    20” wheels?

    Small wheels don’t roll over bumpy surfaces at all well. They have a smaller contact patch and wash out easier too. Lowering pressure sufficiently for a comfy ride means pinch flats. I run a hurricane bike and gto trike with 406 wheels. They do spin up fast. You can certainly fit wide tyres 406...

    Playing with the Q45 shock

    Here’s the new DNM shock with remote lockout fitted to sofrider v3. So far so good. I run only 100 psi and the remote lockout is okay bit cheap but in operation is a boon. I run 150 psi on the DNM hurricane shock.

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    You don’t need a Thor seat to fit a bachetta brain bag. Make a paddle to fit pocket out of aluminium flat bar. Use cruzbike plastic p clips that fit on neckrest to mount paddle. Bag sits under top lip of neckrest. don’t put a rack on a tt bike. Lol. It’s been done before. Heck I put...

    V2 vs V20 - what are the differences?

    hi billy. Here is my impression. Yes it does stick in your lap the more horizontal the boom. That can be awkward if you have a belly. It also makes sitting up harder and getting in rather than on bike. But it’s safe and you can comfortably sit up on back of oem seat. Some stomachs and unique...

    V2 vs V20 - what are the differences?

    no you don’t need new fork. See pics. Contact cruzbike and also robert holler. They may have an old V2 chainstay around as a first option. Otherwise do as @chicorider indicates. Bike looks fantastic by the way. I can tell you the large chainstay of the V2 in comparison to the large chainstay...

    They stole my Silvio

    This building of bikes is usually vicariously pleasurable. However being a victim of theft and covid short supply and finally incompetence.... well I’m feeling your pain anguish and I’d be upset. Abhorrent theft it just is inexcusable. Your loss will always sting. Rotten bastards. Karma on...

    V2 vs V20 - what are the differences?

    best ask @DavidCH he has done this and reported on it. should you get a v20 is a rhetorical question. what is wrong wrong with your big boom . sure it’s bigger and has a bigger radius and is a little clunky. But.......it’s yellow with a killer graphic.
