Betsy that looks good, going to look even better when you get the new front! Keep us posted

Robert, unless you did the ratz hack to run your shifter cables inside the bars it looks like the shift housings run up the leading edge of your drops. If they do, do you notice the housing under your hands when you pull on the bars for uphill etc? Which way did you route them around your...

Not even Chris is worthy of Thor's hammer. I'm happy with my rubber replica.

My frame is the 2015 V20. 28mm tires (tubeless) in place with ample clearance. Don't know about the 2013, no doubt someone on here has put 28's on one?

I like to think of it as Thor's Hammer, not a mere rubber mallet. That way it matches my bike mechanic skill level and my build philosophy of "if it won't fit, force it!" ;-)

Yep a very pleasant afternoon using the ratz rules for new riders. Pat I hope you get your Cruzbike soon and if ever back this way please do give us a shout out!

Thanks Apollo :)

Finally, some progress! Waxed chains hang from the ceiling, the Schwalbe One 28mm tubeless tires are holding pressure beautifully, a lovely older lady looks on in the background, and the completed V20 frame sits elegantly in the repair stand ready for component installation.

When I lived in Albuquerque a friend had relatives visiting from Germany. They thought a day trip to the Grand Canyon would be good, because, it's just the next state over, yes? Yes, but it's still 6 hours, each way, if you don't stop at all. It would've been a long day.

Yeah I bought mine having never ridden one; bought a used Sofrider more out of curiosity than anything else. Once I got the hang of it (without benefit of Ratz's rules, this was before) I sold my other recumbent, not because the Sofrider was faster but because it was more FUN. Then bought the...

Jackson MS here. How far is that from Lake Charles?

10-4

OP?

Blue Sofrider at 1:04?

Has anyone w a torque wrench quantified 'slightly snug'? :)

All 'heads up', 'trip wires ahead' etc warnings and advice greatly appreciated from everyone! Because of Doug's posted experience I now have a handful of Tektro washers (indeed, straight from Niagara Cycles--great customer service). Because of ratz I will give the BB that came w my crankset a...

Yikes. I know nothing about the need for adding spacers to the bottom bracket. As for brakes....why make a bike that doesn't use the standard brake caliper screw? I did add a washer to the front brake on Silvio 1.5 but no other issues. Also bought brake cable in the 'tandem' length for the rear...

Yup. Not sure how the USS linkage goes. Interesting kits.

Merry Christmas, y'all, and a Happy Cruz Year!

That's pretty cool, I would never have deliberately pulled the stalk off! I really like the Cyclestar too but a more compact/clean look will be nice on the V. Here they are on Softrider, on the stalk but with the mirror itself flipped completely upside down on the stalk for my version of a...
