Done now and no going back.

I have finally ordered my Cube peloton triple from Chain Reaction.
I look forward to the big parcel coming now and better weather to try it out. I like the 12-32 cassette especially as this should make tackling hills a bit easier, I hope.
This is N+2 now and I really need to build my shed asap to keep them all together.

From Chain Reaction - I see they do it cheaper at Cyclesurgery..............just saying

The bike comes with 25mm Continental Ultra Sport 2 tyres. Are they any good ? I mean are they fairly puncture resistant?

 

[Drago]

I like them. Not had any puncture issues, but I only run them on one of my lesser used bikes.

There is no such thing as n+2, by the very nature that n = number of bikes already owned. Unless of course you order 2 at the same time.

Fair enough so I now have 3 decent road bikes, 1 cheap one for rollers and one old MTB that needs new brakes.

Nice! Good collection there.

I am trying hard to stick to 2, but there's always an idea on the 3rd in my head. Fighting the urge this weekend. Thinking of new wheels instead right now.

No the tyres are not designed to be puncture resistant,

Got an email from Chain Reaction today, bike on its way and should be here by Friday. I bought new spd-sl pedals, new bottle cage and bottle too so can't wait to fit it all and have a ride . I keep my fingers crossed for good weather.
My wife also want me to make a toy box for one of the grand kids too . Bought all the wood today but that was before the email.

Enjoy the new bike I have a Cube Peleton Race, Cube make some very nice bikes at very competitive prices hope the weather is ok for you

 

[vickster]

Did you remember to track through quidco for a few quid off?

Enjoy new bike

My missus new bike came with Continental Ultra Sports. After 4 punctures on the first 2 rides I changed them for Schwalbe Durano Plus. No problems since.

 

[gavroche]

Bike has arrived! It came in a massive box that wouldn't fit in the car as I had it delivered away from home. Anyway, I was pleased that they also included a proper spanner for fitting the pedals, a multi tool, a small shoulder bag and some sample of cycling foods. Very happy indeed. Bike looks beautiful, it even looks like a very expensive one although it is not. At my age , it would be silly to spend thousands on one. All I need now is some good weather!!!

Hi , I bought one for my girlfriend from chainreaction last week , hopefully comes by the end of this week , it's a surprise ! I finally went with that because it comes with the tripple rings and for the the price top value , the only things I will change will be the tyres , something more suitable for the winter , I have looked at some Schwalbe 25mm with a good tread pattern and puncture protection , also a ladies saddle ,
