I'll try, give me the details.

My RCS's assist totally died on my 3rd ride. No symptoms before that, just no assist. Turned out someone at the factory installed the ECU in the downtube backwards thus crushing the motor wire. Took 2 months of yelling and screaming at Luis (their head tech), my friend who is my Attorney...

If you install a Cane Creek ZS44/28.6 headset with an EC44/30 Crown race, it will allow you to install a tapered steer tube on your RCS like a RShox Bluto or better. Of course you'll need that new hub too

Maybe ebott will hopefully see your post so your explanation can help him out. You could also reply directly to him.

Right, I wasn't implying you could run them simultaneously. This lets you have two batteries on-board and run them independently. It's still called a dual battery kit, just not what you're thinking. It's what ebott was asking about.

There's dual battery wiring kits for the CCX on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/223325725452?hash=item33ff40230c:g:OesAAOSwLNxcPRzd

Ok, you just want to replace the lever itself which Magura calls it a "Lever Blade". See it here; http://www.magurausa-shop.com/subgrouping.htm?cat=22511 If you need further help with it, a phone call to Jude at Magura will help. He's a very helpful guy, however, he doesn't seem to respond...

Can you be more specific about what type of brakes you're trying to fix?

I had this problem, and still sorta have it, and so have some other RCS owners I've talked to. What I think the grinding is caused by is poor fitment of the Shimano 9 speed cassette onto the Bafang hub due to slight manufacturing variations. My guess is it's probably the Bafang hub's...

Yeah, the AAA thing is for those who ride urban on bike paths like I do. But again, if you have an electrical issue far from home, the AAA thing can come in handy.

I found a brand new Wipperman Connex 9SE 136 link for $29.99 with free shipping on ebay. It comes with their master link which requires no tools for a 3-second installation or removal of the chain. This chain is miles better than the KMC OEM RCS chain. You will need to size it with a chain...

The update is basically for the earliest RCSs prior to having a 0 mode and Race mode. If you have these modes, you shouldn't need the upgrade unless you're experiencing issues, like the odometer resetting by itself or other weird LCD display issues.

Well probably, however Wolftick tested most of them (unscientifically) and determined the Bucklos worked better than the Lutu, KRsec, Bolany, etc. so maybe there are differences, who knows. If you disassemble them to remove or replace the rubber spacer, be very careful! Good luck and keep us...

Well, it's like most OEM components that come on an bike that's built to hit a price point. The parts are cheap and they work until they don't one day. The OEM chain on the Ripcurrent is an ordinary KMC roller chain. It's a relatively cheap chain that will stretch, possibly cause shifting issues...

Do you have the Bucklos fork? I hear the company is quite responsive to questions, especially if you ask them publicly on Amazon. There's also a video of some Bucklos owner where he says after a while, the stanchions start to wear, so he lubricated it with fork oil, which fixed it. He doesn't...

Thanks, I'll be testing several alloys. Maybe even carbon fiber if I can find someplace thats even doing cf gears.

I was referring to sound, which I think would be okay with with straight metal toothed gears,as opposed tom the helical gears in the video you attached. Plastic high speed straight (spur-style) gears tend to fail after a few years of use. I cannot think of anything I would like less than being...

We'll find out. Would that be horrible?

I just ordered the Bucklos fat fork on Amazon for my RCS. It has a rebound adjustment and is supposed to be an improved version of the KRSEC fork. It got a high rating on the Wolftick channel on YT. I plan on switching over to a sealed head bearing...

If anyone is interested, I'm in the process of developing a metal planetary gear kit for the Bafang RM G060.750.DC motor to replace the plastic planetary gears it comes with. I'm also testing ceramic bearing and other bearings for the gears as well. After I do testing, I hopefully will be able...
