Readers Rides needs more ‘flamboyant’ rider and bike shots 😀
Were the Pinnd cranks an easy fit, no clearance or fit issues? If I were to get some shorter ebike cranks it’d be between them and Hope

The BTS.
We were all a little overstimulated I think, it was a cracking day's riding. 😂
Very few things top a good day on the bike with mates I reckon.

Nope. They're for the Gen 5 Bosch so bolted straight on. I have Hope on my Slayer so thought I'd try something different, very happy with my decision.
I have one of these in swimming pool blue and it is epic. So much fun going down, it’s bonkers. I have a love for very high rise bars, so 80 mm for me, 38 PE forks and I’ve kept the Suntour shock, which surprisingly, I’ve found to be spot on after getting the set up right; probably better than my Fox Performance Elite and Formula Coil (which I do love!) on other bikes. I need to up my adventurous picture game 😆
I actually think Cubes quality control is brilliant, or maybe Trailhead just sorted any issues when they built and checked it?!?

That's the key, a decent bike shop makes all the difference. There was a little delay in being getting the bike because the shop had to spend a little more time lubing and torquing bolts.
That's so much better looking than Mrs a11y's Cube eMTB - a Stereo Hybrid 140 thing. Straight tubes just look better than curvy for the sake of it.
Apart from the weight, I'm impressed with her Cube - no issues with quality control here.

Ah she got the older shape, like the Meridas? Yeah, they look kinda odd, especially with oversize tubes.
The lack of lube seems to be quite a common complaint, anecdotal of course, but a few of the Cube groups on FB have this as a repetitive issue.
I'm more than happy with the bike, with th eonly exception being the Acros integrated cable routed headset. I've not had to give a headset some much attention. ICR is the work of the devil.

Yes, isn’t the headset a thing of wonderment and beauty 🤣

Yep. It's the 'Privateer' style hump in the TT just behind the HT - just bleugh. It does then give it a nice straight transition from TT to SS though.
And Acros thru headset is a double whammy: Acros = pish, thru headset = double pish 😀
