    What crank arms/ should I use?

    Thanks for the tips. That's saves me the frustration of finding both too short while in the middle of a build. I'm curious, what method did you use to add the extra links? Quick links or did you buy new pins or did you reuse the old pins? I'm unfamiliar with SRAM products. When looking for...

    What crank arms/ should I use?

    You may need extra chain. On my V20c with SRAM Eagle 10-52 with 46 tooth chainring and standard chainstay, the 126 link chain was just enough. But when I had on a larger chainring, I had to add a few links. So I made three chains from four and cycled through them, fresh waxing in between. Also...

    Does anyone else have a design Wishlist for the next model of Q series?

    ...Slovenia) on a couple of Q45s with Rohloff hubs and Gates belts. They were fantastic. The gear ratio we used was determined by the chainstay length and it suited us well. We are slow riders who enjoy the scenery but not the hills, so having a lower gear range than the stock standard worked...

    V20c tire clearance and wheel sizes

    ...chainstay decreases tire clearance from the chain in the lowest gear(s). ¿And has anyone tested smaller wheels on the V20c? Wheel size should have a similar effect to chainstay length. Smaller wheels should allow for more tire clearance from the frame but less from the chain at the lowest...

    S40 for sale in NJ. 07083

    Thanks! I’m working hard on selling a nice guitar to fund this. I gather you’re tall. I’m not, so I guess I would just swap to the shorter chainstay? I’m 5’6. Also, do you know the crank length? Not all that important. Just curious. A lot of people run these with crazy-short cranks.

    New Guy - lots of questions

    ...Or is this also an adjustment thing? I watched the fit videos and saw how the various sliders and clamps are used to set position. I am 6 feet tall (183cm). Edit: It it just occurred to me that chainstay length options are for tall or short people. I assume medium is what comes with my order.

    New Guy - lots of questions

    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...

    looking for medium chainstay

    Hi Don I think I can help, the V I bought of Jon D had a chainstay that was too long for me, I'm 174, I bought one to suit me but still have the longer one. I can't recall which length it is but I think Jon is about your height? If you're interested I'll dig it out and measure it for you.

    The new-ish V

    ...discussion in this thread. It would be helpful when discussing fit that posters mention their particulars, height and X-seam. Chainstay length is a crucial option when considering proper fit on a Cruzbike and it's important to know what size the rider actually is. If I'm not mistaken...

    Trim for speed

    ...is faster. I think personal comfort, power output, and general preference are more important than the aerodynamics resulting from chainstay lengths. As they found out from their 2017 wind tunnel tests a higher BB can bring the "knees into the clean airstream above (the) shoulders" while a...

    2022 Vendetta V20c with carbon fiber front end

    That is true - it only has one position - this makes it nice as you don't have to figit with getting it lined up correctly. Curved slider and longer chainstay - I suggest just emailing Cruzbike and ask them if it available. I think it might be available even if you don't see a part for it on the...

    V20 for Sale in Florida - SOLD

    Some additional information that may be helpful, based on questions I've gotten. There is only one size V20, that I know of. There are different length chainstays, and I think mine is a medium. It is 19" from skewer to crank. But the leg length is primarily accommodated by extending the boom...

    How to make your Vendetta as fast as possible

    Oh, nice, thanks, I will contact them. Interesting. Mine is, I'm pretty sure, the standard chain stay. Here's a photo, anyone with knowledge have any thoughts on whether the longer chain stay would improve matters? The little reading I've done it seems riders have issues with low speed control?

    How to make your Vendetta as fast as possible

    As Matthew said the proper chainstay length will probably make you a bit more aero. Do you know if your chainstays are the long or short ones? If they are the short ones you might be able to find someone who is willing to swap with you if the year model are compatible. The bike I bought is a...
