    Cycle-con 2023 - Xenia, OH - Sept 15-17

    Ugh. Sorry folks but this idea is DOA. So don't get any hopes up. Sadly, I don't have a DeLoean to go back in time and alter the future.

    Has anyone dismantled a Silvio Kindshock fork?

    If you are looking for the Silvio fork (depending on how old of version yours is) we likely have spares that are new/old stock at the warehouse. I would have to see some pics of the for and bike to be sore - the fork/stay interface changed wildly all the time back then...and the batches of bikes...

    unfortunately still zig zaging going occasionally

    Which bike are you on? On the V20 models in particular the fit is critical for leg length and also tiller length on the backside of the steer tube. Over extending the legs and having the bars too far away from you can result in hard handling. Also the position of the arms is critical to the...

    Like flying a helicopter

    Don't overthink it, relax, and don't let the bike ride you. Good work!

    V1, Frozen or locked headset shock

    These forks are old and are not technically designed to be user serviced - so proceed with caution on them if you embark on any disassembly. All suspension forks are wear items (also why we abandoned them over time) as they all eventually become problematic. There are two set screws in the steer...

    Where are Cruzbike V20c made? Which country?

    Taiwan. Which is where pretty much all quality bikes are made anymore.

    Velcro source.

    We have always had to get the velcro we use direct from the folks at Ventist. Getting the high level adhesive stuff in the US is near impossible.

    Front Wheel Slippage - How Serious is It?

    "Front Wheel Slip" is often brought up by folks who have not ridden climbed on a Cruzbike on other forums, etc. I can climb steeper graded on my S40 that would stall me out 100% on any RWD recumbent... so I am already ahead anyway. I have not encounter a climb I slipped on that I would also be...

    Desperate Help for Fit Issues

    Nice! I just finished a fit video for the V20C that talks about this type of alignment - not related to the foot issue but more in discussion of the tiller length. It will be on the Cruzbike YouTube channel probably in a few weeks.

    Seeking advice for new V20c rider

    Its actually the Centos (correct me if I am wrong on your particular one - "Covid Spec" has meant a lot of last minute changes here and there on the last few bike batches) - but if thats the case: https://www.microshift.com/models/rd-r58s/ Max says 30T... I would say you can likely squeeze it...

    CRUZBIKE Sigma

    The "?" on the back says everything and it is my favorite part of the Sigma. Congrats on the build. I have built 2 of them from the same state I sent yours. You can now claim to have passed the assembly gauntlet/ninja challenge.

    Pro Tip - Just Say NO - Tannus "Tires"

    Please... I am begging everyone... just say NO to these ridiculous "solid" tires. "Tannus" or whatever... they are NOT good and also not safe. John Boyd Dunlop invented the first air bike tire in 1887 to save his son from headaches he had while riding his bike on - SOLID tires. His son also...

    "raising the bar" on V20c

    The CF parts only fit one way and are not reversible or rotatable (by design)

    Seeking advice for new V20c rider

    The V20 is the easiest of the bikes to "Fred Flintstone" around on, because the seat angle is so reclined you can sit nearly upright halfway up the seat. Do that and just lift your legs a bit off the ground and get a feel for now the bike rolls around and get used it. After a while do this and...

    Cruzbike weights

    Weights can vary- and for recumbents the total weight is rarely the be all of performance. I would argue that the lightest recumbents are some of the worst, as they are also the most flimsy, especially for a heavier rider or even average weight riders. Also I can climb faster on my S40 than...
