    Cube Stereo HPC 650b 160mm

    UPDATE: the 2014 ROCKSHOX MONARCH PLUS RC3 does NOT work on the 2013 Cube Stereo. When the rear shock is about 85-90% compressed the piggyback reservoir will hit the top of the downtube. So if you are thinking it will fit and work, you are wrong, save yourself $500 and figure out another...

    I must say that is correct. When I got my Undead, gently used, it had some play in the linkage but has not developed anymore since and I have had it since last June. As for durability, I had a fairly gnarly crash at Bootleg Canyon and surprisingly there was not a scratch anywhere, that i could...

    Cube Stereo HPC 650b 160mm

    FOUND IT (image below) if anyone else is looking for Cube Stereo Leverage Ratio, it appears to be fairly linear and a bit progressive to the end which seems obvious enough given its design. The main reason I was searching is to narrow down what tune is needed for the RS Monarch Plus RT3...

    Cube Stereo HPC 650b 160mm

    So I ran the Stereo with Pikes at Bootleg Canyon in NV this weekend. Let me tell you, that course is some of the most gnarly and unforgiving terrain out there. The Pike was un-freaking-believable. The rear Fox shock was way over matched for my hard style riding and terrain out there, and the...

    @Lighthowler - I had no luck getting the spherical bearings out, and I have tried and tried and trieddddd. I know they need replacing too, they barely roll over. Any thoughts? I have a new set of the enduro bearings just sitting there.

    Cube Stereo HPC 650b 160mm

    Great info on the CCDB Air, I was about to make the purchase, that does suck that it will not fit though, bummer! What about if you put the resevoir up top, by the rocker link? Did you try that? Looks like its back to either the Float X or the BOS Kirk. I imagine both will fit since theyre...

    ahh, yea I thought about it, the e13's weighed about 100+ grams less than the saints but if I knew I would have had the complicated install then I wouldve gone with the saints.

    Cube Stereo HPC 650b 160mm

    So I have looked and looked and not really found a thread on here for the Cube Stereo HPC SL 2013, which is what I have. So I figured I would start one and it could be any general discussions about the Cube Stereo. I have had alot of issues with components on the bike (i only purchased the...

    LG1R crank install issues

    I actually ended up putting an additional thick black plastic spacer on the non drive side BB too. The instructions said only 1 on the drive side but that obviously didnt work. It SEEMS to work now, only time will tell

    LG1R crank install issues

    It seems these were over complicated, should just be able to throw them in and BAM they work, but you have these metal spacers and shizz...

    Does anyone with an evil have the e13 lg1r crank installed? I just purchased and installed and mine seems to be a bit loose. I added one black plastic spacer to the drive side, as per instructions, the metal spring washer and one plastic washer on non-drive side. Am I missing anything?

    LG1R crank install issues

    I just bought the 170mm lg1r cranks for my evil undead, i also purchase the 83mm TiNi e13 bb. The spindle is the 123mm and not the 113mm so I know that is not the issue. I installed as per the instructions. Greased the threads for the BB. Since it was 83mm I put one black plastic spacer...

    Evil Undead

    Any thoughts on the Evil as a DH Race bike? Or should I sell and get a (fill in the blank with good race bike) to race? Also, I have seen pics with the shock installed both ways, the reservoir up and down, any benefits/problems with either way, is there a "correct" way? Thanks! I will also...

    @dude! - thanks for uploading the pics on here man, much appreciated! I have popped on my rs vivid air the opposite way and the bike rides a bit differently but that is not to say it is worse. Any benefits or complications of orientating the rear shock on one way or the other? Also, I have...

    What is chuffed? I had a decal kit on my undead, didnt like it too much, plus it started peeling after a week of which was only one half day of riding. I peeled them off, $80 worth of stickers, and the bike looks so sick with none on there. @Dude, would you mind sending or posting the...

    I got some new bearings in as well, for the DELTA link and Flip Chips. BUT when I tried to remove the old spherical bearings it was impossible to get out, I still have yet to find a way to get them out, I thought they were permanent until I spoke with Kevin about it. Any ideas?
