    Last minute questions about CCS

    Did have to cut it down. You can used the stock fork as a rough guide, but remember it's better to be a liitle over then under since you can always use spacers.

    Last minute questions about CCS

    With the upgrade only being around the $200'ish range; yes. The RS's mid tier air spring noticeably feels better then the coil spring of the Suntour. Just keep up with the recommended maintenance if riding in foul weather.

    Last minute questions about CCS

    I have a original CC received in June 2016 & still riding it today. I ride year round in Chicago weather & moisture intrusion into the connectors was a problem early on till I started using dielectric grease in the front connectors. The CCS may have improved on these. The 350w wheel lasted till...

    Known Issues & Problems with Juiced Bikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    My 12.8 battery on an original CC suffers from melting around the terminal, but it's still functional. It's definitely arcing likely from vibrations that cause it to momentarily lose connection, but not long enough to trigger an error. A few weeks ago I was experiencing brief power losses & the...

    Knocking Freehub and Cassette Removal?

    I'd be interest in seeing how that work out you since I may have to do the same thing soon on my CC. I've got over 7,000 miles on the freehub though & I think it's just wearing out & developing more play then normal. Finally after riding through heavy rain yesterday; this morning it was crunchy...

    CCS owners who have changed the length of your chain

    I went with the guide of number of links & did take some off the original chain. THe replacement chains though have come with pretty that exact number of links. It didn't really help with chain drop though. In the tips/fixes thread someone suggest swapping out the chainring for a narrow wide...

    Known Issues & Problems with Juiced Bikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Thanks for the tip on the narrow wide chainring. Only one day with the Deckel 52t one from Ebay & no drops yet. I was experiencing several recently before this & had one lock up to the point of destroying the derailleur cage. Thank goodness for having throttle that day.

    Crosscurrent Rear Disc Pad Full Contact?

    I wanted to know that it wasn't just me. I have access to a machine shop, but I'll have to ponder if just facing the mount adapter will leave enough engagement thread or cause any structural issues because I'd have to take off at least 1mm. It's can be problem if you let it wear to where the...

    Crosscurrent Rear Disc Pad Full Contact?

    Do the disc brake pads on your CC(s) make full contact with the disc? On my original CC there's a portion of the pad (top part) that doesn't & while it still brakes fine I think it increases wear on the pads & also the disc if you let the pads wear down enough. Just want to see if this was a...

    Rock Shox Paragon Air Suspension Fork For CC

    I actually neglected maintenance on the Rock Shox too & this is the result. Rust developing beneath the seals where it's in contact with a foam internal wiper. There seems to be corosion inside the leg too near that spot, but I can't tell how much. Fork is still functional.

    CCS Owners - What's your current mileage and which items have you had to replace?

    If you're talking about me. I often think broken concrete /asphalt is rougher on a bike then dirt. But the shop that did the rebuild used phil wood 13/14g single butted spokes. I requested smaller spoke because I think part of the problem with the stock wheels were the higher tension needed...

    CCS Owners - What's your current mileage and which items have you had to replace?

    The original wheel even with breaking spoke lasted about a year before I suspect something happened with the gears inside like perhaps they wore out or stripped. They sented a refurb wheel which had it's own issues like disc bolt holes not deep enough (been running 5 screws instead of 6 on the...

    CCS Owners - What's your current mileage and which items have you had to replace?

    This is my original 2016 Cross Current with 14,000 miles. This is the first release of the Cross Current. It lacks proper rear rack mounts, doesn't have an LCD display, & has a "350w" motor. Things that I've had to replace due to wear. Rock Show Paragon Gold RL air fork after stock one was...

    Luna Basic 48v Charger

    Finally decided to get a 2nd charger so I don't have to lug the original CC one back and forth like I've been doing for two years. Didn't want to spend for the Juice one so went with Luna. Here's what I got for $40 shipped. It feels cheap but seems to work. The body is shorter and so are the...

    Resource thread: Battery Keys

    For those that still have your keys here is something you can do to ensure it won't likely snap off. Theres no metal behind that section so easy to drill out or maybe burn through and it feels much tougher then the little bit of plastic that was there.

    Original CC Is This Piece Really Needed?

    It looks like it, but it's not keyed to the axle so it spins freely on it. There are already torque washers on each side.

    Original CC Is This Piece Really Needed?

    The only purpose it seems to serve is an backup retention to keep the wheel from falling out, but I doubt that would ever happen if the nuts are properly tightened. My CC didn't come with proper rack mount so I rely on the threaded hole this is bolted to. Unfortunately through repeated...
