Is the fork compressing to a different level now with you on it, Ringo, than before you serviced it? If so, the extension of the stanchions may have changed (probably more extended now??) while you’re riding, and maybe oscillations are occurring that weren’t possible before. In any case, my bet...

Been to a lot of those places, but never panned for gold. Cool.

Yeah, I’m not getting the “shim” thing either. I’m not quite sure what @efair is talking about. Is it shown in the picture? I dislike them too. Takes me quite a while to get the seat angle right. But, that’s all I’ve ever had to work with. I do like that they’re adjustable, as that’s...

I did something similar with a stem extender on my MTB… This gave me about 8” additional height on the bar. I also had to replace the front brake cable (this was pre-disk hoses) because it was too short. Looks goofy, but it helped. Not enough, though.

Copy that, 6. Good point on the charger. That was certainly true (expensive) when Juiced was re-selling them, but having a programmable charger seemed like a really good idea, particularly to do the kind of stuff you are describing. In any case, Juiced did not have a fast-charging program...

Beautiful ride, Charge!

rainy and hot with a touch of squid. (from an AI that likes The Watchmen). (apologies, feeling a little silly at breakfast this morning). (not enough coffee).

:D I, for one, will not rush you to try to find the best answers for your ebike, jsp! :D Take your time, and I'm sure you’ll find ways to make the tech work for you!

This is really smart, I think, 6… Does it end up charging faster than the stock 2A/3A charger that you got with the bikes?

Excellent, Cyber! I hope you’re as comfortable with the TRK saddle as I am.

@Cadstar good luck with the hunt for a RipCurrent S. I love mine. Be aware that there are at least two models. The 2022 revision was the last one they did (that’s what I have), and it came with a G2 battery. Please see my other thread about sealing this battery if you end up getting one. By...

(sorry, it was 8A, Wally)... This is what Juiced sent to me when I asked about the Grin Cycle Satiator power charger... We are convinced that charging your battery with an 8amp cycle satiator is safe, if you fast charge your batteries they will discharge faster as well - keep that in mind if...

Hi Wally, My advice is to live with the slow(er) charge rate. I can’t comment on that “rule,” and I would say that “safe” is not the only factor. The faster you charge, the more you impact battery life. I have a similar 1000Wh size battery (52Vx19.2Ah) At one point, I considered getting a...

Very beautiful, JG!

Hey, thanks for the tip on this, Cadstar. I grabbed it. It’ll be good to have a spare one of these in case mine gets damaged in the future. Comin’ up on 3000mi on my RCS! Oh, and I doubt this display would work with the old(er) 48V versions of the bike.

Thanks, Cadstar. Late reply, but better late than never. :) Thanks for the thoughtful post. Agreed on your conclusion. Yeah, frankly I gave up. I still have the broken controller sitting around somewhere, but I haven’t touched it in months. I was not able to get the guts out, and I didn’t...

And, no, Stefan… No turtle soup for dinner. :D

Check out this snapping turtle at my usual turn-around point at 10 miles on the rail trail. This guy was BIG. He was blocking the local road by the pond (which luckily is barely traveled). Anyway, this was a treat. Hope you guys can see the vid on streamable: https://streamable.com/2i9i0l

Are those leather-wrapped ergo grips? Are the fasteners copper? Very beautiful!

As a "yard-work guy" and a shooter, I will only echo the sentiment that it’s a really good idea to ride with eye protection at all times. Bugs are a PITA, but (for me) branches are always a risk, not to mention schmutz kicked up by other riders or (especially) vehicles on the road.
