    @rfneep For some reason I get “you do not have permission to view media in this folder” when I click on the link.

    Q45 - First ride experience

    It is possible that you have the boom too far out. It did appear as though you were stretching but that could have been optical illusion or your personal peddling style (so don't change based on me) but many find it better to err on the side of shorter rather than longer for learning for those...

    Vosadrian's V20 Journey - Australia

    Sounds like a good plan. ... I am sure if you want to you will get to no hands.. eventually.. I can on my conversion kit and my QX100 was even easier so based on your prior balance abilities you will get there. All of a sudden one day you will realize you just went to zip down your jacket...

    ! ! ! 5ifty-8 ! ! ! No wonder you weren't worried about slightly higher weight tubing - you must have tree trunks pushing those cranks.

    Homebuild - Super V15

    Oh Yah. Now you should watch the learning to ride videos... They will accelerate your learning so you can accelerate yourself. But that was an awesome start for a low seat angle 4th attempt. And give it a lower gear - one that gives some resistance but is easy to spin smoothly instead of...

    Awesome! That is awesome. you will learn fine. In fact a minor note: this approach may be the biggest challenge. Accepting that it is not a minor flavour adjustment to your favourite desert (chocolate ice cream vs. Triple chocolate ice cream) (er bike) but thinking of it as something entirely...

    2021 Q45 Seat Angle

    The stock seat does not go up to the top of the shoulders. For me (5’8”) it ends between the shoulder blades at the top of the vertical central portions. I don’t have any issues riding with a pretty low seat angle without a headrest but it is important to note that I started with a higher seat...

    Q45 Seat Post Swap?

    Please note that @billyk has an aftermarket seat so your idea may work with the Cruzbike seat. You would need to hold it up alongside the other model for comparison.

    2021 Q45 Seat Angle

    so let’s see if I am following: a tube similar to the one the quick release goes through: same length and inside diameter (big enough for the quick release) with outside diameter large enough to be sturdy. Drill a hole same size as small tube outside diameter through the 1-1/4” tube an inch...

    My experience agrees. There is nothing restricting the knee or hip joints until you steer sharp enough for the outside leg to be hitting the headset which is way past what anyone will come across even with steep switchbacks through pedestrians barriers. By the time you bend or twist that far...

    It is automatic unless you change it yourself. I think it is based on number of posts. Therefore, mine was changed to reflect the NOT guru that I am. ;)

    Tri shorts vs. “Regular” vs. Bib vs. Recumbent specific

    Do Tri shorts work well on lower seat angle Cruzbikes: V20, S30, S40, Q set to low angle? I am thinking the minimal padding might work well and the quick drying would also but I don’t have experience to lean on. I have one pair of recumbent racing shorts from reverse gear (may they Ride On...

    Smart trainers and the V20

    It sounds as though something is getting in the way of the derailleur/ getting all the way out. If it is like mine, the spring in the derailleur is what pulls it out to the smallest gears so if the cable is curved tighter, or something is restricting the derailleur movement down or out then it...
