Buying an expensive bike gives always question so in my case to ! Thanks for your detailed information Jeremy . I got an e. mail from the french gentleman , with detailed photos . The bike looks good and is complete. But i have some tech questions to the forum members ! My total body length is...

I'm 6'2"+ with a longer Xseam. I'm on a medium and it works great. The only difference is actually the chainstay length. The large chainstay essentially only raises your feet a bit over the medium. All of the rest of the geometry is basically unchanged. Threw me off to be a medium as well.

hi larry the measurement was 400mm. i think as robert said the only difference is length of chainstay.

ok ok will do larry when i get home tonight. when i was looking at purchasing the bike i was in direct contact with john tolhurst. john told me that it was possible to change a large to medium with a new chainstay as at 6ft 1 i was on the border line for frame size. at the time only two large...

Billy K's thread about testing the flex of his Quest frame is really interesting... and he wants to see my wooden chainstay... so, Mr. K., this is the best I can do! My bike has a lot of non-stock parts; I built two of the major pieces. The seat was built first and that story is in another...

Here's an example of a telescoping adjustable length item. This is for automotive camber adjustment. Although, I would prefer a simpler system that seems to be used on most of these carbon drive belts, the sliding bolt arrangement. It may be possible to incorporate this type of sliding...

This comes apart so a belt can go on and off right (in red)? I think the suspension travel is going to be irrelevant because it won't change the length of the chainstay + extension/tensioner (green).

On Valentine’s Day we went On Valentine's Day we went out to Palm Springs and I rode the S30 in the 50 mile ride. Didn't set any records but did manage to get much more comfortable on the bike. I managed to complete the ride in just under four hours and the last two got a tad warm as temps...

John,       The Cruzbike John, The Cruzbike community will miss you and your incredibility well designed FWD MBB recumbents, especially the Silvio! ?When comparing the Silvio with other Recumbents for the BROL awards, I could not believe how much BETTER and Smoother the Silvio is...

Guys This is what I sent. I Guys This is what I sent. I don't know if I was meant to put my reasons for voting for the S30? ?When looking at John's creation compared to the others, it just blew me away at how far advanced his S30 design is in comparison! I have become very complacent...

 I cant correct the problem You should be able to do both at once: loosen both the upper and lower boom clamps (and loosen the bottom bracket ring clamps, and the front wheel skewer so you aren't flexing the chainstay). Lengthen the boom a bit at the lower clamp to give knee clearance, and...

From the 1.0 manual:Arm and From the 1.0 manual: You don't mention loosening the BB (bottom bracket) ring clamps, or the front wheel skewer. It's important to do that in addition to loosening one of the clamps on the boom, otherwise you are bending the carbon fiber chainstay (part of the...

Just FYI, I've been pretty Just FYI, I've been pretty happy with my all-SRAM-Rival setup. I just wish I had gone with shorter cranks (165mm or 170mm instead of the 172.5mm I got) and I might benefit from some chainstay extension given my leg length (~45 inch x-seam). - 50x34 compact...

I agree with Johns I agree with Johns observation and I have a similar issue. This sort of fit challenge is not uncommon, but on some recumbents it is not an issue (like on a stick highracer) because your legs are on the other side of the handlebars eliminating the need to account for the "foot...

In an ideal world ... Yep, In an ideal world ... Yep, and it's always hard not to feel like we are peeing in the pool. Don't take it that way, just pushing the envelope and adding to the knowledge base; while being happy to have a place to do it. Let the chainstay extension...

Let the chainstay extension Let the chainstay extension be specified to position the BB. Let a steering tube extension be used to position the height of the handlebar clamp as dictated by required arm angle and bar choice. Let the grips onthe bars be flared according to taste. Flared gives...

  .. I'd like the chainstay Hello John, I respect your designs they are very well thought out. However I was wondering whether it is possible to actually have a dropout but move the pivot or rotation point and the RD hanger hanger to be just above the dropout as a press-fit or a...

CHAINSTAY EXTENSION attached you find a manufacturing drawing (metric or imperial) for an individual chain-stay extension. The extension length should be less than 100mm (4 inches). A smooth surface finish is important for the strength of this part. Be aware that you take full...

I had no issues fitting a I had no issues fitting a ?Shimano Alfine 8 IGH into a conversion kit. You might get away without a chain tensioner because the conversion kit has horizontal dropouts that should allow correct tension somewhere along it's length. I wouldn't worry too much about...

Jerrye, From what I Jerrye, From what I understand the movement from suspension should cause the Cruzbike triangle to rotate about the crank-wheel axis. So there should not be any significant impact on the drivetrain length. Even if there's a problem maybe a tensioner can sort it out...
