Has anyone thought of trying packaging air pillows for proof of concept?

Here's one: http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/q-ring-plunge-and-install.8929/#post-114602 Search "Q ring" for more threads.

Did you just call yourself a "derider" Abbott? ;):eek::rolleyes:

Looks like you are not far from Ratz, one of the best Cruzbike evangelists around. PM him & see what happens.

IIRC, Viton has very good UV resistance, though the elastic properties aren't as good as Buna-N. They are a bit stiffer. May be worth a try.

It appears as though someone likes speed and handling. Is that a Boxster S I see?

Abbot, THIS is your trophy, well worth displaying anywhere!

Time to look in the mirror to see why you get chased off.

There are a couple of things that are advised here, that get confirmation from this video. Not sure who here has seen this. I found it interesting!

Alternative solution It will shock you how fast this saw will work! Lightweight, compact, pollution free...unless you have refried beans for lunch...

Sure...

Temps A word of advice: 40 in Florida ain't like 40 in NC. It seems colder to me. Born & raised in the Triangle, moved to Tampa Bay almost five years ago. On our annual Christmas visits back to Raleigh I can walk around in mid 30's weather without even a jacket. Mid 30's here is COLD...

Andrew is right on target I know a fabricator who prototypes everything in wood before he ever orders any metal. Cheap, strong, easy to work, and functional.

Foam instead of bubble I would suggest going to an office supply store and getting a small roll of cohesive foam to repack the frame. Cohesive foam only sticks to itself. If cohesive isn't available, plain foam with tape will work. There is a reason the frame was originally wrapped in foam...

Perhaps... Is that cord wood?

John, I believe To better and more succinctly state your view: "Cruzbike: The Most Efficient Recumbent" says what you want to say.

Not far, not far at all... Dennis, You're only about 4 hours south of the Parkers. It would be worth a weekend trip to see them.

Not far... Being in Snow Hill you're not too terribly far from Lumberton where the Parker's are. This is the CruzBike HQ that Andrew references. Call or contact them. I'm sure they're willing to help.

Thought Would adifferentbent's solution work if rubber washers and nylon lock nuts were used on the lower arms, upper arms, and rack brace? Tighten the lock nuts enough to slightly compress the rubber washers, which should eliminate rattling, while allowing enough pivot to prevent suspension...

Here I go again... I wonder if one wants to mount the brackets outside of the fork if the upper arms can be made to work by using the left bracket on the right and vice versa. If the upper arm tabs are offset from the centerline of the bracket itself, this may work? I dunno...
