I know this is a dumb question, but what is the advantage of going tubeless?

I suspect it depends on where one lives and the relative quality of one's local hub. In my case I generally find FedEx to be better. I buy a lot of wine by mail order, which is a pretty good test. At one point, orders shipped with UPS were being returned damaged at about a 30% clip. FedEx...

Three weeks, 235 miles, no problems! Swapped out the saddle for a Brooks B17 Imperial and added the Kinekt.

From what I've read they aren't super quick but they do generally get with it within 7-10 days. Not ideal, but I think it's consistent with other low/mid-priced, internet ebike companies. If you look at Trusted Reviews, Rad Power gets the same ratings and the same kinds of complaints that...

A downside to installing a quick release is that it makes it easier to steal the front wheel.

Having just done a lot of research, I ended up purchasing a CCX for myself and an Aventon Level for my wife, because she wanted a step-through. IMHO the CCX still represents a good value. It has more battery and power than the Aventon, better tires, comes with lighting, and most importantly...

Thanks for the suggestions, Timpo. I didn't end up using them, but they led me to a solution that should work. None of the replacement clamps will fit the CCX because it's using a 38mm tube with a 34.5mm shim inside. The security clamps don't seem to be available larger than 34.5mm, so they...

Getting a Kinekt seatpost and I've been trying to find a locking collar to keep it from walking away. I tried the "universal" one from Pinhead and it didn't come CLOSE to fitting the CCX's 38mm frame tube. I see Abus makes one that goes up to 34.9mm but I don't know if that could be stretched...

For the record, my CrossCurrent X arrived today. The box was pretty beaten up but I'm happy to report that there was no damage to the bike. It came late in the day so I didn't have much time to test ride it after I got it all put together. As far as I can tell it's in perfect condition and it...

I'll definitely inspect the box closely before signing for it. I think the shipping companies are stressed with COVID. Seem to damage more packages than normal (which was never great anyway). I'm surprised companies like Juiced don't double box for added security. Probably wouldn't have...

Sorry for your trouble and glad it worked out in the end. I've got a CCX en route from CA to FL, due to arrive on Tues., so not exactly the kind of story I was hoping to see. :)
