A scourge indeed. I'll add that, despite certain claims Danny Hart doesn't sell bikes, he's about the only reason I'd ever even consider a Cube. Now I've got zero reasons to consider one at all. Danny's still got better odds at winning a WC than most of the field. Very few racers ever mark themselves a career win, and most who win are repeat offenders.

That's all good and well but lets face some facts here - Cube bikes are junk (I worked closely with the brand at a distribution level), the kinematics were average at best and the frame failure rate we saw was out of control, more than 50% of carbon bikes sold came back with cracked frames and they were horrendously slow with turnaround time on replacement frames, always looking for excuses. Saracen is a walmart/whatever brand so no matter the caliber of the rider you'll never get results riding a piece of crap down the hill. Personality or not, Danny Hart...
