    Ripcurrent S - can the shocks be upgraded?

    Wanted to add a thought on this RCS Front Suspension Fork dilemma juiced handed us. It occurred to me the other day, after thousands of miles on these aftermarket Bolany's, that I've had as least 3 FULL Panic Stops (due to crazy people in vehicles) without issue . . . . the rear tire skidding...

    Juiced RipCurrent-S (aka RCS) - 1000 km Impressions and Log Summary

    Yea Xplorer, have found that to be true in my Font Fork research, there were only a few True variations of the Fat Tire Front Suspension Forks w/ a 1.125" Straight Steer Tube . . . and, availability varied by season . . . Which is why I purchased a spare set that's still NIB : ) . . . . . ...

    Ripcurrent S - can the shocks be upgraded?

    Hey ZIP, like I'd mentioned before, I got up to and was considering front wheel replacement for my RCS and was studying every YouTube vid on lacing bike wheels I could find. I've been lucky to know a couple of old school wheel tuners and shown a few tricks, so I was unafraid and ready to lace...

    Ripcurrent S - can the shocks be upgraded?

    Well That's good news, the tapered steer tube lower bearings I'd found at the time were too large to fit the head tube on my RCS. But had I settled on ANY decent shocks requiring this mod, ur STILL stuck with lacing up a whole new wheel and hub assy . . . it's only money! AND, the Other side...

    Got Juiced? RipCurrent S Log

    Amen Timpo . . . The promotional advertisements for this model makes all appearances as a Mountain Bike rather than the commuter/cruiser it actually is. Juiced knows these forks are too light for this bike. They swapped from a brand name Front Fork to a no name fork mid production and...

    Got Juiced? RipCurrent S Log

    Yea Timpo, I'd priced a few bike shops to cut and fit the replacement Fat Forks I was forced to buy. Portland Ore has Lots of bike shops but the "conventional" shops gave me the feeling Ebikes were somehow "flawed" and the Ebike shops quoted high prices. So, I went down the YouTube rabbit...
