    How to Best Charge Battery for Longest Life

    I'm currently about to order the following for an 80% charge on the stock 12.8 ah battery. I just want to verify it will work prior to pulling the trigger. (I asked the question in another thread). https://lunacycle.com/48v-3amp-luna-mini-charger/...

    CCS Add-ons & Upgrades & Handlebar Options

    OK, my battery doesn't have that, it has a laptop type DC power jack. The part that transmits power to the bike seems to be an XLR connection so I had assumed wrongly that you were charging through that. So maybe all I need is the Luna charger something like this? (I will need to check...

    CCS Add-ons & Upgrades & Handlebar Options

    Awesome, thanks for the detailed instructions! I have the 12.8 ah battery so 48 volts it is. Also gives me a reason to finally replace my piece-of-cr*p radioshack soldering iron that never works. So do you take your battery off the bike every time to charge it or do the wide format batteries...

    CCS Add-ons & Upgrades & Handlebar Options

    I searched that but coming up at $100. Is there another site to buy it at or do they have sales? I had 3 this week so I'm guessing no. The roads are really bad in the greater Boston area though. I'm interested to hear if those chain retainers actually work.

    CCS Add-ons & Upgrades & Handlebar Options

    That Kinekt Body Float looks awesome but, holy crap, that price! Maybe I will try a cheapy and see how that works. It's too bad the Suntour ones don't just come with everything that is needed for different body weights.

    CCS Add-ons & Upgrades & Handlebar Options

    Has anyone tried other suspension seatposts aside from the Suntour SP12-NCX? I'm 140lbs and would prefer something where I didn't have to order extra parts to offer correct suspension for me. Also, I'm looking for a cheap charger for work. I think someone posted the one linked below in...

    First Post: Pannier/ water bottle recommendations for Cross Current S.

    OK, thanks for the input. I'm going to keep on the lookout as my situation is somewhat unique. The top loading panniers, or ones that sit high in general, won't work with a basket. Right now I have a 15 year old one zip tied on because the pannier bounced off, cracked my rack, and almost...

    First Post: Pannier/ water bottle recommendations for Cross Current S.

    I have a sunlite basket on my CSS rack. Will that pannier still fit if a basket is mounted? I'm looking for a pannier with a secure fit that won't break the bank. This is the basket: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

    Best inner tubes

    Thanks for all your help. I just got back from my trip so was able to replace the tube. They didn't have that Stanley anywhere in stock so I ended up getting the Crescent version it. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) Getting the wheel back in was rediculously tight so I'm hoping I didn't...

    Best inner tubes

    Thanks! That looks really useful in general. I'm going to pick one up to keep at home. For the road my friend just gave me the idea to use a spark plug socket. They have a pass thru but the also have flats on the outside to use with a cresent wrench.

    Best inner tubes

    Hah! OK, I'm going to look for something slimmer since I don't have a grinder. Ideally I could find a budget version of something like the link below. If not I will get that set and bring it over my buddies house and take it to the grinder...

    Best inner tubes

    Great idea. I think I might have found a set that might not need grinding. I'm trying to keep the budget lower. https://www.amazon.com/WORKPRO-Offset-Standard-8-piece-Organizer/dp/B015WH4E1Q/ref=sr_1_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1518105582&sr=1-3&keywords=18mm+offset+wrench&th=1

    Best inner tubes

    Great, thanks all. I will get a few backups of the schwalbe tubes. That GAADI looks like it would be awesome for field repairs so I might pick up one of those as well. Unfortunately the Marathon tires were out of stock when I ordered the bike so I had to go with the defaults. "Found an...

    Best inner tubes

    Well in my excitement to try out my new Crosscurrent S I took it for a spin around the parking lot yesterday before checking the tire pressure and the rear tire was flat this morning. I think I must have pinched a tube (default Kenda tires). Does anyone have recommendations for tubes for...

    Battery doesn't fit

    Yeah, I had already tried a bunch with key but I just tried with the full weight of my body it snapped on and scraped away a bunch of plastic (On the bottom part of that "U"). I noticed that the guide video on youtube has a couple comments where some people sanded it down. I might do that to...

    Battery doesn't fit

    Has anyone had an issue with the battery not lining up properly? I'm not sure if it is the seat or the battery itself but when it is fully seated in the bottom it is not centered at the top. I just shot Juicedbikes an email and am hoping it is an easy fix or that I'm just completely missing...
