Product Information
Full details
The Cube Nuroad One Gravel Bike is designed for riders seeking a versatile bike capable of handling rough roads and mixed terrain with ease. Its primary benefit is the smooth ride delivered by a lightweight aluminum frame and full carbon fork, complemented by the convenience of ample mounting points for bags and accessories, making it an excellent choice for commuting, touring, or spontaneous adventures. A potential consideration is that while versatile, it is optimized for gravel and mixed surfaces, and may not be the fastest option for pure road cycling.

FAQs
What is the maximum tyre clearance on the Nuroad One?
The Nuroad One can accommodate tyres up to 45mm wide without mudguards, and up to 40mm wide when mudguards are fitted.
Can I fit pannier racks and mudguards?
Yes, the frame and fork are equipped with mounting points specifically for standard pannier racks and mudguards, making it highly adaptable for commuting and touring.
What type of brakes does the Nuroad One have?
The Nuroad One is equipped with powerful and reliable disc brakes, offering consistent stopping performance in all weather conditions.
Is the Nuroad One suitable for long-distance touring?
Yes, with its comfort-focused geometry, accessory mounts, and ability to fit wider tires, the Nuroad One is well-suited for long-distance touring and bikepacking.
How does the 1x9 drivetrain perform on hills?
The 1x9 drivetrain provides a wide gear range, which is generally sufficient for tackling most hills encountered on gravel roads and mixed terrain. The simplicity of only having one shifter also makes gear selection easier.
What maintenance is required for the carbon fork?
A carbon fork requires similar cleaning to the rest of the bike. Avoid direct high-pressure washing on the steerer tube. Ensure the headset is properly tensioned and that no impacts have occurred.
Troubleshooting
Gears skipping or not shifting smoothly
Check derailleur hanger alignment. Ensure the cable is clean and properly tensioned. Adjust derailleur limit screws if necessary. Lubricate the chain and cables.
Brakes feel weak or spongy
Inspect brake pads for wear and clean rotors with isopropyl alcohol. Check for air in the hydraulic brake lines; if present, a brake bleed is recommended. Ensure all caliper bolts are tight.
Unusual noises (creaking, clicking)
Tighten crank arms, pedals, and stem bolts. Check headset for play. Clean and lubricate the seatpost and saddle clamp. Identify the source of the noise by isolating components.
Tyre goes flat frequently
Inspect the inside of the tyre for sharp objects. Check the rim tape for damage or if it has shifted. Ensure the tube is not pinched and that the tyre is properly seated on the rim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: Upon receiving the bike, it's recommended to have it professionally assembled or to carefully follow a detailed assembly guide. Key steps include:
- Handlebar Installation: Securely attach the handlebars to the stem.
- Pedal Installation: Ensure correct threading (left pedal is reverse-threaded).

Care and Maintenance:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the frame and components with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washers directly on bearings.
- Lubrication: Keep the drivetrain clean and lubricated, especially after riding in wet or dirty conditions.
- Brake Checks: Inspect brake pads for wear and ensure rotors are clean and free from contamination.
- Tyre Pressure: Maintain correct tyre pressure for optimal performance and to prevent pinch flats.
- Regular Servicing: Consider a professional bike service annually, or more frequently if riding extensively in harsh conditions.
