The way I’m looking at it If the dropout is long enough You won’t need a monkey bone adapter, as the OEM axle plate provided with the Merlin wheel is to be used without one (with post mount brakes). Dropout just needs to be long enough to support the axle plate which replaces the torque arm. (And looks like it might be)
Looking at the cube it looks like it has sliding dropouts so this is how chain tension is achieved.
I’m not 100% though and manual will need to be referenced with some more detailed knowledge of cube dropouts
MCamb-
thank you both! really appreciated :)
I dug this out.
Which has detailed drawing of the dropouts. It also looks like they ship the same dropouts for enviolo and the deore build.
@MCamb so you are saying if I get the Merlin deal I'd need a diff axle plate right?
Cable management could be tricky yes but I think I can live with that, cables run on the steerer tube and exit at the bottom I think.

Based on the picture of the dropout MCamp showed above, you will not be able to use a monkeybone to fix the oem adapter plate.

I think you need the standard plate, a torque arm and the external mech version with disc brake.
