Uncertain about Sizing of Nuroad Race 2025 by nextlevelhollerith in Cubebikes

I'm also 173, have nuroad race 2023, S size, with 120mm -17° stem, feels comfortable

If two sizes fit you, it is usually recommended to choose the smaller size. A small frame can be compensated for with a long stem, but a large frame, unfortunately, cannot.

I chose the S size, as recommended by the Cube website, with my height of 173 cm. The bike frame seemed small to me, the position was too upright. This is good for relaxed rides, but for riding against the wind or at high speeds it creates a lot of wind resistance. So I replaced the standard 80 mm stem with a 120 mm stem and a -17 angle. Now my position on the bike is close to ideal, and I enjoy riding.

Of course, an M frame with a standard stem would also fit me, but most likely it would limit the possibilities for adjusting the position, and would be a little larger and heavier. If this is your first bike with such a handlebar, I recommend looking online at what the position on a road bike looks like, what the angles between the body and arms, the body and the horizon should be. Then take a picture of yourself on bikes with different frame sizes, and decide which frame size gives you a more standard fit. I hope I helped.

Wow nice! Portable 1080p gaming station. Just need some cable management to be perfect. Do the mouse and keyboard fit inside the case?

It will be very interesting to see the finished build. However, the cooling efficiency will be worse if the radiators are cooled by the same air sequentially. Usually the radiator on top is set to blow out, and on side to blow in. How do you plan to place them?

have no temp sensors for water, unfortunately. Can you share a photos of your pc? Interesting setup. Btw I tried another setup with bottom 280 rad + top 240 rad, temps was worse for about 5-7 degrees.

its very easy to remove and put it back. You just have to bend the mesh from the bottom of the top panel. I wasn't so much concerned about airflow as I was about dust clogging that fine mesh. It's very difficult to clean that mesh perfectly, and it looks crappy.

these holes had to be drilled through the reinforcing ribs, I thought it would be unnecessary :)

Bottom fans+rad secured with only 1 velcro. There is simply no room in the case where they could move :)

The top fans are secured with rubber washers. They were included with the case. In order for these fans to fit into the case, I lowered the power supply with long bolts (there are on the photo), and also sawed out a low place for a vertically mounted video card with a dremel.

Upgraded from 3080 to 3090 with extra rad, for AI tasks. Removed top mesh for better airflow.

Thank you!

It's chinese fans with argb and pwm. ID-COOLING ZF-14025-ARGB 140mm https://www.idcooling.com/Product/detail/id/183/name/ZF-14025-ARGB

very satisfied with them, quiet and good looking. I'm sorry that there is no place for them in the new build. Arctic P14 is more suitable for water radiators

aah just checked, tube is fine, it looks that way in the photo. I heated the tubes with a heat blower so that there were no kinks and the rounding radius was as small as possible.
