    Are there new V20s coming out?

    @3bs are you going to go into production on this or is this like magic. Custom bike to be made in limited numbers based solely on preorders?

    Are there new V20s coming out?

    @rx7mark wouldn’t a Q45 suit your use case better than a breakable T50? Moot point because you have better in the silvio 2 - curiosity question

    Are there new V20s coming out?

    I like this but not sure if I understand how these changes would save weight. Can you explain a little more so me with an engineering type mind but no education so I don’t know any if the terms?

    Mounting lights/GoPro on a V2

    You might need to adjust the mounting locations on the helmet for the recumbent position. And for me, with my seat at around 35 to 45 degrees, there are different neck muscles involved that can get sore. Initially it was a steeper angle but less time riding; now more horizontal but commuting for...

    New S40 owner

    Consider that I don’t know your overall fitness nor how much you have ridden your Cruzbike etc. For me when learning to ride Cruzbike there were a bunch of muscles in the arms, back, and shoulders that became quite sore or exhausted. I have commuted by bike for about 20 years so it was...

    Wondering about the fastest, while wide-range, drivetrain

    I’m fairly certain that I have seen dirtier fork, chain, cassette, derailleur, etc. Coming out of original packaging. Can I leave you alone with my bikes ?

    New Q45 coming....

    Good point. Wish thee was an entry level as in 9 year old size though I understand the reasons why financially it doesn’t make sense.

    Irony, TTT, and team names ATP, Herd, Low Drag, High Speed

    Thanks @trplay @RojoRacing I bet you could increase our speed solely by coaching. You wouldn’t have to allow the data hungry blasphemer surfers to see your name recorded. Although Rojo Racing’s Recumbent Dork Protégés does have a nice ring to it or would it be Rojo’s Recumbent Racing Dorks or...

    Early Christmas from Thor (seat & tailbox maker)

    @LarryOz, I thought the Thor seats with the shoulder support was for more upright bikes like 40 to 60 degrees. Did you get a seat with shoulder support made custom for the V20?

    Searching out the limits on the V20.

    When you are going faster than the ambient wind then no matter what direction you choose will be into the wind. If it wasn’t a V I would say slow down, but Vs don’t listen to that kind of talk.

    Irony, TTT, and team names ATP, Herd, Low Drag, High Speed

    To those I have TTT connections to: @ccooper, @trplay, @Pollock, @RojoRacing, @ratz, @ccf, @LarryOz, @CruzLike, and others whose names my mind refuses to provide at this moment. Zwift: I started riding on Zwift a couple years ago approximately once a week in winters only with a long-time...

    Cruzbike Time Trial Challenge 2020

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. It makes me feel better when I have a bad day to know that others have them too. Especially with such persistence to try six times before gibing up. Another backup plan that could work is the app with a heart monitor or even the...

    Bag for carrying camelbak water bladder?

    Nice job. Very inconspicuous in the avatar view. What do you have for a flag pole? It seems to be fluorescent green?

    Are there new V20s coming out?

    =Q45. I also am not convinced that you want to add much to the V20. Improvements to disc brake mounts, Lighter if possible, more aero. The V20 should remain a no holds barred racing machine. That’s its job in my not so humble opinion. I wouldn’t complain if the Q45 got a prettier, stiffer...

    You might have to build one at your turn around point.

    Flat mount caliper clearance - S40

    To look at it from a different perspective, how much deflection is there at the wheel rim to the fork? That maximum flex includes flex of rim, spokes (mostly), hub, axle, fork, tolerances in connection points. Let’s say you have 5 mm clearance tire/rim to your fork and that it doesn’t ever...

    Cruzbike Time Trial Challenge 2020

    Wow Larry! Sorry to hear about the crash. You must be awefully smooth with the power application and pedal steering to maintain let alone increase power without half of your stability arms engaged. Did you break anything? How long do you anticipate for shoulder healing?

    Are there new V20s coming out?

    To answer the title updated models do not seem to happen at the same time so we will have to wait until after the Q at least. But keep the ideas coming. This forum is where some of the improvements have come from.

    T50 to V20 quick thoughts

    Australia must be big to have curbs of 0.8m (31.5”) ! Does that do a better job of keeping the cars on the road? :eek:
