OK, but this would have to be a one-off for each bike, because the angle of the boom is different depending on the fit. And if you change the chainstay length, that changes everything too.

...to get 1:1 low gearing. It needs a little bit of extra chain cut-off scrap from another chain and two quick links with the stock chainstay length. The disadvantage of a wide range cassette is 2t jumps on the small cogs. One other problem with the Eagle RD is it sticks out pretty far. On my...

Yes. That is exactly what should be done. Exactly what I was picturing as I looked at my front triangle with the custom carbon cover over the top third of the wheel. You could integrate a aesthetically pleasing carbon cover with the rest of the front triangle in those six sizes. I would...

Thank you for the detailed answer!

The direct ancestor of the QX100, Quest 1.0 was delivered with a 3-chainring crank. If you were tall enough where the chainstay angle didn't become too open when setting your x-seam, this worked fine. Judging by your profile picture, you should be fine where you have the front tube currently...

Most 142*12 DF road bike drive thru axle systems(174 mm long SRAM style with a triangle SS centering washer) use a 7005 Aluminium Drive side nut with a derailleur hanger bracket which is very strong(should be soft to protect the derailleur!), and stops the nut rotating...

Warning: what follows is a true "wall of text". It is like building a truss or suspension bridge. Over very short distances like overpasses you use straight segments and pillars, over longer segments you use segments supported by a truss work of steel members above or below, and over the...

You are correct except that I have long arms. My x seam is between 48 and 48.5 " but I have a short torso. Its not like my arms are straight when I am riding, I just can't seem to get them in a comfortable position. The longer I ride the more fatigued my arms get which causes me to start...

...and the V20 forums so you might peruse them if you haven't already. I also found the folks at Cruzbike to be very helpful when I was pondering which chainstay length to go with so again, if you haven't already you might reach out to them. Good luck! The S40 is a ball to ride, but only if it...

...to create a welding jig, that would have been expensive for a single chainstay. They told me they could make the tool so that the chainstay length could be adjusted to the user specs in 1/2 inch increments prior to starting the fabrication. The hardware used on the chainstay is very common...

Thank you so much for the detailed response. I owe you one. I don’t know crap about bikes (although I’m learning) but if you ever get in criminal trouble in Kansas City please send me a note. I can help with that!

Hi David, My apologies if I'm assuming less bicycle wrenching experience than you have under your belt, but a simple answer for a simple question and all that ... The chain on your Cruzbike is a standard chain in that the length of each pair of links is the standard used on virtually all...

...it's perfect for me. For this bike, I needed four chains to make three, waxing them, and rotating them every 500 miles or so. The chainstay length is commonly chosen based on your X-Seam measurement. Many people prefer to have their feet lower than their hips. Aerodynamics are often improved...

Hey David, It sounds like the mechanic at your favorite bike shop will be doing the work, so the only complexity for you is knowing which credit card to put the cost on. To a halfway decent mechanic there's nothing mysterious in setting up the drivetrain on a Cruzbike. The...

Yes, you will most likely need a med or large chainstay - I would guess the large for you since you say you are all legs. Also you can remove the spacers to bring your headtube (and handlebars) down some. I would also ask for the curved slider: this will in effect drop the handlebars more into...

looks like the stock chainstay length. send an email to CruzBike requesting info on the Med or Large chainstay. I'm 6" and upgraded to the Med and love it. You will probably want the large. This will also move the bars closer to your body too.

when he said he had to top off the tire he meant with more air and not more sealant. it should be noted that sealant will always work better the lower psi you need to run which is why I never recommend it for tires smaller than 28mm or psi over 80psi.

Two questions. 1) How did you determine that you had to top off the tire before each ride? Did you have visible leakage? 2) Why will you "never go back to tubes"? Is it just the ability to run lower tire pressure or are there other reasons? In my DF gravel racing days I ran tubeless (Panracer...

The existence of multiple length chainstays for the S40 appears to be something of an open secret. I heard about the short chainstay on this forum and could find no reference to it on the Cruzbike commercial website. An email to Cruzbike got an immediate response from Robert explaining their...

Hi! How do you use a shorther chainstay? I dont see an option on the site, or at sparparts as curved slider.. Many thanks!
