    Juiced CCS Squeaky front wheel/brake?

    Good to know! Same as motorcycle brakes then... I’m feeling more confident to adjust the brake pads myself and think I can eliminate the squeak. Do you notice this on your disc brakes, Bruce?

    Juiced CCS Squeaky front wheel/brake?

    All very valid points sir! I suffered my first day with incredible saddle soreness until i spent hours on youtube and adjusting my seat height just right. Now today after a several hour ride, no pains. I never knew just how complex something as seemingly simple as replacing my car with a bike...

    Juiced CCS Squeaky front wheel/brake?

    Ok upon close inspection I can see exactly what the issue is for why the brake is squeaking on a slow roll. Forgive my layman’s terminology, but the silver metal disc (rotor?) is contacting the black piece (brake pad?) slightly at a certain place. Have to roll slowly to hear it but i can feel...

    Juiced CCS Squeaky front wheel/brake?

    Yeah I’m going to take it to a LBS so they can make sure everything is aligned properly, just to be safe. Don’t think it should be doing this practically right out of the box and don’t want to mess with it myself until I really know what I’m doing (newbie over here)!

    Juiced CCS Squeaky front wheel/brake?

    Hey all fellow CCS owners.. I have had mine for just 2 days and absolutely love it. Except this morning on my second trip out I noticed the bike squeaks when walking the bike over a certain spot of the wheel it seems... Also then when I ran some errands with it i noticed the front brake...

    Thanks for sharing this video,Reid! I also bought a foldy lock for my CCS.

    Most powerful ebike ~$3k for groceries and in-town errands?

    This is actually something I was thinking about as well, and was wondering how stable they are... my journey to both Sprouts and Whole Foods is only about 4 miles each way and the pavement is quite nice and new here in Vegas, so that makes me think it would be a good option. Could really load it...

    Most powerful ebike ~$3k for groceries and in-town errands?

    Great suggestion, have definitely seen lots of people with the juiced bikes and i really love those Wald folding baskets... how convenient to be able to fold them in when not on grocery runs. Looks like it would fit quite a lot of groceries and if I combined that with the front basket, I would...

    Most powerful ebike ~$3k for groceries and in-town errands?

    I would be fine with an all-urban bike, but I was under the impression they are all limited to 20mph unassisted due to legal restrictions etc, but that you get around that with the off-road ones with more torque, bigger motors, 35mph+. Also the Biktrix I am considering (juggernaut classic HD)...
