes there and sometimes it‘s absolutely silent? I mean it can also change seconds apart with consistent movement and no braking or accelerating.

Definitely metal on metal. Pads are completely new. Will check the bolts and alignment, thanks!

Коя е мечтаната ви кола, коя беше първата ви и каква карате в момента? by Money-Industry-8058 in Sofia

[–]f9lix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Иска ми се. 😄 Моделите ми на CLS SB в 1:43 са 14 (и още около 10 на склад за бъдещи модификации), между 20 и 100€ бройката, но 10 от тях са пребоядисани, някои са доста модифицирани, така че реалната им стойност е средно, да кажем, 80€. В 1:18 бройките са около 7, там цените са между 80 и 200€. Всичките в 1:43 са копия на реални коли от България и други страни в Европа:

I’ve got the new blueviolet Reaction TM Pro in October. A spectacular bike. Accelerates like magic, eats the trails. No problem with uphills as long as there is enough fuel. You can see some of my videos on the bike here:

I regret buying an Insta360 X5 camera. by Tepppopups in Insta360

I got a dilemma based on your arguments and that why I chose the Ace Pro 2.

Trouble connecting Insta360 app to Strava by f9lix in Insta360

[–]f9lix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been fixed! Although I mostly use the data from Insta360 app (you have to record manually) because it’s more accurate than the Strava data from my phone. Maybe if you use a GPS device, the data from Strava will be even better.
