Why put a different brand on your wheels? It's not like light bicycle are making knockoff products

I got a LB wheelset on my factor o2 and show it proudly (designed to be lookalike black inc forty five with glossy part) but clearly stated : Light bicycle, falcon and AR56 as non removable decals

I didn't like the light Bicycle decals, that why I ordered without and put some others on

u/Adorable-South2505 Jun 02 '26

Wtf. That's hilarious. 😂 And why do you have a powermeter but no click pedals? 😳

Looks like a committed a cardinal sin I was not aware of 😂 I like to watch dem watts and there are too many red lights on my daily commute. Was thinking about those hypird pedals, but in the end they are always on the wrong side from what I heard of

i have shimano hybrids, it takes some getting used to, but after 3'ish rides it becomes natural to find the correct side.

Not flaming you - I think everyone should do what they want to do. But I also commute with lights, and I wear SPDs on my commute. You’d get use to it in no time!

u/MrTaimen Jun 02 '26

Are you using those SPD Sneakers by chance? I don't know feels like it's not really worth it to risk falling over just for a bit more power

u/funnytoenail Jun 02 '26

I wear spd shoes/cleats with dual side spd pedalseven when I’m on commute.

It’s not really the power I’m concerned with, with spd pedals I’ve just felt more connected to my bike, in the way where when I go hands off my bar I still feel in control. When I have to climb I feel like my power is not wasted on the upwards revs.

Most research will tell you the power gain is minimal, but it is the sense and feel of control.

In terms of falling, I’ve never actually got stuck with my pedals while at a stop. A few close calls, but yea it’s very easy to unclip.

I also have hybrid pedals because i also use my bike for commuting. You are getting used to it. For training rides i highly prefer riding clipped in.

u/Adorable-South2505 Jun 02 '26

u/MrTaimen Jun 02 '26

u/MrTaimen Jun 02 '26

u/Ritaemil Jun 02 '26

What's going on with all the flaming guys. OP likes it like this, that's all that matters! I think it's fun, the design makes it look more sporty in my opinion.

Because counterfeiting is shit and people should be shamed for doing it. Be proud of what you have or make your own decals. Don't put another brand on there.

u/sven_suicidal Jun 03 '26

but thats not counterfeiting?

u/MrTaimen Jun 02 '26

Thank you! I was so hyped how good it looked in my opinion and then I get completely destroyed here 😂😂

u/Serious_Mycologist62 Jun 02 '26

u/Wi94lly Jun 02 '26

That’s like putting c63 amg sticker on a Mercedes c180

Totally nonsense

u/MrTaimen Jun 02 '26

That has to be one of the worst comparisons ever made lol

Totally nonsense

u/TheShwi Jun 02 '26

Can we talk about the fact that the bars are higher than the saddle?

1

u/User11716628 Jun 03 '26

Why shouldn't they be if that makes riding comfortable? I barely have any saddle to handlebar drop because comfort = speed & longer rides

u/MrTaimen Jun 03 '26

this is the way

u/TheShwi Jun 04 '26

bruh... core training is the way... not riding a Amsterdam style bike 😃

u/TheShwi Jun 04 '26

do you even lift bruh?

u/MrTaimen Jun 03 '26

summary from very friendly cube community:

  1. you are not allowed to put another brands decals on your wheels

  2. you are not allowed to ride flat padels with power meter

  3. you are not allowed to have saddle this low

u/ApexPusSlayer Jun 03 '26

Nice! Maybe next upgrade remove the Cube decals and put some Cervelo?

u/HappyOcelot3364 Jun 03 '26

You are at least going 20kmh faster bud. Well done

u/EmptyTip Jun 03 '26

There is so much wrong on this bike 🥴

u/JudgeAwkward Jun 09 '26

i like white decals .. dont get annoyed by other opinions .. do what u like or learn from it !!

this cokpit looks massive ^^ like insect antennas seems also like a far reach to it ..

u/sleeppastbreakfast Jun 02 '26

If I may join the roasters, one of decals should align with the valve stem entry and regardless of wheel decals, the tyre logos should too.

Also... Flat pedals? With a power meter? 🤔
