Standby the parts list from my new build project is coming. One of the goals was to offer lower-cost options for the cool stuff. I'm building the mide tier (or so I think) and will document the high end and affordable end. While there's a little of that diversity in the design thread, I have...

Getting close now, all cleaned up and organized. Still missing one set of parts. Busy work week, so I think I'll be limited to finishing up the Bill of Materials for the spreadsheet and posting it with the actual builds and some of the deviations. Should begin the actual build next weekend...

I'm told the bike has been rename Karios; and darn if she's not a tron bike in the dark......

Ok fast forward 2 hours of Di2 software upgrades and tuning of the drive train (don't ask) and we have a finished product. Still not please with the busted bolt; but I can't argue with the finished product. With luck we can get some people through the system and learn to ride.

Ok now the fun part. Shimano makes and 11-40T 11 speed cassette so I though sure let's give her some climbing legs we'll put a 36x46 on the front and and 11x40 on the back. Billy goat time with enough to go fast down hill; If we ride this with a DF pace line we might be able to hang on the...

And more wiring..... Suffice it to say if you are in the mess do everything so you never have to so it again. The bike post this will be fully adjustable and I hope to never take it apart again. Di2 the new stuff with semi wireless cool, old stuff not so much, and frankly just by the SRAM at...

Then a bunch of Di2 rewiring. Yes I know this is not build diary quality DM me if you need to tips..... This di2 is so old it's not supported by thhe current software.

First up; a new chain ring and some new wires. After I pulled the nose off. one of the goals here is to make the bike compatible for test riders 5 ft to 6ft 3in. So we need new wires

Funny things happen when you head in one direction and find a problem. I was getting the Silvio 2.1 (aka S29) ready to be more attractive to sell, and I discovered she'd got her last transmission permanently mounted. I was going to put a fresh Bottom Bracket in when I discovered that the bolt...

I think I'm 98%, 1 step 2 step sliddddddddde and clip. Hard on the cleats but worth it for the looks of WTF you get.

Yes sorry about that guys we do have to let new people into the forums. When they fill the form out like a human they get it. Most however are two badly filled out to be humans; it's about 20 signups per day. In the last 3 weeks; 2 real humans

To my eye the entire boom is simply biased too far back. push the whole boom assembly 1-1.5 inches forward and it should pivot up to a more stable. position. With that much leverage being that far back; steering is going to be really twitchy.

QR RIM Or Disc (side mount) ViscoSet is new to me. (Appears stock now on some of the CB Lineup) Read the article, and It appears that the headset works pretty much on any bike with cups and bearing races. Pretty cool; it kind of makes me want to test it on the older bikes. Jim and I could...

We got you covered. Start here: https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/spring-time-learning-to-ride-time.10889/ Run through the protocol and read the thread. Come with questions when you are done. Also, you are learning on the hardest bike, so Go Slow; the videoes make it look fast and easy...

I think that has more to do with the parts variability on the complete bike package for the v20c, Robert's been sourcing parts from high and nigh, meaning random weights so if you quote it someone will complain.

Ok we have the color theme for the bikes.... crap it's plural. I'll just let you ponder the plasti dip for now...... while we wait on UPS.

Yeah sorry he got out of bikes before he could ship any of these. Would have been fun to race against a v20. Alas same wheel size problem. Probably worse.

Depends on the install mine is 20degree in the spin because I make a it that way; but you shoulders are rotated forward and that's the point that causes drag. Measure height of shoulder from ground and height of butt from ground. Subtract (shoulder - butt) and you have the size of your wind...
