    CCS owners, what power level do you use most of the time?

    I'd say about a year, but my usage would probably be considered usually heavy. I recharge to full 10 times a week to ensure I have enough juice especially for the winter season. 17.4 was what I was hoping to get for the 2nd battery but it was out of stock at the time. With that I could get away...

    Cracking Spoke Holes CC Wheel After 7k+ Miles

    I have the original CC which uses 12g spokes. Tbe 13/14g single butted spoke the shop bought are naturally smaller all around compared to the straight gauge 12's. I thought that as the hub is sized for that it could be an issue with it pulling through the hub holes? I've seen builds where...

    Cracking Spoke Holes CC Wheel After 7k+ Miles

    Both ends. It's a smaller diameter wire so it makes sense to me. Looking an Andy's build I guess it isn't a problem.

    Cracking Spoke Holes CC Wheel After 7k+ Miles

    Good luck with that. I just dropped off my wheel today at the LBS & just in time because one of those spoke nipples pulled right out with little effort. They did manage to secure the Velocity Cliffhanger rim which looked pretty stout & heavy duty. The 13/14ga spokes they bought are smaller at...

    CCS owners, what power level do you use most of the time?

    I'm in S most of the time on my original 350w CC so as make my 32~ mile roundtrip commute as short as possible. On a good calm day that means under 50 minutes on a 50/50 city/suburban route. I'm on my 2nd battery a 12.8 (replacing the old 10.4) & i think I've already worn it down as the assist...

    Cracking Spoke Holes CC Wheel After 7k+ Miles

    Hopefully my LBS will finally be able to get my hub redone with a new rim & spokes this week, but in the meantime I've been riding it as normal. Here's what it looks like now. The wobble looks bad, but I really don't feel it. Shop suggested Velocity Cliffhanger rims & 13/14 butted spokes, but...

    Shimmy and creak

    I did manage to finally get my left crank arm off by cutting down to near the square taper. After that taking off just the left BB cup & reinstalling fixed my snapping noises. The BB did feel dry spinning the spindle, but surprisingly still fairly solid without alot of play so one part I won't...

    Seat Suspension - CCS - Will this fit?

    I've had mine almost since I got my CC back in Spring 2016. It's a great value & functional suspension seatpost compared to some of the other offerings.. The only thing I don't care for is that I've been trying to get replacement bushings/pins for over a year from Suntour & they seem to have a...

    Cracking Spoke Holes CC Wheel After 7k+ Miles

    I will definitely get the rim/wheel replaced. Just hoping it can be done with little downtime & for a reasonable cost as I suddenly have alot of other maintenance items to take of such as new chain/ rotor/ disc pads/ new fork oil/seals. The quality of the stock rims probably aren't suited to my...

    Cracking Spoke Holes CC Wheel After 7k+ Miles

    This is my 2nd wheel after the original developed motor issues. Noticed this after cleaning dried salt/dirt off from winter commuting. Of the 5-6 other cracks I've seen this it the worse of it. I wonder if it'll be cheaper to buy a new wheel or get this re-laced with a new rim/spokes. If I can...

    Shimmy and creak

    I have had a creak/snap for awhile on my original CC. It usually goes away awhile after a few minutes of riding. I suspect it's the bottom bracket too, but have been unable to do anything since I stripped the crankarm removal threads on the left one. Tried a homemade puller but it won't bulge so...

    A squeak fixed: probably was a dry, overrunning clutch roller

    When mine was new there was a squeak from the motor. It turned out to be the rubber coated bushing/bearing rubbing against the axle & some oil fixed that.

    Over 11,000 Miles On My Original Cross Current

    I guess I was curious if it could double as a workstand. That does look like the correct fork from the description. Trying to decipher the specs on (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) there may be 3 models, the normal 1-1/8 one (AM?), an XL (extra long?), & a tapered model for the big headtubes.

    Over 11,000 Miles On My Original Cross Current

    I'm ok with the kickstand other then when the crankarm catches it while backing up. Does that double leg stand around you to spin the crank & wheel? I wouldn't mind the LCD either just to know how much I'm draining the battery & how much power I'm putting in. Here are pics of the fork...

    Marathon Plus Tires - Opinions

    I use the Marathon with the one step down from their best puncture protection. One tire had a QC issue with the sidewall slightly budging out 1mm in one spot, but I'm still using it. Got a flat recently on one of them running over some piece of stiff wire while luckily close to home. When...

    Over 11,000 Miles On My Original Cross Current

    Far from it, but I have previously use zip ties before. Rubberband actually work just as well if not better until they fail from age/exposure.

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

    Though the stock chain on my original CC was longer then needed, a new chain at a more correct length did not ultimately get rid of the issue. Seems to be a common problem with 1x setups so I think the only fix will be to put on some sort of chain guide. I've been meaning to see if I could do...

    CC Motor Burnt Out

    When my wheel went bad it didn't sound like that, but rather an electrical whirring sound & the motor wasn't engaging reliably. A replacement wheel fixed it, but I really wonder what was wrong with the original wheel since I may need to work on it myself next time since I'm out of warranty. I am...

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

    I've had this issue & for me it was either the controller or the wiring harness. Do you ride in wet weather? Check the connector from the display to the harness for any corrosion. Maybe gently put pressure on the various connections there as you you turn on the bike.
