I'm in Ken - Thanks for putting this together. I have only ridden a few times since Oct, so this will be interesting. I went out today - and could barely avg 150 watts- a year ago I could ride 25mph for 4 hours, now I can barely ride 21mph for 1 hour!! :( Now that the Cruzeum building is done...

You do have lots of difference between your V20 and V20C! I am pretty sure the 32mm tires are going to be slower than the 28mm. Add no curved slider, some wheel bearing issues - it all starts to add up. It would also be better to test on a closed loop somewhere - the same day - for a distance of...

The curbed slider makes a pretty big difference, but probably still not as much as your are reporting. In my comparsion, my V20 (too of the slider just above the fork) is also about 1" lower than the V20c. This is beacuse I have the V20 setup in the lowest possible configuration for the slider...

Kurt, Very interesting data - thanks for sharing! If your V20C is a chore to pedal I would look at the BB area. I suspect the bearings may be mis-aligned or too tight in some way. (I had a Silvio that had this problem.) One quick was to check would be to drop the chain and see how freely the...

Here is a time lapse of me setting out all the Cruzbikes (26 of them) for the 1st time

The Cruzeum room is finally done! You can now send me your Cruzbike if you want to include it in the museum! I will be putting my bikes out in the space within the next week!

Hoping to have them in there within a week! It has been a long time coming. :)

I just got done laying the 1000 sf of vinyl plank flooring. Here is a 71 sec time lapse video of about 16 hours of work. I makes it look like it went fast! haha Next up - doors, baseboards, other molding, shower, toilet sink and other bathroom fixtures. Getting close to being done! Maybe I'll...

Coming along. Walls sanded and painted and have now install the T&G ceiling. Here is a 1 min time lapse of about 14 hours of work. Good thing my son was here to help. I still have a bum left knee, so I also wasn't moving too fast. But the time lapse hides that part! haha

Progress has been slow - tweaked my left knee and I can hardly walk. Finally going to an Orthopedic tomorrow as it is not getting better. Still have to get this sheetrock sanded, primed and painted. . Putting Tongue and Groove pine on the ceiling. I did manage to get the shower tiled last week...

It will be interesting to see how many other Recumbents you see there - especially Cruzbikes.

I guess I'll put that in phase 2

I have not planned anything yet for this year - thinking about what to do - I usually do something different every year

Rick Mueller and I plan on being there and riding Sun, Mon, Tues. This will most likely be the first real riding I do since Oct. So far since then I have ridden twice for about 25 miles! It will be interesting to say the least!

Framing is almost complete now - at least I am dried in. Here is a cool video of inside and outside

Thanks for the comments everyone. Now you know why I don't have time to ride. Here is the latest video - wall and roof framing up now!

Many have noticed that I have not been on Zwift or Strava for several months. This has been the longest time off my Cruzbike since I got my first one 8 years ago. Problem is that I am working roughly 6am-6pm doing heavy labor. I tried riding early when I first started but I was just too tired to...

I have begun work on a 50x20 bonus room to my house for the Cruzeum. Hoping to be done by this summer. Doing virtually all of it myself, so no time for riding the last 2 months. :( Gayle can't wait for me to finish so she can get all the bikes out of the other rooms in the house. Here is a...

All I know is I can't ride as fast on Zwift as I can for same power output on on the real road on my V20. If I ride in a large pack and take advantage of the drafting then it is comparable.

It's a Miracle!
