It would be worth asking Robert for the definitive word about swapping in a softer fork, but here is my understanding: the Q45 and S40 share the same front ends--fork, chainstay, boom, slider, and headtube. The Q fork might come with a longer steerer tube to accommodate the more upright seat...

I agree that option three is most ideal. Your road ride and your trainer ride will feel very similar, and the trainer V could be a simpler 1x setup. For your Zipp 303s wheels, if they have the Zipp 76/176 hubs that are standard spec for the 303s wheels, all you should have to do is swap the...

I tried to take a pic from a similar angle. The bars I use (Genetic Digest flared drop bar--weird name, nice bar) flare a little more outward at the bend, while the Cruzbike stock bar seems to either point straight ahead, or even turn a bit inward at the bend. A more outward bend allows you to...

Ditto. No problem.

I use the G1 Mips. The Vento Kineticore, Z1 Kineticore, Strada Kineticore, and Sphere Mips all have adjusters that aren't where the headrest is.

I use certain model Lazer helmets because the retention knob is on the top of the helmet, instead of at the back. I have no interference with my V20c and S30.

Your add is coming through fine. I have sold a few Cruzbike things over the forum, but sometimes an item will just sit. I'll give it time, and knock the price down once or twice, but if that doesn't work, I will switch over to eBay. The audience is much bigger, and things will usually sell...

Well done. But be careful; because it's so long-haul comfortable, the V20c can turn you into a mileage junkie, and you find yourself shopping around for double centuries.

You might receive several different answers to this. I have stayed with mechanical shifting. I am sure that the electric shifting is nice, but it solves problems I just don't have, and I don't want to deal with battery levels and the possibility of getting caught out without juice. Just one...

I've done it. Not easy, but doable. It took time and patience. I cannot remember which direction of feeding the housing ended up working for me. I recently bought this fairly inexpensive tool (link below) off of Amazon and used it to build a road bike with fully internal cable routing...

It usually depends on the hub brand. Most big name hub brands, like DT Swiss, i-9, Chris King, Bitex, offer various cassette bodies compatible with their hubs to convert from one platform to another. Lesser known, usually budget hub makers...not so much. I looked your hub up, and found that...

For me, I think the trick is having the readrest set in a spot where my face is tilted forward enough that more air goes over the front/top of the visor, pushing down on it than the amount of air coming in under the visor to push it up. If, when going downhill, I tilt my head back/up a bit...

Hi @RobbieTunes As you've probably noticed, you will get various answers from different riders, based on how they have found their way. Here is my two cents: 1. Fit took a fair amount of trial and error. My approach to setting the bottom bracket placement is to put it out just a bit too...

Correct about counterleaning. On upright, diamond frame bikes the wisdom is to weight the outside pedal during turns while keeping the body fairly upright as the bike leans and dives into the corner. When I figured out that leaning on the outside edge of the Cruzbike's seatpan while keeping my...

Welcome aboard. My first ride on a V20, eight years ago, was 7 miles on a 6 mile road--that's how much I wobbled. Perhaps the scariest ride of my road riding life. About a 1000 miles later... piece-o-cake. It takes time, patience, and a fair amount of repetition to create the new brain...
