    Aero Time Trial helmet

    I agree with WS about the bar I agree with WS about the bar placement needing to be low. I've run mine both ways and I like them so they just clear my knees. I also agree that the Origin 8 bars splay your arms out into dirty air just a little. When going aero on downhill runs, I squeeze my...

    Bill, it's the same difference. When reading my reply, it dawned on me I push with the left and pull with the right as I push with my right leg. It's a pretty powerful stroke and requires equal resistance. Once you're moving, it takes less upper body input, of course, but starting out is...

    I haven't modified my seats, at all. I've found them to be very comfy for me, even on all day rides. Mark

    Hi Dan! Welcome to the forum and welcome to cruzing! You have a nice looking bike there, but maybe go for a little more recline on the seat. I'm anxious to hear what you think about the Cruzbike's climbing prowess after you get a few miles. I'm also anxious to hear what you think when you...

    Bruce, Sounds like a nice build, right up my alley! The key to launching straight is to counter with your off arm. In other words, if you launch with your right leg, you need to counter with your left arm. It's like a dance and it gets to be second nature straight away. The fun has just...

    Could this bike work ?

    I think the seat height would be too high on that bike. Mark

    Chainstay design question

    It's true One roadie friend of mine was wanking about "I see that as a weak link....." I put it back together and two miles later he was wanking about the pace being too fast. Where's you weak link now? Mark

    Chainstay design question

    Correct On the bottom bracket end, the pivot is a clamp that clamps around the bottom bracket shell. The stays bolt solidly to the clamp. On the dropout end, the stays are blted into a fixture that is sandwiched with the fork, the anxle and the derailleur hanger. I know, it sounds weird...

    knobby problem from the knees thread or nomomoto

    I can see both sides of the power assist debate. I lean towards being more of a purist; if you're going to pretend to be a cyclist, then work at getting faster and fitter on your own. There are no shortcuts and in my mind, a motor of any kind other than your own heart, legs and lungs is...
