    Rock Shox Paragon Air Suspension Fork For CC

    Got new controller installed making my CC work again so I decided to also put on the new fork at the same time. Works good along with the new throttle on this 22 mile test ride. Good option if you're not satisfied with the stock fork. http://imgur.com/a/HB8HX Edit: Just weighed the stock fork &...

    Rock Shox Paragon Air Suspension Fork For CC

    Unfortunately my CC is still down atm so I haven't put the shock on yet. Already have Jeff up there saying it's great on his Trek so I'm sure it'll be just as good on the CC.

    Throttle or no Throttle? The Solution: Adapt!

    How does the throttle work? I bought one hoping it would fix some issues keeping my CC out of service but it doesn't work along with the new display. Probably need a new controller which I'm waiting to hear from them about. Does it response immediately to the lever or does the wheel have to be...

    Rock Shox Paragon Air Suspension Fork For CC

    I was hoping to install this new air fork after the stock Suntour at some point collected enough water causing rust & cutting travel by half. But my CC is down atm due some electrical issue so I might wait till it's running again. It's a nice looking fork though & quite affordable at around...

    Cross Current

    I'm on the fence about recommending the bike without local support. I've had several issues & while they've all been resolved so far through part replacements. The 1-2 week wait between troubleshooting & shipping really hurts me since I rely on the CC as my main mode of transportation. My...

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

    I had to replace my chain recently after 5k+ miles on it and the stock chain on my CC was around 120 links while the KMC replacement was 116. For some reason the stock chain is longer then the off the shelf KMC chain. I've been riding with the new chain for 2-3 weeks & have not experienced the...

    CC motor noise?

    Loose headset Loose headset, battery/frame fit , or maybe the controller is banging against inside downtube? See if you can replicate by locking the front wheel & rocking fore & aft & also bouncing the the front end.

    My Cross Currents Upgrades - What Upgrades Have You Done?

    I do have the rear derailleur cable going through the the lower channel atm and shifting is still fine. I also had the torque sensor cable there, but took it out because I've had to do troubleshooting of the electric bits. There seems to be enough room for the rear brake & motor cable, but the...

    Water Bottle and Cage

    Any bottle cage will work. I use a 12 oz Polar insulated water bottle. It's fits well on the medium frame, but the insulating feature isn't great & the bottle leaves a plastic taste. I wish Camelback made a smaller size of their insulated bottle because it's the opposite of the Polar.

    Cross Current Dorado Wrong Replacement Brake Pads?

    I was really hoping that this wasn't a mistake since I had a coworker order them for me with their Amazon Prime to get them quick (& now have to ask them to possibly return), but these D40.11 disc brake pads don't fit the HD-E715 calipers on my CC. They're advertised for HD-E710 but also 715 as...

    Snow/ice/slush....still ride CC?

    Icy conditions with the CC are fine with carbide studded tires. With packed snow/slush tires need to be deflate to min pressures & still I have to be very cautious due to the wheels fishtailing (wobble). The 700x40 Schwalbe Marathon Winters I use aren't very good for snow though because the...

    Powerful Fat Tire E-bike w/ Torque sensor from Juiced Bikes

    Yep at work then at home. 10.4 is just barely enough for 16 miles in sport mode with a minor elevation rise of a few hundred feet over that whole distance. Combined with extra draggy winter clothes, studded tires, below 30 temps, & 5-20 mph headwinds; I can manage 23mph at best & it takes it's...

    Powerful Fat Tire E-bike w/ Torque sensor from Juiced Bikes

    I'm wondering about the LG chem battery if it could be used on the CC & how different it is in size from the 10.4. I could use a bit more capacity, but not to the level & price of the 17.4ah.

    Cross Current

    I believe they're M5 threads. I don't have the MTX rack but a cheapo house brand rack from Performance Bike. Not sure the way I mounted mine would apply to that rack since mine has adjustable height legs. I cut the down the spacers to center with the tire. Bent one leg forward to correct the...

    Cross Current

    Looks like the bigger batteries will prevent the use of the water bottle cage at least on medium size. I also wonder if a charger is included in the price due to the bigger capacity & different plug. It is tempting to not have to carry a charger to work everyday and have more overhead even...

    Cross Current

    Yes, they're pretty good. I did lose a rear mudflap. The front mudflap could use some more length since I've had snow accumulate on the bottom few inches of the downtube. Good coverage, look, & fit with 45mm tires. They look a little big here because I recently swapped to 40mm Schwalbe Marathon...

    Cross Current

    I don't like it, but I haven't had any trouble with it since I trued & dished it so I'm ok with keeping the wheel rolling. It it very tempting to have the wheels rebuilt with quality spokes & nice tough rims like the Velocity Dyads on my pushbike.

    Cross Current

    I ordered a full set of spokes because it was cheaper then getting them direct & locally. Only the place I ordered from shipped them with 14mm nipples instead of the 12mm that are on the CC. They still work though & I'll be looking to get rid of a few since I don't need all 36. Have only used 5...

    Crosscurrent - Suntour vs Frank fork

    I have over 3500 miles on my CC & the stock chain & Alivio derailleur have held up well so far despite me being more of a masher then a spinner in my pedaling style. The only essential upgrade IMO would be a suspension seatpost.

    Crosscurrent - Suntour vs Frank fork

    That is interesting. The forks on mine are Suntour branded. Perhaps the factory ran out of them. Performance probably isn't all that difference though as the SR's on the CC are pretty low end. Because of this I'm very tempted to upgrade to the Rock Shox Paragon Gold RL, (Link Removed - No Longer...
