I just realized, reading my initial post, that I failed to mention that I contacted Abus USA by phone to begin with, but that they could not answer my question. The person that I spoke to said that he had made the same mistake himself when he bought a clamp for his bike. He did say that the...

Thanks, Neil! I have 2 Abus locks, one is the long U-lock and the other is the extra-long folding lock, plus the nutfix seatclamp. I would like to add a lock to the front wheel, and maybe the rear, eventually.

It was too late to change my order, so I ordered the 31.8. When it arrived, at first glance it was a hair small, but we got it on there. It was (literally) a bit of a stretch. My husband used to work at our lbs when he was young, so he knew how to get it on there without hurting it, or the...

Thank you so much, Ebiker01! I am going to change my order right now, if its not too late!

Or even how the Abus Nutfix clamps are measured, inside or outside diameter? My CCS has a seatpost diameter of 27.2. After much searching, somewhere online I saw a recommendation for a 28.6 clamp, so that is what I ordered. I could see that it was too small without removing it from the package...

My CCS developed a little "tic tic tic" sound coming from the back wheel at right around 275 miles. I am pretty sure that it is a spoke. When I am off of the bike, or have all of my weight on the pedals, the noise stops. I felt the tension on spokes when it was new, and they were all tight and...

I used to have a collection of my old helmets that I kept to remind myself why I wear a helmet. There was the one with the big dent in front from that inconvenient tree branch, the cracked one, and the one with the rock embedded in it. Those works of art were all created using my non-electric...

Interesting. I haven't compared my smartphone readings yet. If they are too far off, I may want to change the CCS and Bell later. When they did not agree, it was distracting and annoying. Now that they are the same, I am much happier, haha. In the past I have read that the computers set with a...

I have been dialing in all the little details that make my CCS ride and feel the way I want it to. Yesterday I decided that the brake levers need to be moved more toward the center of the (stock) handlebars so that my fingers are in a better position on the levers, because right now they are way...

Because I want an odometer on my CCS, I bought a Bell Dashboard 150 cycling computer. I want to have it calibrated with my CCS' computer so that they show the same speed, and are recording the same number of miles. With my other bikes, I have always done a roll-out measurement to get the right...

I am all over the map on this. I use eco and 1 when riding on the paths, in the park and in town when I am not out on the road (parking lots). 1 and 2 when I am not in a hurry, on not-so-windy days when I just want to enjoy the ride. 2 and 3 when it is windy, hilly or both. 3 and S when I am in...

Thanks for the chat! Imho, the world could use less latenight shows, and more ebike talk. But that's just from my weird little window on the world, haha.

Thanks! That is very interesting.

There is one just above the fender boss, and one up high. I asked at my lbs, as I am going to add a computer, and he thinks that they are for cable routing. Has anyone used these when installing a computer?

I had the same problem with mine, and fixed it by slightly bending the stay on the side that was rubbing.

Crosscurrent S with the 12.8ah battery.

I bet someone is busy building it right now...

Wow! A that is a sport not for the faint of heart! How much do you have to trust your buddy to pull that one off? Thanks for sharing.

Neat video! Looks like a wonderful place to ride, even more fun on a CCS. Thanks for the video! Your mention of deer reminds me of a ride I did on my traditional MTB one time when a Bambi-like fawn trotted alongside us for a few seconds. We were moving very slow, and got a really good look at...

Hi, AlanDB. That Gazelle Arroyo looks like a real pleasure to ride. Let everyone here know how you like it, when you get a chance to ride it. Happy Riding!
