The other cube has QR axles, and the cannondale says it has a custom rear axle QR spacing. Upgraded wheel sets may be difficult to find or very limited in selection for those. I ran into this problem recently, wound up buying a custom built set which worked out ok but wasn't cheap. Just something to consider.
Thanks Bryan. Quite disappointed Cannondale has that custom spacing. Regarding Cube, a couple of members on a local forums suggest that “the current Cube Reaction bikes are XC bikes with an long ago outdated geometry”. Is this remotely true?
