    Ziponator! Hope ur Holidays are Florida . . ish and Happy New Yr's to you and yours! Got a quick question . . . I'd purchased the same CS-HG201-9, 11-34 tooth Cassette not long after getting my RCS because of some review I'd read at the time. I plan on changing Cassette's to possibly...

    Fat Tire Exploded while seating

    WoW, glad ur OK Dude! I was going to ask if there was more to be discovered. Again, it's valuable experience for those who are interested. And, BTW, I've NEVER overserviced my car's Air Conditioning System and had to deal with the expense of a burned out radiator fan that was forced to work...

    Fat Tire Exploded while seating

    Just visited VEE Tire Co's webpage for this tire. ALL of their Fat Bike tires are rated @ 8-20 PSI which is typical as you'd already mentioned. https://veetireco.com/product/fat-bike-mission-command/ I've been running the Vee Zig Zag's on a Tannus insert (rear only) for the last half of their...

    Ripcurrent S Replacement Chain

    Thx & Roger That! Makes much more sense, and provides good intel I wasn't aware of. And, that's a good price for the stock chain, will prob purchase when available & carry one as a spare. Am Not in a hurry since the bike is going thru an "A-Check" in my living room at the moment : / I'll...

    Ripcurrent S Replacement Chain

    So, if I understand correctly, your using the Stock chain and not the KMC e9 EPT from Amazon. And you have 500 miles on a shortened KMC. So, have you replaced the stock chain ? And if you've shortened the one your currently using, does that mean you've shortened the original or a replacement...

    Ripcurrent S - can the shocks be upgraded?

    Good Stuff ! . . . you've answered a couple other questions I'd forgot to ask : / I suspected that the Rotor's 6 hole bolt pattern may be (somewhat) standard but there's often not alot of shared standards w/ bikes. This would be Hard without satellite's ; )

    Tektro 203mm Brake Upgrade

    So there I was, looking at how worn my RCS Brake Rotors have gotten this season and wondering why Juiced didn't use Tektro's larger Rotor ? These 180mm brakes are minimal at best. Mine are getting pretty well worn even though I've only ever used Organic Resin Pad's And . . . was amazed how...

    Ripcurrent S - can the shocks be upgraded?

    Wanted to add a thought on this RCS Front Suspension Fork dilemma juiced handed us. It occurred to me the other day, after thousands of miles on these aftermarket Bolany's, that I've had as least 3 FULL Panic Stops (due to crazy people in vehicles) without issue . . . . the rear tire skidding...

    Ahhhh, DUDE . . . . . you've got me convinced your efforts to improve the RCS's Front Forks gives several advantages and has proven viable thru your pioneering efforts. I, and am sure others appreciate your sharing these time consuming efforts. My RCS riding season is coming to a close and...

    Thx for the reply . . . as before, it's my first time back at EBR in two yrs . . . . just wasn't feeling the luv from Juiced or the Troll who was never to be questioned. It was weird and there very few with the same experience at the time, so I bailed. So this is Very Good News and gives...

    Juiced RipCurrent-S (aka RCS) - 1000 km Impressions and Log Summary

    Yea Xplorer, have found that to be true in my Font Fork research, there were only a few True variations of the Fat Tire Front Suspension Forks w/ a 1.125" Straight Steer Tube . . . and, availability varied by season . . . Which is why I purchased a spare set that's still NIB : ) . . . . . ...

    Ripcurrent S - can the shocks be upgraded?

    Hey ZIP, like I'd mentioned before, I got up to and was considering front wheel replacement for my RCS and was studying every YouTube vid on lacing bike wheels I could find. I've been lucky to know a couple of old school wheel tuners and shown a few tricks, so I was unafraid and ready to lace...

    Ripcurrent S - can the shocks be upgraded?

    Well That's good news, the tapered steer tube lower bearings I'd found at the time were too large to fit the head tube on my RCS. But had I settled on ANY decent shocks requiring this mod, ur STILL stuck with lacing up a whole new wheel and hub assy . . . it's only money! AND, the Other side...

    Ripcurrent S - can the shocks be upgraded?

    So, after swapping out the CRAP Stock Forks (which I only rode twice) on my RipCurrent S for the Bolony's available at the time (winter 2019/20 with north of 7K miles on them now) the 2 limiting factors were the 18 hole 135 x "9mm" Axle/Hub assy (which is an Extremely hard to find Modus...

    Juiced RipCurrent-S (aka RCS) - 1000 km Impressions and Log Summary

    WoW, Explorer-1, the last time I'd commented within this forum, about my issues with Juiced and my RCS, I could only find a couple of others (and a Troll) who had written about it. . . Nice WriteUp! My head wasn't converting your use of Kilometer's, and so, realizing I'd purchased my RCS on...

    Got Juiced? RipCurrent S Log

    Amen Timpo . . . The promotional advertisements for this model makes all appearances as a Mountain Bike rather than the commuter/cruiser it actually is. Juiced knows these forks are too light for this bike. They swapped from a brand name Front Fork to a no name fork mid production and...

    Got Juiced? RipCurrent S Log

    Yea Timpo, I'd priced a few bike shops to cut and fit the replacement Fat Forks I was forced to buy. Portland Ore has Lots of bike shops but the "conventional" shops gave me the feeling Ebikes were somehow "flawed" and the Ebike shops quoted high prices. So, I went down the YouTube rabbit...
