    Help troubleshoot...assist just stops?

    I just may go for the smaller cheaper stuff at a local autoparts/home improvement store. The DC tubes are pretty big that I will never use it up. Going to get replacement display & wire harness, but in the meantime this temporary fix has worked to keep the contact going. The assist seems to be...

    Looked it up and expensive. Thought might have some at work, but closest thing is Dow Corning Molykote 111. That should work too? Data sheets show that both are very similar.

    Help troubleshoot...assist just stops?

    Not sure if this would affect the assist, but I think this has been the issue with my CC's blinking display & shutting down. Looks like corrosion in the connector from the display. I've read that dielectric grease will prevent this.

    Cross Current extended battery

    It is a 10.4 & it didn't bother me because it doesn't get seen. It could also be put in the frame instead of the battery and accompish the same thing. The bottom battery is the new one I was sent. Other then the missing velcro I though it was odd where they placed the stickers. And I did get...

    Cross Current extended battery

    My CC is very unreliable atm due to the display flashing & then shutting down for some unknown reason. The PAS is also troublesome to engage at times. A new controller & battery unfortunately have not fix this. I have over 2200 miles on it. The replacement battery I got did not have the velcro...

    What are the symptoms? Today I saw some odd behavior today with my display having all the assist LED's lit & blinking at once & it then shut down twice towards the end of my 16 mile one way commute. I have a little over 1,600 miles on the bike. I've ridden on days in the 90's & haven't noticed...

    My battery isn't secure in it's case. If you take it off and rock it front to back you can feel about 1cm of play. Luckily it hasn't affected the bike yet, but it has me concerned that any connection in there could break or work themselves loose.

    I have both tires at around 70 PSI so it can roll better. I don't like using earphones when riding, so the thing on my stem is a simple custom made mount for my bluetooth speaker. Interesting choice going with the CC instead of a folding ebike that you could carry you on that nice plane.

    My rear tire has been has been fine for over 3 weeks now after using a tube that is correctly sized (43mm vs 45mm), removing all the sharp corners in the rim holes, replacing the rubber rim strip with something better, & switching to a Schalbwe tire. Can't exactly say which one of these action...

    I can feel assist up to mid 20's on level 3, but usually cruise in low 20's. You do have to work to maintain it but 28mph should be easily achievable on lvl ground with no wind.

    The Blackburn Central 700 x 60 fenders just came in & they are a good fit for the CC. I wanted to try them out before mentioning where I got them from but they're a great deal on closeout at $25 (+$5 shipping to IL) from https://www.biketiresdirect.com/product/blackburn-central-full-fender-set...

    Ok pretty much using the same points I used only without the extra rack mods. So the hole on that side was re-tapped. Nice idea with removing the quick release lever from the seatpost collar. Should save me $5 on a new one. The Blackburn Central 700x60 fenders I ordered should arrive tomorrow...

    A photo of the other side would be more clear, but did you make another threaded hole or just enlarge an existing one? Going back to what I did with the Performance Bike branded disc rack I have the brake side leg extended one notch lower then the other side, but still not perfect so I also...

    The 2nd & third tire developed holes on the inner side, but I could not feel anything running my finger over the rim strip. But perhaps it was only an issue when fully inflated & with weight on the wheel. So far the 4th has been running good for few days & as mention this time I went with a tube...

    Yea instead of range anxiety I now have flat anxiety not good when my commute is 16 miles each way. My ride has to be very reliable since I don't drive & hate to spend money on public transit if I don't have to. That is pretty bad if the blowout was enough to warp a rim beyond repair. My rear...

    Assist lvl 3 is actually enough to maintain low to mid 20's. Level 2 high teens. I don't bother much with 1 & eco. With no power low to mid teens.

    I'm actually on my 4th inner tube & this time it's a Giant brand schrader 700 x 35-45 from a local LBS. The stock tube blew out a few minutes after being inflated to 80 PSI. The 2nd Kenda schrader 700 x 38-43 tube from a closer LBS kept getting holes in the inner wall & patches would blow out...

    Just got the Sr Suntour suspension seatpost & I highly recommend it or any of the other parallelogram seatposts for your CC. The SP12-NCX is the best bang for buck of them though. I got this from bike-discount.de for about $85 shipped from Germany. It's even cheaper now two weeks later...

    I had been thinking about making some sort of adapter to go on the seatstays, but ended up using the existing holes. This is the disc version of the Performancebike $25 house brand rack & has adjustable height legs. The brake side is bolted to the M5 hole used to make sure the axle doesn't fall...

    I have the stock seatpost back on atm the moment & it does make a good difference in comfort for the rear. These parallelogram type suspensions seatposts are great. The major reasons I'm replacing it with the SR Suntour version is because it's cheaper, has half the travel which is all I need, &...
