    Speculating on bikes costs

    To date Cruzbike hasn't shared their manufacturing costs. Here are some things we do know before the speculation gets off course 1) The V20 has always been the lowest volume selling bike and that's the reason for the price. It's been refined each interaction and that still takes engineering. 2)...

    That is the bolted orientation of the entire cage then. Is this a yaw derailleur or standard?

    A couple more newbie questions

    Pedals. To get myself into smooth circles and level out the power so it does not break from the road. Going up hills when I get into huff and puff mode then anything to avoid bursts of torque is good

    A couple more newbie questions

    It works in 11T then it is a limit screw. The FD should over-shift and come back. To fix that adjust the outer limit screw a quarter turn until it shifts correctly.

    The Cadence Conversations

    I missed that of first read. The MD takes about 500-600 miles to break in; then that resistance goes away. Had one on my Catrike and at 700 the resistance was gone. Unfortunately the under gearing still was a challenge. Sure was fun with the 65T ring going down hill though.

    The Cadence Conversations

    Common with the MTN-Drive because it's too easy to gear to low; which is possible and is slower; due to pogoing in the dead-spot.

    Qty 2 - Kickr version1 For Sale

    Yes these would work with 4F and Zwift, most of 4F was tested on these kickr's. For the video part you needs a Windows or Mac Laptop or an iPad; and from there the ability to project to a TV. We use an iPad, an Ancient AppleTV and TV, and we just Airplay the ipad to the TV; and discord on the...

    The first rule of grandma visit is you don't talk about hotels when the nearest one that's not a rat trap is 30 minutes away.

    easy testing of aerodynamic drag

    Chung has always said to test on days with stable winds <= 2mph...... Pretty sure that happens here about once every 10 years or so.

    V20 Build - MBB newbie

    I would have thought it should be the same, maybe not. My point of reference is the RAMM bikes and we didn't have that problem on them all the ETAP stuff is YAW too; those were 50 QLX and the reach was good even on the middle diameters....; but granted they aren't Force 22. I do have a Force in...

    easy testing of aerodynamic drag

    Yep I can confirm that one; the math requires that all decreasing is speed come from Cdr and Cda; if you hit the brakes at all in a test segment the data is invalid the math just falls apart. Chung suggests placing a MAT on the group and hitting LAP each time you cross it. If you have a course...

    V20 Build - MBB newbie

    I still think of that as "down" not forward :) Now I under understand. it looks like you are getting bit by the length of your boom; and the way the stalk rotated. There's a shim from Rotor; I'll look the part number up. You put it on the derraillur and will let you shift it that last little...
