    Fat tire frame pump (HV + CO2) -- Does CO2 even work in 4" high volume tires?

    Unfortunately the OneUp seems to be presta only "Fast-On Head (Presta Only) - No threads or locking lever" And I just got confirmation that the CrankBrothers "Klic HV Gauge + Co2" does both Presta/Schrader but only Presta for CO2, and the gauge is only while pumping with Air. I tested the...

    Detailed Ride Report - Distance/Battery

    @Mark Peralta Because we have bikes with different tire pressures, I didn't say a specific PSI. My RCS has a max of 30 PSI, and a CCS will of course be higher. I have been riding with a PSI of ~ 27, but I'm thinking of dropping that down to ~23-24 and locking out the front fork. Will try that...

    Detailed Ride Report - Distance/Battery

    @karmap If you are not getting the kind of range you expected then consider: Is this a CCS or RCS? Is the bike mechanically sound - Do the wheels spin freely without any sounds or signs of rubbing? Are the tires inflated? Chain lubricated? What is the total loaded weight - the bike + you +...

    Fat tire frame pump (HV + CO2) -- Does CO2 even work in 4" high volume tires?

    Preface: I am sure question is answered elsewhere, but when I tried to search for "fat tire co2 pump" both "fat" & "co2" get ignored as too short/common. So I see way too many messages. ///// Bike is Juiced RCS - so this is the 4" fat tires. So it seems there are bike pumps that are...

    Add =your= thoughts for the short haul of groceries (and other stuff that helps you and your bike)

    @TForan I have the metal folding Wald 528's, which are too square for my re-usable grocery bags. A) Which paniers are these? B) Are they perma-mounted or are they "take with you or else they will be stolen" type? C) Do they fold flat when empty D) Do they hold their shape if you put a gallon...

    RCS latest upgrades

    A note to other RCS owners: If you get the ABUS Bordo 6500 lock, the default one ($175 approx.) is only 85cm. This is just barely enough to lock the bike frame to a bike lock if you can get really close. I found out that ABUS makes the 6500 in a 110cm length for $199. I wish I had purchased...

    Detailed Ride Report - Distance/Battery

    I really wish they included a little card with table for the 13s and 14s configs -- at least 100%, 80%, 60%, 40% and 20%. @Tora Harris FYI: My RCS with 19.2 Ah shipped with low voltage cutoff set to 40V (10% for 48V ) so went into settings and I bumped it up to 42V (20% for 48V). I had...

    Detailed Ride Report - Distance/Battery

    @karmap First off 41V remaining is LOW, VERY VERY LOW. You are ALREADY below 20%, which is were we ALL recommend you cut off. You should have charged. If you are below 43.7 Volts you are already at or below the likely useful power curve on the battery. Its best to state what started in...

    Has anyone received their May pre-order?

    You didn't say CCS or RCS for XL. I remember someone here on the forums who had been waiting more than 3 weeks for the RCS XL to be available - just checking the website day after day just to place his order. My March 13th Medium Brushed Aluminum RCS with 19.2ah took 80 days to arrive - I am...

    Eyeball question - Contacts + sunglasses vs prescription sunglasses

    So it seems like the consensus is for biking, if you need a prescription, to get glasses not contacts. Thanks for the feedback and links everyone!

    Eyeball question - Contacts + sunglasses vs prescription sunglasses

    My original thinking when I first posted was leaning towards contacts because if the glasses fall off at speed (when I sneeze.. .well watch out! :)) then its more costly to replace, especially if Insurance will only replace once every 2 years. But its sounding like, for riding, that...

    Juiced support is on the ball!

    @John from Connecticut I am not disagreeing with you that connectors might be weak - I don't have anything to compare against other than Molly connectors in a PC. Two questions: Are you comparing between a like price-point (sub $2000) bikes (i.e. your has a heavier/better connects and is...

    Eyeball question - Contacts + sunglasses vs prescription sunglasses

    Bruce - I was asking because I have an eye exam coming up and figure I might end up getting a prescription. So if I do need a prescription do I go for Glasses or Contacts. /// But now that you brought up eye protection - what do you use? Thanks!

    Has anyone received their May pre-order?

    @Bruce Arnold I agree that hopefully lessons were learned, but the RCS is a bigger bike. One big difference -- there is no bottom protector on the front forks. Just some foam. I think the beefier frame of the RCS makes for some packing changes. Here is what I noted regarding packaging of...

    Eyeball question - Contacts + sunglasses vs prescription sunglasses

    I was wondering if there are advantages or disadvantages or wearing contacts while biking at 15-22mph. Do you eyes dry out faster with contacts? Is dust/particles in air more or less of a hazard with contacts? Etc. What are you thoughts?

    Has anyone received their May pre-order?

    Asher - My GUESS is that they QA battery to fit to a specific battery housing on a specific bike. So I guess once they match up they don't want to move things around too much. I just practiced my battery -- boy is the clearance tight, I have to get it just right to have that good positive lock...

    Has anyone received their May pre-order?

    @PCDoctorUSA I have not been able to figure out how to have BOTH the rear light and the fender tab that attaches to the rear rack where the light should go at the same time using the provided stuff. Of course my box had fist sized hole in it so maybe something dropped out. Luckily I have a...
