This thread is a perfect example of why I heart this cruzbike forum. Solid advice, legit passion, down to earth practicalities. I’m guessing you will be competitive, from a performance perspective, sooner than you think. Your mindset is the reason. Dive in and adjust. You’ll likely need to...

And because it’s freakin awesome to wear a Z on my chest. ;) Src: my last name starts with Z.

@Robert C - I’m recently pretty infrequent on the forums but always interested in a meetup ride. Send me a PM if you get anything on the books. And welcome! I have no proof but I think the Seattle area is one of the most dense with Cruzbikers around.

Sorry to report that I will not be able to make this years retreat. :( Too many conflicting responsibilities. I'll be thinking of ya'll and look forward to some pics.

@RRV - oh yeah! Thanks for the report and the memories! My avatar pic is of me riding through snow canyon the year I did HooDoo500. I walked one hill at the end of Day 1 (wrongly-geared at 36/28 if memory serves in my low end) and was better for it. That descent tho...yeah; it was awesome. I...

Alright - too many folks can't make it. Next opening I have is Sep 25/26th This summer seems like it has 2 summers worth of activities...oh that's right; it does.

@rx7mark thanks. I totally dropped the ball. My August and September are pretty well full but I still have July 24/25th open. Michael, the only other respondent on LettuceMeet indicated that he is not available on those days. My fault Michael. Sat 24th 10AM (+/- an hour) at Cascade Bicycle...

You know...this is one of those lessons in Bike Inspection. I rarely do enough of it but it is SO important. Thanks for showing us how it's done Tor and +1 for the Cruzbike Tribe.

I’m planning to attend the ride retreat this year too. Looking forward to some time with my peeps.

Done. Good call.

Will do. Shouldn’t have to register or pay anything. Just set your availability using the button at bottom. Then just a name (no email) is all that is required if you continue as guest. either way- I’ll update here with the date. Thanks.

alright - @LarryOz / @Maria Parker - time for a 2021 sticky post? Retreat is only ~5 months away.

@billyk @rx7mark @Robert O who else?

I see a couple old meetup posts in here - but this is regular enough that I'll just start this one thread and update it each time we want to get together. Starting this one then for Summer 2021 - I put together this LettuceMeet.com page https://lettucemeet.com/l/eDnpv Use that page to select...

Yeah - a seattle group ride really has to happen. This summer needs to be 2X longer in order to fit in last summers' activities I think. :D I'll put together a date-picker-page and post it somewhere and tag ya'll. And yes, my V20 has been inoculated against all human borne virus' - no mask...

This is one side. Assuming the one you have in there is the female-threaded through bolt?

just when I thought I'd seen all the ideas. Perfecto! Enjoy.

When I did this I just about crashed...every...pedal...stroke for 30 meters. Rode it enough to reaccustom myself and then promptly gave that bike to my uncle. Never again. :D @billyk - I know a guy near you (ahem) who has a couple V bikes you can try out any time you like. Mine is perhaps too...

Not an expert on this like @ratz or @Robert Holler but I think the weight savings came from the boom changes and seat. The aero improvements I think came from slightly longer wheelbase and slightly more reclined seat angle - closer to 20º IIRC. I didn't search either <grin> but there were some...

This happened to me on a v2. I had to take off the front triangle - built a jig to hold the bb end of the top tube, stood on that end and then pulled on some spare handlebars I installed in the other end. I got it loose with lubrication and steady upward pressure and the leverage of the...
