    Well, Ive seen a few about, would be great to combine different parts... I think the 8 fun motor is the one to go for, but being easily able to increase the pedal assistance to say 18-19mph before cutout, I know its illegal, but only just ;) A decent size battery...17ah sounds like the size i...

    Chain stretch?

    Just spent an hour trying to work out how to adjust gears, think I have that finally cracked! I'll keep a close eye on it, especially now i think the gears are setup right. I use wetlube on the chain every 2 weeks after giving it a thorough clean with one of those chain cleaner gadgets

    I can see the perfect bike for me, but unfortunately, its made up of lots of different ones, but yet to see one that I think would be bob on ;)

    Thanks, I think the nearest stockist of the Oxygen to me is in Rotherham, and they offer test rides. I'll try and get something sorted to give it a whirl. I imagine they are easy enough to derestrict in the LCD panel...nothing mad, just a good balance between range and speed.

    Thanks d8veh, honest opinion appreciated. Ill leave that then. How does the Oxygen S Cross MTB fair in comparison? Are the parts really any better than the stealth, or would it jsut have the same downfall?

    Chain stretch?

    The tool only cost £2 ;) But i see your point. So, to get this bike up to standard where it would be good enough for probably 3000 miles a year commuting, would it be worth upgrading any of these cheap parts?

    Just had maybe a mad idea...Maybe a good one... Take the electrics off my stealth and put them on this Barracuda which is no longer used. Seems to have better parts and rear suspension. Biggest problem is where to mount the battery... Sent from my BUSH SPIRA D3 5 using Tapatalk

    Chain stretch?

    Just tried it on Mrs bike...Hardly done any miles and the difference is clear. The tool doesn't drop in at all in hers. Here's a few pics of mine. If i push the tool to the right firmly against the left chain link it shows much less wear. I just don't want to end up replacing the freewheel yet...

    Chain stretch?

    Replaced my chain probably 200 miles ago...tell me this isnt due for replacement already? If i push the back edge of the tool against the chain link it doesnt drop in to the gap...am i using the tool wrong?

    My bike weighs a tonne...although its supposed to weigh 23kg, it feels like a lot more. The cheap ones just dont look like they would take the weight

    It does look a bit like the Rio.... Im liking the option of the 21ah battery, although its another $999 for that. Must be a different motor to yours?

    Shame there are no dealers in the UK for these bikes. Caught a few videos on youtube, and they look really good :) https://shop.juicedbikes.com/collections/e-bikes/products/2017-crosscurrent

    I do need to learn how to adjust the gears properly, I know they wont be right now as I have had to redo the cable as they managed to make a complete hash of that
