It works just fine. Shifts crisply and reliably.

My older frame also only fits a 700 x 30. I have a set of 26x46 wheels for gravel and 650b x 38's for road. Both wheelsets are really fast.

I have a QR model S40 that came stock with the asymmetrical 42t SRAM single crank. I have some hills my area and I anticipate taking this bike on multi-day tours so I switched to a SRAM Rival front derailleur, FSA 48/32t dual crankset, with a 11-50t Shimano Deore cassette and rear derailleur...

It's no longer for sale. I bought it. It's in my garage.

I am interested in your S40. I live in Chantilly, VA 20151. Looks like it's about $247 for shipping through bikeflights.com, if the bicycle is packed in a standard bike box. If you're concerned about scammers, we can use escrow.com. I've used it in the past when selling a Cruzbike through a...

Replaced shock with 22mm diameter solid aluminum bar. Schwalbe Big Ben tires provide plenty of cushion. Went around for a short 7 mile ride in the neighborhood. Noticed more power while climbing. Now I need go for a longer ride to see if it works.

This is great information! Thank you for the link for the bar and the tips! I just ordered the bar and a drill guide. I hope I can achieve a stiffer ride. I have the Thor seat and have fashioned custom mounts from material at the hardware store. I’m thinking of buying a 3D printer to fashion...

The site says the A4X frame will take a 24 x 2.6" tire and gives specs for a 650b wheel. What width tire can the frame accommodate for a 26" wheel?

Wow, Mahesh! It looks like a great ride for your Cruzbike! Your S must get a lot of stares there in rural Karnataka. I know that when I ride my Brompton anywhere in India, but especially around Belgaum, I am the spectacle of the week.

Take a look at my post on this forum about riding the GAP and C&O on my Q45.

What I like about the A4X frame is it closely resembles the V2K frame. I bought the conversion kit back in 2008 and built a few versions of my Cruzbike using Y-frame donors before buying the V2K frame. It was the most comfortable cruzbike for distance riding and touring on mixed terrain. I put...
