    Need a working good 48V CCS battery for a Juiced brand bike that survived a crash

    I have given my crash-survivor Juiced bike to a new American emigre, an AC repairman here in Miami who helped us with an AC replacement. Roland is a super nice good guy so I gave him my bike for free. But the battery has been flat for too long and will not charge. He has got the bike working...

    15 month CCS report: silent running, no issues at all

    Am very happy with the CCS I got some 15 months ago. Have not made any additional mods to the bike for many months now. It is fully perfected for my needs. Added only a motion sensitive alarm a couple of months ago, in adjunct to a ring lock. For my area, the ring lock and motion alarm are...

    Almost a year and about 2k (?) miles with the CCS. A quick visit to update:

    I don't have an odometer, just the CCS stock display. I reset the trip odo regularly, so I do not know my total milage. Have made no more modifications to the bike since before the car/bike crash of late, last Feb. The bike is perfect for my needs and my likes. The ten-speed conversion...

    DIY; fix it yourself, today there is no reason to let it remain broken in the absence of a LBS

    por exemple, and there is so much BIKE DIY info on YouTube today. Not bike related. YOU related. You can fix all simple things, too. We ride things made of wheels that operate by spinning smaller wheels. In our minds and in actual fact these things spin because we made them to do so...

    Bicycle lanes in Chicago, 1897

    What do you think of dedicated bicycle lanes? Would draymen respect them? What about the new self-powered vehicles? Perhaps the first proposal for bicycle lanes, https://archive.org/stream/bearings165181897cycl#page/325/mode/1up Notice, too, the maximum speed of the electric wagons...

    Vendors and users, will you give your thoughts about ultra-visible ebike lighting?

    Here are my thoughts, extreme, perhaps, yet to my thinking these wants are logical and reasonable: First point. It could make a great and perhaps primary selling point if ebike sellers included as standard equipment great quality front and rear lighting, plus side lighting totally...

    The saddle thread: Cloud 9 sizes and images on page three

    I dunno, but I will try Brooks again. Years ago had a sprung, B-66 but it was too wide for my narrow sit bones. Have been riding a fair amount on a narrow, padded plastic saddle and it suits me fine. I do not do well on a wide saddle. However, there is a narrow and firm saddle I am going to...

    How very old is the Gaadi sort of tube?

    The concept adopted by today's Gaddi branded tube goes back to the first two years of pneumatic tire production. https://archive.org/stream/bearings818931894cycl#page/n13/mode/1up The imaged tube was of natural rubber and therefore much more elastic than the butyl rubber used today, which is...

    Juiced Bikes sent me a new display (a demo of ergonomic killassist, throttle button, horn)

    The original display quit working for cause unknown, a failure unrelated to my months-ago cable modifications. Thanks to Juiced Bikes for the replacement display seen here. They did not owe me, my experiments anull warranty rights, but Juiced took care of me anyway. Thanks for that, Juiced Bikes!

    I met Erik a half hour ago...

    Erik was passing down our street 45 minutes ago in Coconut Grove. I happened to be out front setting the barrel out for tomorrow's pickup when I heard the thrum of fat bike tires. Erik is a vet like me (he is AF and I am USNR) and he has a working ebike. I don't mean that mine is broken and...

    Essay: Prevent stripping your bike's threaded fittings

    Please add your own thoughts. Sharing experiences and perceptions helps us all, all around. Stainless steel screws mostly screw things to threaded aluminum sockets or holes in the CCS frame. Please beware because uminum is very soft and can gall, flake off in bits. Unlubricated...

    the Schwalbe Big One / G-One 2.35" 29'er

    I will build this posting form as the day goes on, as I meet with, and maybe succeed against, little problems that will crop up. The goal is to mount Schwalbe Big One 29 x 2.35" tires on both front and rear and without tubes. Am working on the rear wheel first because it poses the greatest...
