Before long you will be a pro. Don't overthink the inputs. My daughter who does not ride bikes - at all - and tends to overthink everything to the nth degree (lawyer) got it pretty good first run out of the gate. Definitely wise to always check your though axle. This is something that the folks...

You could get a 2.25 or maybe (?) a 2.5 in there... but I am not sure what the point of that would be. Beyond the 47b range and it doesn't make a lot of sense unless you are riding on the beach.

Well he is already 33 hours in riding at near 25mph average and over 318 miles.... that is next level already.

I.D. - 8mm O.D - 11.8mm Thickness - 1mm The washers are the same ones that are typically used for MTB shock mounting sleeve bolts, so it is likely that a shop that works on/sells MTB's will have these. Not likely a typical hardware will have them.

Hey all - maybe most of you saw in the email - but if you did not, here is a good one to follow along with: https://cruzbike.com/pages/matthew-lefthand?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=campaign&utm_id=01KPG42HY1YCG6T6V7F5K22Q25&_kx=7vIM9neyJi_N5RnK5SLKkOy4uwHVGb3JYUN16Mrw1uE.SDfyx6

One of the main things I see above all else is the slack heatube angle will never allow for proper steering. We have spent well over a decade refining the head tube angle and a slack angle never worked, irregardless of any other consideration like weight distribution, etc.

Your fit looks pretty good IMHO - but you can move the slider back a hair to get your elbows a slight bit more inline with your torso. I would rotate your bars forward a hair as your wrists look cocked over a bit and not "neutral" to your forearm. Those small changes will allow your arms and...

Yes - the rear is 100mm same as the Q and S

Attaching an aftermarket seat - like a hardshell - to the A4x and simply using a different stock diameter 31.2mm tube bent to a different angle to get to 30 degrees would actually be exceedingly simple. The seat rail system (like on the newest T50 and also is on the Meta Mystique and all...

The air shock in mine failed over ten years ago. You can basically leave it (it wont move most likely) or you can lock it in the extended position with a stainless hose clamp (this is what I did) as mine was not "frozen" but had lost all its pressure and could move up and down (it also has...

If it is low mileage and in great shape it is a VERY GOOD first recumbent. One of the reasons I sill baby mine - it is one of my favorite Cruzbikes and one of the best recumbents of the era. It is pre-hydroformed frame design and a real gem. Dual 700c. Lots of positives of this bike. It's just...

There might be some suspension forks around but I cannot guarantee it. That is a VERY early Silvio - it is likely nearing 20 years old - when there were literally often ZERO "spare parts" made for the batches of bikes - and the batches of bikes you could sometimes count on two or three hands...

NICE!!!!

Here are some pics of my experience trying to fit the Growtac caliper. As you can see it would not seat properly and the top interfered just a bit. Also in my case the lower part would contact the gear - even if it didn't have the upper interference. The folks at Bimotal confirmed with me after...

I can confirm with you that the Growtac does NOT fit. I was doing a rear fit attempt on the S40. Indeed our dropouts are not technically designed for rotors that massive - becasue why would they be - though on my A4x there is a few mm clearance for the Bimotal rotor. It's not ideal but would...
