    Neophyte Knee Pain Fix?

    Side note: I rode Silvio 1.0 for years before getting V20 - and when I did I pushed so hard on 172.5 pedals that I over stressed my knees pretty much immediately. You, Brad, are wise to notice and try to correct this early.

    Neophyte Knee Pain Fix?

    Hey Brad, both knees? Roughly equally? I had inner knee pain several bikes ago - it was "supposedly" to be resolved with shims on my cleats that let my feet stay at a slight angle of approach to the pedal-spindle. It was because of moderate bowleggedness. So - some factors there are perhaps -...

    T-50 Deluxe Black Cruiser - Front Fender

    @Jim Zimmerman, you might want to add a pic of what you have setup now. Of that over-long one that we used for the rear? I don't recall seeing that shorter l-bracket piece in your parts? Thanks @trapdoor2!

    T-50 Deluxe Black Cruiser - Front Fender

    Full disclosure - I was there when these were being "installed" and while I wasn't paying full attention I'll attest to the confusion. Looked at woodys website. Nada. @Robert Holler - is there something in a video we just need to locate? Or...? Parts list? We can hack it as necessary - just...

    Seattle Area Bent UberMeet (SEABUM) - focus Cruzbike T50

    @josh - I'll send you an invite. More thought - since this is a focus on new riders the ride around merger island might be too much. @Bill K has a good idea about the safe streets thing near Seward Park but the 10th is my only good option. The little trail around Seward park however is...

    Seattle Area Bent UberMeet (SEABUM) - focus Cruzbike T50

    hey @ratz - you wanna coordinate a similar event around MN somewhere? Anyone else interested? We could do a virtual meetup? maybe a brief "hangout" via phone just for fun? OR maybe coordinate something on Strava? Just some ideas for fun. oh - and @Joshwhite (just got a Sofrider the other day)...

    Different Gearing Needed for Climbing Hills any Suggestions?

    What length cranks do you have? If you have shorter legs you might be over-flexing (more than 90° bend in your knees) and losing power that way too.

    Seattle Area Bent UberMeet (SEABUM) - focus Cruzbike T50

    I made an event on Facebook today - my first ever. Invited folks in a local Bent group I'm a member of. But...the fact of the matter is most T50 owners are here - so I'll paste my facebook event here too. Send me a note if you plan on coming and I'll make sure to get you the details as they...

    Beware of @ratz and others here trying to sell you on tubeless - the fastest flat-proof(ish) solution. That may be true but there is a planning-curve I'm not (yet) willing to dive into AND in order to be totally bomb-proof you still need to be able to get home with a tube that you have to carry...

    The ENVE graphics look especially nice with the frame paint scheme. Nice choice. I've not heard of those particular tires being fast (at the same level as those wheels anyway) and I'm lazily not gonna go look them up either. ;) Thanks for the perspective as a longtime Bachetta CA rider. My...

    Upgraded S30 Silvio for sale

    @gchichester - @Bryan Schlinkmann just posted one for sale on another thread. Only 700 miles on it but at least 7000 smiles!

    Upgraded S30 Silvio for sale

    @BikeGary - I searched for my post on custom fender fitment and found that I don't have one. It might not be relevant to many/most/all folks anymore - the newer models were able to contribute improved design considerations for things like fenders - but I really should post my setup at least...

    RAAM time to spread the word again about 3000 miles to a cure

    Video has some stunning visuals. Congrats @ratz and Pluckyblonde. one more I saw. " Long before it was cool to call yourself a managed services firm, we <were> out there proactively managing systems."

    Minneapolis Silvio

    Short of living in Portland - where the shop is - you might be in the next best location for concentration of Cruzbike knowledge; @ratz is Cruzbike central (time zone).

    Neophyte in need of Vendetta V20 setup help...

    David, That's where I rigged my light attachment. I don't have a "real" mount for the light I have which can go around that big top-tube. Tape and a helmet mount works well enough. If I manage to ever finish upgrading my back-half garage...errr bike shop...I'll have an impetus to invest more...
