- Somewhere wet & hilly in NW England.
I'm liking the look of this as a contender for my next bike.

Seems to be extremely sharply priced albeit not available until April-ish - not a problem for me even if that over-runs a fair bit.
Cube Germany are giving the max' tyre size as 28mm with 'guards and 33mm without - the latter is one reason why this bike appeals as an alternative to another CX. Plus the low gearing is very low too.
One question though. I've never had a bike with internal cable routing and I have read of some bikes rattling with such a routing - this would drive me nuts tbh. I can see that the RD/FD cables being under tension would not rattle but how is a full length hydraulic hose rattle-proofed within the tube?
A couple of other bikes I have looked at have the RD/FD cables internally routed and the hydraulic hose externally inc' Cubes own CX disc bikes. These are also options for me.
I'm probably over thinking this but hey-ho.
