    Possible Thor Seat for Vendetta??

    I would be interested if the seat also fit the S30 which I think it would. It would be nice to fit a Bacchetta brain box without having to fabricate something. Also the addition of a multi adjustable headrest would be wonderful. I am always fiddling with the headrest since I have neck and back...

    Seeking to buy used T50 or sofrider (Purchase complete)

    I am 5’6” and a bit and I rode a Sofrider with no issues. It was my first Cruzbike love. The fitting takes some fiddling. I did not have to flip the stem. A picture of you on the bike would help us diagnose the issue and possible solutions. What size cranks came with your bike? Can you bump the...

    Titanium china copy of cruzbike

    It is really sad you did not make it to the retreat. The Cruzbike tribe would have had you up and riding. I have had the exact opposite experience as you. Everything I dislike about diamond frames is fixed by riding my Cruzbike! Maybe it is just not the bike for you? I wish you great joy, on a...

    Crupi short crank questions

    I switched to shorter cranks to shorten the amount of knee bend. I did not notice any change with pedal steer. If you smooth out your pedal stroke; pedal steer goes away. You can also have your handlebars a bit further out with shorter cranks. My right knee is a mess so a shorter knee bend...

    Handlebar configurations--S30, specifically

    It is @castlerobber with a Thor seat and inverted handlebars. A pic of her bike is in the below thread. https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/thor-seat-on-s30v2-vs-handlebar-height.12520/ She will be along shortly and can give you her opinion and whether or not she still has the same configuration.

    Handlebar configurations--S30, specifically

    No, it is not me. It was @castlerobber, I think? I use a Salsa Woodchipper drop bar with about an inch or so cut from the drop. I don’t ride the hoods. I like my arms bent and lower.

    "I can't believe you did all that on a recumbent."

    I have become a source of information for my df friends also. They ask when the farm bike shop will be open. Mostly tire changes, cleaning etc.

    MBB Advantages

    For me, the bike is less twitchy than a stick bike. I think this is because of the front end. The bike feels more evenly distributed. I ride a S30 and a Silvio 2.1. I like the shorter chain and traditional components. I like that I can customize the bike. Raise or lower my feet with different...

    S30 for Sale - SOLD

    I have my pump on the frame holes on my S30. My water bottle is mounted mid way up the seat. I don’t use the water bottle while riding unless I have a hose attached. On my Silvio 2.1, I have the water bottles behind my head.

    S40-conversion to 2x

    I have a Shimano FD r7000 that I just installed on my Silvio 2.1. Super easy to install but a few gymnastics are required to adjust the high and low limit screws. Shimano has a cable adjuster, that is a screw, located by the cable bolt. This eliminates the need for an inline adjuster. They also...

    V20 RD Hanger angle

    Did anyone come up with a solution to the hanger problem with Shimano new derailleurs? Or is the solution to rotate the derailleur and tighten it down? I have the same problem trying to install a new Shimano derailleur on my Silvio 2.1. Thank you
