There's at least one old thread where we beat the subject of Q-ring orientation all to pieces. There should be a link in there somewhere to Rotor's recumbent-setup instructions. https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/q-ring-upgrade-ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.7784/

That's impressive! I can just see you encountering a group of road bikes, and one of the riders turning to the guy behind him, "I didn't know Cervélo made recumbents?" :D

I run my SPD pedals adjusted almost as easy/loose as they'll go. I have the ones that are platform on one side, clip-in on the other (M324?). Never had a problem with pulling out of them unexpectedly--though I don't hammer and sprint a lot, either. Plenty of adjustment range.

True. Used to have park rangers constantly patrolling the area around Jackson, no one dared break the speed limit because they cut you no slack. Federal budget cuts around 2008 stopped that. I practically never see a ranger up there during rush hour any more, on the rare occasion when I have to...

@ReklinedRider has his pickup bed set up to carry his V20. I've also seen it carry a Sofrider, a Silvio 1.5, and an upright bike at various times.

You'll be coming through my part of Mississippi! Will try to get up to the Trace and cheer you on. One of our local upright cyclists, Scott Kuppersmith, rode the whole thing in 22h 14m in 2015.

I'm 5'5", x-seam about 40.5".

+1 to everything @benphyr said. When I was trying to get used to my Q back in 2014, I turned the stem around like that for a little while. Having my arms so far back made my back hurt, right between the shoulder blades, so I switched it back. I put an adjustable stem on the Q, and eventually a...

Original models were Sofrider (no "T", to help differentiate from Softride beam bicycles) and Freerider. I think the difference there was mostly the handlebars. There was also, following that, a V2K frameset of similar style that you could move your existing 26" MTB wheels and components to. S...

@ChaleJake LOL, you know me too well! @CruzinCambridge Yes, I'm still riding that configuration. Adding a stem riser helped with the thigh interference, so I was able to push the bars out a little more to straighten my arms. It isn't nearly as high as the riser your S30 came with, though. You...

I have a Sportwing 2-bike hitch rack, that I saw mentioned in an old forum thread. The bike hangs from two padded hooks by its wheels. Easy to load the bike, and I have no fear of its coming off. The drawback for me is that it's nearly impossible to load both my Cruzbikes at the same time, with...

Telescoping Front Tube, IIRC. The boom/slider combo.

Just spotted an S30 for sale on the Facebook Recumbent Classifieds, in Québec, Canada. $2,200 CAD. Seller's name is Laurent Millot.

I bought one of the then-new Z-jerseys, along with the "vintage" original yellow jersey on clearance, directly from Cruzbike in summer 2015. I got the other Z-jersey in fall 2017. I also have the 2019 Kentucky ride retreat jersey.

My S30 does have a Thor seat. Though Thor doesn't usually care to sit in it. She's never been a fan of cycling. :p

If that V20 is calling you, go ahead and answer. You can always put a wedge behind your shoulders if you need a slightly more upright position.

I also have this jersey, that I don't see an exact match for in your photos: (Guest appearance by my cat Thor)

I have one with the same general look, but minor differences in the cuffs, collar, and front stitching.

Hi, Sue, and welcome! I thought I'd seen pictures of a Silvetta before. If this is the same one, it dates back to summer 2014, and was built by Steve (@scabinetguy). Check out post #4 on this thread...
