I did shorten the stock chain after installing a smaller 48 tooth chainring. 1,500 miles so far. I did contact Juiced to get the replacement chain. At $25 each I purchased 2. I have 2 Juiced RCS bikes. Switching to a quick link is a good idea and makes the chain assembly easier. Depending on how...

I now have 500 miles on the shortened KMC chain no stretching. I checked last month with my chain checker and was good. I am not easy on the drivetrain alot of trail riding puts more sand and wear on the chain than pavement riding does. I have several backup chains when I do need to replace the...

I agree if the LBS cannot open their catalog and order the special part you need then you are on your own. Mechanical or electrical.

We did try to tilt the rear bike but the amount required to clear the handlebars was too much. I ended up lifting the rear bike on the rack. Some guy walking by suggested we loosen the handle bars and turn it 90 degrees. That's not a option either. We also ran into this clearance issue with the...

I wanted to start a thread on fat tire bike racks. I have experience over the last 2 years with a RockyMounts Backstage rack. It's a swing away rack. https://rockymounts.com/backstage/ I have a 2 inch receiver on my 2017 Pacifica. This year the desire to make it easier to roll the bikes up a...

I have 2 RCS and have replaced the fenders on both bikes. The fender has a black coating on it. It can crack. If you travel with a bike rack it can be subject to whatever speeds you drive at. I see my fenders shake in the air flow as I drive. Other than that I trail ride my RCS bikes and have no...

90-95% of EBike share the same components as non EBikes. Drivetrain, Shifters, Brakes and suspension, etc... I have had the chance to meet the Velofix guy in my area a month ago. They are in most cases less equipped to work on EBikes than the LBS. They do basic maintenance and assembly. They do...

I wanted to share an issue I have been having since owning a Juiced Ripcurrent S and Luna X1. I have been refused service at two local bike shops when trying to upgrade components or repair issues related to bikes they either don't sell or service. The refusals have been for Drivetrain, tubeless...

I have the Shimano on my new RCS Step Thru no problems.

I wanted to point out for those with Juiced bikes and 9 speed shifters. I have an older RCS which came with SHIMANO Altus SL-M2010-9R 9-Speed Right Rapidfire Plus Shifter. The latest RCS comes with a shifter MARVO LT and is not easy to read what gear you're in with only the orange indicator and...

The 203mm rotor will feel more progressive so don't be shy about squeezing the brake lever hard when emergency stopping. Clean the rotors with rubbing alcohol. Remember to bed in the rotors and pads. I spray some water on the pads then rub them together before installing them. I bed the pads by...

Question how are you going to use the bike? road mostly? Depending on how you use the bike you will pick the tires to best suit your riding needs. I have for trail riding Maxxis Minions but for road riding I have Vee Rubber Mission Command Fat Tires which are super quiet but are also good for...

My current setup: On My RCS I am using 203mm rotors on the front and rear with Tektro 4 piston on the front and the stock star union caliper on the rear. The larger rotors allows for better brake modulation. The NEW RCS Step Thru (wifes bike) has 203mm rotor up front with the stock caliper. Rear...

I didn't go into my own cone rebuild problems. The stock bearings are not well suited for getting wet. I had them rebuilt once then decided to find a better sealed bearing setup. I have one stock RCS front wheel with the Novatec 36h hub and one custom built Sun Ringle Mulefüt 80SL 36 hole rim...

I have taken my RCS on many trails throughout Florida. No big downhill stuff in Florida. I have rode on many trails with rocks, roots and drops with the ZTZ shocks and they still hold up. I set my shock air pressure to 120psi. People think it's crazy to see a fat tire bike out on black diamond...

One tip from the conversion experience. The Stans 32mm schrader valve is good but the the locking nut that comes with it is not. I purchased another schrader valve set with O-Ring and nut to provide better sealing against the rim. The Stans rubber is volcanized to the valve stem and the rubber...

Just finished my tubeless setup on the front of the RCS Step Thru. Last week I had the hub replaced with a Novatec 135mm and today the wheel was converted to tubeless. The rim was taped and tubeless valve installed. 8 oz of Orange sealant and the tire is seated on the rim. Wheel is much lighter...

Tubeless is the best choice if you get a puncture. The sealant stops the air from leaking out. Bolton did a really good youtube video on which puncture protection choices worked the best. None of the solutions stopped the tire from going flat but some did better than others. They did another...

Just an update.... Sold Aventon Aventure Step Through and sold one of the two 2019 Juiced RCS. They both sold quickly $1,500 each. We now have one new RCS Step Thru and one 2019 RCS.

30 inch inseam is min for a medium stand over height. You will have to play around with the RAD setup. If you don't know about RAD see the video.
