I'm running 2.5 bar (36psi) on 40-559 tires, which is the recommended inflation on the sidewall. Sunlite tire on Alrexrims MD23 wheels. Very comfortable. 42 teeth single, guarded crank ring with 11-34 cassette (I think). SRAM 8-speed grip shifter and SRAM X3 rear derailleur. Climbing my...

What did you do to get the seat to recline so far? Didn't look like a reasonable way to trim the rear strut assembly. Can you take photos of what you've done and post them? -Eric

Got both bikes completely assembled and adjusted. Interestingly, the second T50 didn't have the same problem as the first T50. Seat skewers went in fine, steerer extension wasn't as tight although I figured out a better way to avoid binding is to use a curved file on the inside of the extension...

The T50 is easy to no-hands.... -Eric

Interesting design. If that is indeed a pivot at the base of the seat and adjustment slots at the back, look at how how far his seat can be reclined from the shown position. Presumably combined with a commiserate raising of the bottom bracket but I can't tell if the front seat lip would dig...

Not even. That pool would melt. That molten wax is hot!

T50 waxed chains waiting for assembly :) Ratz is not allowed to make garage comments...

That particular roll was after 2 1/2, maybe 3 cups of Sweet Marias Ethiopia Yirga Cheffe Araya Buna. ;)

Of course. I think I said that earlier. You have the aero advantage of the velomobile but without the significant weight penalty but a lot still depends on the quality of the rider. There have been some F40s racing at the MHPVA and other locations in the past. You can look at the HPRA Track...

T50 cushion is a single thicker piece of the very light weight open-cell foam. No second, thin base layer of dense closed-cell foam and the cushion cover has no embroidery and the sewing seems less polished. I think the cushions should have the same quality apparent in the Cruzbike cap...

I think you stuttered with your decimal points mister... :eek: -Eric

I already had him Googling Compass Rat Trap Pass 58-559 tires last night. :p -Eric

I bet that is fun in the winter. Where in Michigan? I'm in Brighton. -Eric

Robert should replace that one. It should not have any slits in it.

I was thinking about mounting two 58-559 Compass Rat Trap Pass tires on my T50. I have one in the package still that I bought for the rear wheel of my velo. I was thinking about mounting it temporarily on the front wheel of my second T50 and see if it fits. Looks like the fork crown might be...

Yes

OK, what are you velcro-ing the pad onto? -Eric

I bet Bob opens his T50 box before September. If he doesn't Tanya might. o_O For the Axiom rack, the two forward tangs probably mount to the threaded holes in the seat stay clamps. There are threaded holes on the inside and outside. I'm guessing the rack will use the inner mount points. You'll...

I'm sure Robert already trimmed your steer tube as part of his pre-assembly steps. The foam grips on my black T50 are growing on me but I agree about the seat cushions, the quality has eroded from the early days and Cruzbike really needs to address it. I would get the Ventisit, those things are...
