    Road bike vs. recumbent comparison

    Ummm... where we going with this boys? Is it keyboard racing season already? Let's see if I can summarize before I lock this thread (which would be like twice in history). 1. Hardy loves Zwift. 2. Osiris is a short flat track kind of dude. 3. All the old timers here have enough real life...

    Some newbie questions.

    Based on Experience the short chainstay will adjust things in the wrong direction for tall people; legs come back more; and you can't go as far down as you would think with the extension because you reach a point of hard interference. If you email support@cruzbike.com them might still have...

    It has a front shock so it's 28 degrees.

    Considering giving Cruzbike a second chance...

    Based on that it does sounds like a used S30 or a new S40 would suit you. Base on you height both of those are going to give you a good power basis with lower feet; and drafting behind is a little more possible, if the person can hold a wheel and their nerve.

    V20 RD Shifting Issues

    It doesn't; the steps are off just enough that you can never quite get the top and the bottom of the rang perfect. I tried for many hours on our trainers. 10speed was the last great haven for mixing and matching. But then I'm super picky after having the etap on the main bikes; you might be...

    V20 RD Shifting Issues

    The force 22 is the best non clutch derailler for those shifters. better than the rival just no lockout. we all used the x9 for the lockout.

    Q45 My first 100 miles

    For the shock; lessen the preload; then do miles; that shock will get more flex and the squeak may dial down. The air shock is from ali express is a "Kind Shock A5-RR1" that's the one everyone used to upgrade the Quest V1, V2. I do not know for certain it fits the newer Q45 but I think it should

    Getting Off the Fence

    This solves the problem. Yeah it's $80 but it works and they are super durable cages. The replacement bottles are easy to come by on ebay for $10. Giant has an exclusive in the USA they are sold under other names in the rest of the world for $65...

    Zwift - Cruzbike Activities (races and group rides)

    Pretty sure Hardy is in bed by the time I get to the trainer. Sucks being older than me? What is this retirement you all speak of I get to start saving for retirement at age 68 when the kids finish college.

    Tubeless tires anyone?

    Ditto, used those Speed Evolution ones on the RAAM bikes and they are the best ones in my tool-chest. I have a few silca that I had to get when others were out of stock and they are about the same just much more pricey

    The Cadence Conversations

    You will and you'll likely exceed it if you focus on it; as you adapte you'll slide forward on the bike; after that happens just work on your boom length to avoid "hop throw" fowards and backwards. that plush an ever improving spin will clean up you cadence. It just takes time.

    Working back into it

    It's been awhile folks. I hope everyone had a good riding season in the north and a good training season in the south. I managed 1 outdoor ride this season. It's been a long road of business, kids, and poorly timed off the bike injuries (shoulder and ankle at 4 month intervals). I had to...
