    V20 Hand Painted Edition for Sale - SOLD

    That's definately it; people are just waiting. The new V20 are going to be a small inventory based on the wording we've seen. That means they will sell out fast and the use market should roar back to life. This is also the end of the Northern hemisphere riding season. People don't buy bikes that...

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Pretty steady build since the 4th of july; not too fast not too slow. While 77CTL isn't huge fitness for you , its going to be Rock Solid fitness. It's not gonna fade fast Much more stable than what you build in Dec/Jan.

    Steering damper/stabilizer

    It probably should be noted here that absolute certainty that you can master a thing is as important as the doing and drilling.... Child #5 at our house made the leap from glider to pedals this weekend. She finally believed and then off she went.

    Front derailleur on V20

    The new Medium is a tad shorter than the legacy medium.... what options beyond that we all find out when the v20 update details are released.

    Front derailleur on V20

    Indeed.... http://enduroforkseals.com/id198.html They were beta tested with RAAM, you'll likely see the official release with the new v20, but that's just a guess. The major change is they don't clamp on the cup.

    Front derailleur on V20

    Yes do; it's free. and worth using and helps on the V20 you can get a some adjustmets a lot easier. These BB's would solve your size problem. Will work with your cranks; and clamp correctly. Otherwise check with robert@cruzbike.com for the status of the new chainstays that clamp inside the cups...

    Is my KICKR kicking the bucket??

    Brake is probably out of calibration; use the wahoo fitness application to do an "advanced spin down" and that will calibrate the brake. This assumes your firmware is also up-to-date

    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    Specifically, I was referring to Paraffin. (which is the most common wax for candles as it's odorless).... Paraffin doesn't wash off in water that's why they use it as the base for chain oils. Properties. Paraffin wax is mostly found as a white, odorless, tasteless, waxy solid, with a typical...

    Front derailleur on V20

    Check you chainstay, it sounds like you have your cup clamps biased a bit to the right or left placing you just out side the normal left and right adjustment of the derailleur. Also, check the programming of your Di2 to make sure the over shift trim is setup correctly, with the over shift as...

    New and Improved Headrest Clamp

    Yeah, it'll work; the only real difference in that part of the frame is the end is open and there is a foam insert IIRC.

    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    Not really true; we never changed chains on RAAM and the last two days we got rather wet; both riding the bikes in the pouring rain and dragging them behind the trucks at 65mph.... At the finish line, the waxed chains were fine for probably another 100-200 miles of riding; and the fresh chains...

    Steering damper/stabilizer

    I venture a guess that most of the veterans get twitchy when someone says commute on v20 which implies a lot of traffic, and rider has < 500 miles logged because we recall the difference before and after. That's probably what you are sensing in the advice/tips/guidance.

    Orange for the win. And the new Hutchison stuff is really good.
