I have not experienced I have not experienced recumbutt on either the Quest or Vendetta. I've done a century on the Quest and a tiny bit over a double century on the Vendetta. -Eric

Rival GXP bearing cup torque Rival GXP bearing cup torque requirement is 34-41 Nm (301-363 in-lbs) which really isn't much more than snugging it down. If you have really cranked it down it is probably way over-torqued. In some ways it is similar to a headset in that you are just eliminating...

For some reason the mental For some reason the mental image that first popped in my head was me hanging between a Silvio 2 and Vendetta 2 rolling down a hill... Somehow I don't think we would produce any meaningful data with that technique. With that out of the way, I was also...

@Jeremy - Does the @Jeremy - Does the chainstay component have a definite top and bottom? If not maybe the holes were drilled with it flipped over? @unc99 - The Silvio bottom bracket assembly is pretty much like the Vendetta except parts of it bolt together instead of being a welded unit...

Hi Peter You might want to Hi Peter You might want to try this method that Jack used on his Quest: http://cruzbike.com/silvio-headrest-nice-comfy-cheap#comment-17605 As Jack points out, he used velcro which allows him to move the headrest to his other Cruzbike. The other aspect about...

Well, on the Vendetta I Well, on the Vendetta I sometimes need to lift my head about two fingers width off the headrest to be able see better out of my dadgum bifocals... How about an eccentric cam under the padding and a knob with some way to turn and lock it - sort of like a lumbar...

On the Quest, I found 2 round On the Quest, I found 2 round adhesive covers over the top shock mount bracket holes to protect them from getting pain inside them. At first I thought they forgot to drill the holes but then noticed the small round ridge and peeled the protective cover off. Is...

That is a good shot of you That is a good shot of you Ken. I was wondering how those arm rests would look with you on the bike - pretty cool. What happens when you do really tight turns? -Eric

I just received my new Stages I just received my new Stages Power Meter (SRAM Rival 170mm). See DC Rainmaker's updated review for more info. I'll do a separate post about it once I get it installed and try it out but thought I'd mention it here as an option for Bob to consider for #4...

My RD is a medium cage. I My RD is a medium cage. I mentioned the cage size here along with a gotcha when combining SRAM Road brifters with an MTB RD. Per SRAM: Short for DH Medium for 2x10 Long for 3x10 Shifts well but a bit tricky to get setup - you really need the cable...

My Vendetta 2.0 53x39 with My Vendetta 2.0 53x39 with 11-36 on Mike Sherman's calculator. I use the SRAM X9 TYPE 2 RD to get the 36T. -Eric

I transitioned from a I transitioned from a Cruzbike Quest to the Vendetta. I had the Quest seatback at about 37 degrees. The Vendetta is 20 degrees. I learned to ride the Quest unsupported on rollers - spent a lot of hours on the rollers over this past winter. Got a few outdoor rides in when...

Which main tube decal Which main tube decal positioning are you using? I see two different setups in these photos. Also I suggest identifying and clarifying the use of the inline cable adjusters and whatever those other doohickeys are next to them. I know John D received these in his...

Of course the other thing you Of course the other thing you can do is learn to ride a Cruzbike on rollers but be prepared to pop off the *#$*! things a bazillion times before you can manage to ride for very long. If patience and persistence isn't your thing, this can be hard to master...

@Jerry - no idea - just @Jerry - no idea - just posting what was showing on the RAAM site. Maybe Jim or Maria can post a blog about their RAAM journey later and explain how that sort of thing is handled. -Eric

Usually during the first bit Usually during the first bit of riding, taking your feet off the pedal if you start losing it quickly returns control. I think this is because the FWD MBB requires very little input for steering and feet and arms both are providing more steering input than is...
