    2 V's in a pod

    I'm guessing having the I'm guessing having the tail-box and aero wheels will be a net plus except for extreme up-hill only routes. (Handing issues not withstanding).

    Proof of Upper Body Engagement

    Suz, I agree with Chris. You Suz, I agree with Chris. You can definitely pound on a Cruzbike. (If you really want a abs workout, push against the handlebars and lift your butt out of the seat. You'll be producing a lot of power for a (very in my case) short time). What I really like...

    Vendetta Di2 Users

    I've a friend who had one and I've a friend who had one and said the Adamo was more comfortable. (It was costing him 15 watts so he got rid of it). And you guys are wusses. That doesn't look painful. This looks painful (and is now on sale):

    chain rings

    I don't believe so (Cruzbike I don't believe so (Cruzbike themselves are of course the people to ask), but it's easy enough to add a triple to it after the fact. It's exactly what I did.

    1st Ride

    I'm not discounting how nice I'm not discounting how nice it is to have >= 3 wheels when it's crappy out, but a fatbike Cruzbike would be pretty frickin' cool. Too bad the conversion kit isn't wide enough... Just sayin'...

    Learning to ride a Softrider

    Just to be clear, I said this Just to be clear, I said this happens with my 48/38/22 triple which isn't OEM. There isn't anything inherently wrong with the front derailleur other than it has a much higher capacity than it ought to.

    Trying to decide

    I do wonder if you gave the This is a good point. There will be a period of transition where you won't be as strong on the Silvio as you are on your roadbike. But you'll start seeing improvements rapidly and be back where you were in no time. p.s. Trikes can climb anything if...
