Congrats and welcome to the Tribe!

All I can say is: WOW Ken!

Yeah - there's that too!

Just how John built it I guess (probably easier) - - But my wife's ICE trike only has front brakes too, although the rear wheel has a parking brake. I have not noticed any issues while riding it.

Here's the tilting trike rear end I commission John Morciglio to build for the Magic (Cruzbike FWD/MMB prototype from several years ago. It is only about 1mph slower than without it, which makes it about as fast as my Vendetta. The front end actually tilts while the rear stays upright and there...

Welcome to the tribe Lorenzo. I have some experience on a S40, but more on a V20 - however I learned on a Silvio 2.0 8 years ago which is pretty equivalent to the S40. My answers: Your chain length is determined by the length of your chainstay and also you gears. I am really short and ride a...

That is a steal based on the current UK-US exchange rate - close to $1000!!

Hey Cliff, Great ride report and sorry for your problems. Looks like we both rode great 12+ hours of a 24 this year and ended early dur to vision issues. Question: You described people riding together during the event. I was under the assumption that "TT" in the event title meant "Time Trial"...

You will be able to develop your "bent legs" on this. I have trained on a RWD bent some winters and turned around and rode my V20 - however the seat and BB were pretty much the same. I am unsure if it will "feel" any different when you get on your S40. We'll look forward to hearing back from...

I have had both and did much testing side by side many years ago. The M5 CHR had a Kent Polk railgun seat and tailbox, setup with gunner grips, and 140mm cranks - I think the seat angle was about 6 degrees My biggest challenge with the M5 was that I am 5'7". It is really build for taller...

Welcome - I can only affirm what has already been said above. When I got my first Cruzbike (Silvio 2.0) 8 years ago I did not have any bent experience. I am not what I would call a natural balancer kind of guy either - could never ride a wheelie. It took me 10 days riding a little loop in my...

This was also quite controversial as records go. Most record keepers agree that you are not allowed to fair any part of your body - only the bike. Somehow helmets became acceptable (mostly because UCI allowed them I think)). - Sometimes it is a hard distinction. A tailbox causes much controversy...

I tried something a little more crude (2 little bottles cut to fit on bottom of my shoes) in the WindTunnel that the Cruzbike Team and myself were at many years ago (A2 WindTunnel in Charlotte, NC). We saw no effect - actually there were detrimental I also shaped some smaller ones (that just...

This is probably because you asked for a "front" wheel instead of the "drive" wheel. I'll bet they think you wanted a non-drive wheel (=standard bike front wheel)

In my 8 years of riding a Vendetta this is really the first issue I have never had a headrest issue. I think the V20C frame config is just a tad different and using the stock headrest leaves me looking slight up (not straight forward like I normally do) - so I tried adding more padding to push...

It really depends on how quick you want to sell it. I would suggest starting at about $700 under what you paid for it. The buyer will usually pay for packing and shipping. REI stores do a pretty good job of packing for about $50 or so. Bike Flights is usually the cheapest way to ship a bike -...

Looks great! Enjoy going fast on it!

Here is my ride report from my successful sub-24-hour completion of the 2022 Natchez Trace ride. https://docs.google.com/document/d/17tg4ECM2IFDTDLP7PPRFVXlxjzWcVYn9hFweOXx3SgY/edit?usp=sharing

This is officially a proto-type Cruzbike designed in combination with myself, Jim Parker and John Morciglio. John M built 4 of them as proto-types several years ago. Since then he has built as least one other one for a customer. I had hopes the lower bike would be attractive to the racing/go...

Yeah - like 2 to 3 times longer is my experience. Wax worth it's weight in gold!
