I'm curious about how these I'm curious about how these work on recumbents. I watched the video about looking forward but kept noticing they were looking down and to the right quite dramatically. Just sitting on the bike, I'm thinking you'll do the same thing if you wear it up around your elbow...

Considering slow speed Considering slow speed handling is probably harder, I'd say she is doing remarkably well. -Eric

Hi Ken,I have found my Hi Ken, I have found my Vendetta pretty easy to transport. Currently I take both wheels off and carry it in the back of my Chevy Equinox with one of the rear seat backs folded down and the frame sitting in that space (running fore and aft). Doesn't take long and is...

I'll try another edit and I'll try another edit and we'll see what happens. -Eric

Hmmm, I added photos to this Hmmm, I added photos to this post on 3/15/2014: http://cruzbike.com/transporting-vendetta#comment-24816 -Eric

I really like the blue I really like the blue Sofrider color and it looks good in this video with Maria: -Eric

I use a Mac at home and I use a Mac at home and haven't had any problems lately. Still about the same on my iPad though. Edit: Immediately editing seemed to ellicit the behavior seen on my iPad. I went to the Admin Forums page and then entered this thread again and clicked the Edit button...

YAAAAAAAYYYYY! Good on you, I YAAAAAAAYYYYY! Good on you, I think you'll have a blast. Cheers, -Eric

Yes, I agree. It was the Yes, I agree. It was the concept of FWD/MBB that first attracted me and won me over to Cruzbike. I was never fond of the look of RWD recumbents with their long chains, idlers and such. The configurations where you have to worry about heel strike or chain...

Commuting is what works for Commuting is what works for you and what you need to carry and is easy, and a bonus if it is fun and cool. For example, when I was closer to work I did 30-40 minute commutes on my Mobiky (@14-15 mph, passing several slow DFs): When I got to work, I...

I think the lowest seat angle I think the lowest seat angle is more a goal of least aerodynamic resistance for higher speeds, particularly into the wind. I could get the Quest seat back really, really low but then I looked like I was riding with ape hangers and I felt the need for a...

I didn't care for mine and I didn't care for mine and just kept my SRAM Rival brakes. Maybe I just got a bad lot but only one of the bushings in the red pieces moved freely (4 per brake, 8 total so 7 "stuck"), the mount bolts were both the same length and they didn't seem to want to disassemble...

OK all you road warriors. I OK all you road warriors. I will point out you now have approximately 11 weeks until the N24HC here in Michigan. Or if you want to start off short fast instead of long fast the Waterford, MI HPV races are about 7 weeks away. We could shoot for a 23+ mph hour TT...

Pinch tabs and light mount Rotate the pinch tabs on top and, besides being symmetrical with the riser tabs instead of offset, you might be able to also use it for a light mount - with an aero housing of course. -Eric

Cruzbike Quest Climbs Fast Too I haven't ridden any other type of recumbent than a Cruzbike so I can't comment about how fast these things are compared to other recumbents but I can say that BOTH the Quest and the Vendetta climb fast. Here is a little hill that is along one of my normal...

Yes and reversing the sides Yes and reversing the sides where the levers normally go results in the lever contours "fitting" into your grasp really well. But you are right, adjustment takes a little finesse to get acceptable brake feel. I would like to find a solution with this kind of fit...

Vendetta bullhorn brake I have small hands too. Here is a photo of the brake lever reach on my Vendetta: -Eric I'll replace this with a better photo later... I normally grasp the lever with all 4 fingers but tricky to photograph oneself. I am grasping both brake levers...

Hmmm, I may want to try those Hmmm, I may want to try those dropped bullhorns to see if they feel any different from mine. I'm banking a good bit here so it throws the perspective off a little but everything from hands, arms to shoulders is very comfortable and not really quite as high as...

FWIW, I was quoting the width FWIW, I was quoting the width of my Vendetta Origin 8 drop bar from the number etched on them... -Eric

Quadlock looks like a good Quadlock looks like a good candidate for you: -Eric
