I have 2 version of the manual, the one linked above and a paper version that came with the bike. They are actually different and both are incomplete at best and wrong at some points. The one linked above here has the battery in the wrong place for example. One of the most tricky parts of the bike, the brake line and Di2 cable routing through the fork is not correct or missing all together.

There’s a rubbery part I havent figured out where to put yet. I’m assuming it’s part of the hydration system that I haven’t placed yet, but it’s mentioned nowhere in the manual.

Riding the bike since quite some time now and think I know most about it.
Which rubbery part are you talking about? Originally the battery was sitting behind the BB. There is a small plastic cover under the BB where it perfectly sits in. However there is the option to put the battery into the seatpost now (as shown in the new manual linked above). This would save some space in the BB area e.g. for a co2 to be put in the area where the battery used to be.
The rubbery part you mention might be the clamp you need for putting the battery into the seatpost?!

I indeed put it in the compartment behind the bb. The rubber might fit in the seatpost, I should try if that works. Having said that, it’s not indicated clearly in the manual.

Thanks. Can you use that Profile Design RM10 with a Xlab Delta 400 cage?

I’ve got that coming and the aero pouch as well.

What are you doing for down tube bottle holder, on frame?

BTA - not going with the current default setup?

You can fit any cage to the RM10. So there shouldn’tā€˜ be any problem.

On the down tube I have a normal cage and a normal bottle for training. For racing I will take that away and likely leave it blank. The downt tube has very slim dimensions. So an aero bottle like Elite Chrono or similar would be to thick. For iron-distance races I will probably use also the in frame bladder.

Today I strapped the XLAB Versa base plate with a standard cage to my base bars. That was my go to solution on my old Canyon for BTA bottle. It really worked fine for racing. You can just grab any bottle at the aid station and just push it in.

But in the future I probably will do this a little bit more sophisticated…


You think too thick for the down tube?

I couldn’t find any dimensions of the XLAB bottle on their website. The down tube of the Aerium is 14mm wide in the area where the bottle cage will sit. So the cage and bottle shouldn’t ideally be no wider than that.

Sorry about that - we will make sure to get this added!
At the widest part it is 4.5 cm

Bit of a red alert, the above how I got the bike from builder. Testing the valve now and it’s missing the drink valve, or connectors or something?

How in the world would I get a spare? Or what the product exactly is?

I went and got a CamelBak big bite valve but doesn’t work. :thinking:

Anyone got a photo of what it actually looks like?

You don`t really need that connector. You can cut the hose to the length you need. Put item 7 on one end (which you put into the bladder) and put the drinking valve (5 or 6) into the other end.
I“ve always used a cup of hot water and dipped the end of the hose in for a few seconds before I installed the valve or connector. Makes it easier to get it in completely.

Does anyone happen to have a spare magnetic stem cap, or know where it’s possible to buy them?

If I don’t have the items 5, 6, 7? (Box at home). Race in a few days.

What would the options be? :thinking:

Cut the house sqc connector off and go straight to big bite valve?

Success :sweat_smile::rofl:

Is anyone using a Tacx Neo 2T trainer and can tell me if the Cube Aerium c68x is compatible with it or if there are any problems or things to consider?

Wahoo Kickr Move and climb, no problems with the proper adapter on there.

Hi everyone, I’m considering buying one. A guy offered to sell me his, but it’s a size M. I’m 1m75 and according to Cube I’m between two sizes, S and M, so I’m hesitating. I saw someone in the discussion saying he has an M and he’s also 1m75 like me. Do you have any thoughts on which size would be better for me?

Thanks a lot for the advice! I can get the M one for a really good price, so I really hope it could work for me.

Same question for me with my 174 centimeters (finally i have buy speedmax slx)

For me due to the stack (630 at max for size S, i have ā€œcomfy/neutral positionā€ and long reach) size M is better with my 635mm armpad stack, size S with high handlebar can also work too.

As i have pretty long position reach of size is also nicer.
