Doug, did you run the rear brake cable housing through the frame? Or did you terminate the housing at the frame with ferrules and just run the cable through the frame? -Cliff

What is the length of the standard/medium chainstay of the original S30 (the one with front shock)? -Cliff

Victory! I cleaned up the outside of the non-drive wheel, inserted a tube, pumped it up and it seated easily. Getting one side un-seated to remove the tube was a bit harder than a standard clincher. With the tube out and residual sealant still in the tire it seated with the compressor without...

I borrowed a compressor from a friend. The tire on the drive wheel popped into place without too much effort and without any sealant. The tire on the non-drive wheel did not. I tried first without sealant, applying the Schwalbe lubricant along the beads as a pseudo-sealant, for about a...

I tried installing a Schwalbe Pro One on one of the Acebike wheels. I used 21mm Silca tape and Schwalbe soap on the beads. The tire went on easy, maybe too easy. Schwalbe directions say fill the tire with air to snap the bead into the channel in the wheel before adding sealant. I can't get the...

Will the Moose Pack hold a water bladder?

Here it is: http://www.tradewindsports.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Leong-14-UNPUBLISHED-PhD-Oval-vs-round-sub-max-and-max.pdf My interest in this subject is mainly the influence of noncircular rings on stress/strain/pain of my knees. I think Tables 3.3 and 3.2 indicate that the noncircular...

I need to get a new rear derailleur for my S30. I've been using a SRAM X7, and I find that it often mis-shifts, so I'd like something better. I'm running 10-speed, 11-36 rear, 34/50 compact. I wouldn't mind going to a cassette with a 40 or 42, but I'd rather not have to switch to 11-speed...

Any thoughts on this? http://trstriathlon.com/elliptical-chain-rings-dont-work-because-you-wont-let-them/ -Cliff

Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes and advice. I've heard that the REI in Berkeley does work on recumbents, so I'm going to take it there for a professional opinion. I didn't file a police report. Oakland PD is probably pretty busy with bigger issues. I talked with my insurance agent, and he...

I was hit by a GMC Denali on the way home from the office this evening. I'm OK, just a contusion on my right thigh and a bit of a sore right knee. But the front wheel of my S30 went under the front wheel of the Denali. The wheel is shot and the RD hanger is badly bent. I suspect that the RD may...

Thanks to @RojoRacing , @ratz , and @bazzawill . New wheels are on their way! -Cliff

Looks like we crossed paths on Saturday. I was one of the Grizzly Peakers. No fenders on my bike, though.

Is it this one for the non-drive wheel: 5/100 MM FIFTEEN / TRICON QR FRONT Part. No.: HWGXXX0002328S Convert this product into 5mm QR

Thanks for the help. Which size end cap fits the Cruzbike frame best?

I'm thinking I'd like to copy Rojo's choice of wheels since I need disc brakes for the hilly terrain and I really want to try tubeless (6 flats last week) and I may as well get aero wheels if I'm going to change them. But the DTSwiss hubs that support disc brakes are 142*12 and @Robert Holler...

@RojoRacing, have you run tubeless on your Acebike wheels? If yes, how did it or has it worked out? -Cliff

I commute on my S30 2-3 times per week. I use the Cruzbike Scarab Bag to hold a laptop (13" Macbook Pro), pants, and shirt. It fits under the low part of the frame (you can see it in my profile photo). I put shoes, socks, underwear, wallet, etc plus tools in a Bacchetta Brain Box on the back of...

How does SRAM Blackbox GXP compare with XD-15? Have you done a side-by-side? I recall a video with a side-by-side, but can't remember if it was the Blackbox GXP.

Did you every have any correspondence with them? I've sent them a message via their website plus two emails with no reply. -Cliff
