Narrower, more vertical instead of gull wing makes it harder to steer at slow speed when the legs get in the way but give a pull that is closer lined up to the leg push and therefore feels a little better to me. See my avatar and more so the S40 and V20 setups. Does the your setup have mountain...

Agree with all above + handlebar type and setup can make this less or greater.

There are probably other factors involved but I can think of some that we often miss. We often talk about w/kg based on the rider weight, however for acceleration / deceleration due to gravity the mass of the bike needs to be included. Likewise the rolling resistance will be affected though to a...

Sorry, I don’t have a hub motor. Same situation as your original hub .. replaced axle with longer one etc. Not sure how long of an axle different hub motors would have.

This might work if your axle is long enough: You could add a 12.5mm spacer to each side of a front wheel axle so that it fits 135mm spacing at the rear frame on your conversion. That is what my conversion kit has. Made out of some tubing cut down and filed flat and smooth. Extra axle nuts...

@LarryOz Your heart rate say 132 when the camera switches to your ride video. What’s your resting rate? or does your heart ramp up when it sees the bike!

Awesome. Did you get any pictures of the process?

Awesome video @ak-tux. It does justice to Cruzbike, the Cruzbike community, you, your riding skills, your video skills, the riding conditions, the scenery, etc. And it is a great overview of the S40. It could be used as a promotional video.

Aw shucks. I was hoping for a rusted discount. :eek::eek:

Which bike are we talking about? I thought the V20 is a rocket ship! :D I think we can all agree that rust is bad, wish you didn't get rust, Cruzbike is known for high quality, and occasionally something poorer than ideal quality gets past quality control / manufacturing process or is chosen...

I think most of what we are seeing is just dirt and/ or salt thrown up by the front wheel. My cleaning routines are closer to annual than weekly or per ride and there is often dirt that can masquerade as damage. Also possible in high salt environments is aluminum breaking down and bubbling the...

The two stainless are standard stem clamp bolts readily available. The slider clamp bolt and sleeve are more specific - if you found a good source for that one please let me know.

No worries. We know you’re crazy too. That was a screen shot of Zwiftpower with only those who have Cruzbike selected as (one of) their team(s).

Nice! I bought a used QX100 for 900 USD plus shipping a couple years ago that was in good but not the mint condition of yours. I would place this above a T50 ($1265) in features. And it has significant accessory value in the ventisit seat cushion ($99) and the rear rack ($145). (Note...

Salty, damp air (ocean) + steel + aluminum = best case for a redox reaction (rust = oxidizing in chemistry terms) and worst case for you. Only the best quality stainless can stand those kinds of conditions for long. Different applications call for different material qualities such as...

Awesome write up and amazing teamwork to you all. Congratulations on the PL invite.

The Cruzbike seat is supported along its length by the frame allowing it to be flatter and probably lighter. It is mostly flat and provides a wider surface area to sit/lay on than the frame (and looks good doing it). The shape and ribs of the Thor seat provide the necessary stiffness and...

I see you found suitable parking space for your new two wheel chair. :D

Way to go! No slouches on those two-wheel couches.

+1 what @velocio said. Civility AND helpful AND rational, knowledgeable comments with a good bit of humour thrown in for spice. In the background is a whole lot of striving towards virtue and successful avoidance of vice.
