+1. Clipped in makes it easier by removing the “trying to keep your feet on the pedals” from the equation. But you wouldn’t have been able to convince me of that before I was ready to try it for myself. But within seconds it changed to “Why didn’t I do that earlier?” Edit: Applies to those...

@LarryOz I am sure you saw this one https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/stock-v20-seat.14375/#post-173698 in the Marketplace.

I’m having a hard time orienting the bag and bike in my mind. The picture is upside down, right? The bar goes under the bag - between the wheel and the bag, right?

Sorry @billyk , I don’t disagree with you, :D but I did write my post poorly. My sole point with that whole paragraph was to say that the amount of push or pull with our arms is small compared with what our legs can put out so it is a good thing that the stabilizing amounts required from our...

Ruminating on this topic. With respect to being able to push more than pull: We push forward with our legs and that is the largest force in play ranging very close to parallel to the direction of travel. The sideways component of that force that creates the torque involved in the steering input...

Makes me wonder if the war would have been different if one side had flared drop bars instead. ;)

I think the pulling in high power situations is short-term additional stabilization and anchoring to the core so that the legs can increase the amount of power for a short time. The pushing is an alternative that is possibly harder to develop and to me feels less comfortable - pulling equals...

@Mathew Fy You are looking young, fit, and female? in that self portrait. And that’s what I meant. About arms used for starting, extremely slow speed and extra effort such as sprinting but mainly just stabilizing.

I have a qx100, conversion kit and s40 which all have seat angles around 35-45 degrees. When I push against the seat I start to slide up it up eventually if I don’t pull so I bet some form of pulling is required for high power on v20 and Silvio. I find pulling to counteract the same side...

Do you have a build thread with your rack and fenders or can you post more details including more pictures? I always have challenges with them and even with the Cruzbike purchased rear rack there were challenges.

I believe this is the order: -Release all three pivot points (axle, BB, boom clamp) -Adjust boom and/or slider, -Tighten axle quick release, -Tighten bottom bracket clamps (equal gap, not too tight, but not loose enough to vibrate loose either). -You may need to loosen the boom and/or slider...

An email to support at cruzbike dot com will probably get to @Robert Holler faster than this ping asking him to answer your above question.

Someone on an s30 put drop bars upside down to get better fit for them. Was it @ChaleJake ? I remember seeing pictures in a thread that sang the praises of the s30 and had posts by @rfneep. Come to think of it I think there were pictures if Thor seat or similar installed on an s30 in that...

@2whluge Great acquisition. Welcome to the Cruzbike family. If you have any questions whatsoever do not hesitate but ask them on this forum. There is a wealth of info but it can be hard to find. If you haven’t already ridden a Cruzbike I suggest following the instructions from Cruzbike and on...

I’ve taken my commission in advice in advance. Thanks.

Cleaner is always better. Beware: experience and opinion below. Read at your own risk. There is a huge thread on Chain Waxing. Dirt mixed with lubricant is a grinding paste. Waxed chains have been known to last a very long time when cleaned like meticulously such as @Frito Bandito does. The...

@2whluge with such a tight timeline you should probably put your cell phone number in a private conversation to @rfneep. To send a direct message, click on rfneep’s avatar beside his post and select “Start a Conversation”.

I have deleted my reply because it was inaccurate. Thank you for the correction @Randyc3
