    Changing a front tire on a V20

    Nope. No problem. My da went to school with your pa in the good ole days and he made you practice the closed eyes part while you were biking uphill both ways in a snow storm, barefoot and carrying 50lbs of textbooks. So the rest is peanuts to you. :D

    New Q45 coming....

    Wheel and tire size will also have an impact on gearing. The new Q45 has 584 wheels. (Roughly 5% larger diameter.)

    Changing a front tire on a V20

    Now that we are old we think we know how to do everything without doing it. How hard was it the first time you had to change a tire or fix a flat on a “regular” bike - you probably needed a 1/2” wrench and assistance from an older family member. And your first time with a derailleur? With disc...

    New S40 owner

    I think we may have caught our expert in a Cruzbike newbie explanation. Or more likely I just am misunderstanding. My Cruzbike QX100 the front fits fine on my Stac Zero (now Wiiii) trainer. It fits the same as a mountain bike rear wheel. You may find it a little more awkward because the...

    Needed: Cruzbike / Recumbent Racing Photos

    Please post any (legally acquired and non-copyrighted) pictures of recumbents in racing trim for use in posters, propaganda, etc. If we can get some good pictures to work with we may be able to catch the attention of announcers on Zwift Racing Live when they commentate on WTRL's Team Time...

    Various items for sale...

    Can you measure the outside diameter of the straight slider? Does it come with the other side of the handlebar clamp? Thank you for sharing the unused parts. That makes good sense to me.

    Updating Post Heading

    You probably don’t have enough posts to have that option available. What you can do though is post a few at the end of the thread saying SOLD and edit the very first post to say SOLD at the top and bottom of the post. To edit the post there should be an “edit” link at the bottom left of the...

    How to make your Vendetta as fast as possible

    There would be a lot of variables to this question. It would be very hard to get the same setup, components, etc. on two different generations of V to compare but it should be doable to compare frame weight and (subjectively) stiffness. Head tube angle, rake, and trail measurements. Hmmm...

    B&W Bike Case II review

    Before or after @3bs “improves” it? - either way is fine by me.

    Q45 with under the seat rack, any solution to have a stand ?

    @RojoRacing has a thread called Stop the Flop which I found by searching for rojoracing and “steering” in the cruzbike search at the top of the page.

    SofRider Bottom Bracket Replacement?

    I have a really nasty crunching sound metal sound. It went away for one or two short rides after I cranked the crank down super tight. I am thinking my issue is related to replacing the bottom bracket with one that is supposed to be the same but doesn’t quite match perfectly ( shorter splines. )...

    SofRider Bottom Bracket Replacement?

    That would be to get the hyena to bite the pedal instead of the fleshy part of the calves.

    A sign of things to come?

    Isn’t the front triangle virtually the same on the current V20, S40, and Q45? (I don’t own anything newer than a qx100 so excuse the ignorance...)

    ISO - S30

    Make one from bike boxes from the local bike shop. Protect dropouts. Bag anything loose. Disassemble. Wrap everything in paper and or bubble wrap.

    Two Questions

    That depends on your pain threshold. At least two meanings intended. :p
