    Fitting Question - S30

    Shorter crank length will allow for a little more space. Let's see if I can say it in words using an example: Shorten crank by 1 cm will bring the pedal 1 cm in closer at full extension, therefore Move the boom farther out 1 cm to keep pedal in same place at full extension, therefore Near pedal...

    Great night at the races

    Nice writeup as usual. That Flamingos picture is pretty amazing. Does the sloth only give out energy drinks to those riding in V formation? I didn't even notice her/him last night.

    Getting Off the Fence

    Could be tiny droplets of silicone / solvent. But regardless wax is awesomely clean. Fresh wax is like butter on fresh bread. Anything that comes off of a cleaned waxed chain is cleaning the chain by exfoliation.

    Cruzbike Time Trial Challenge 2020

    ...stupid drivers video... The screwdriver is to tighten loose screws right! Maybe flame throwers from underneath a la mad max. But no that would probably count as another means of propulsion and you would have to redo the time trial.

    Internal Hub and Belt on a QX100

    Here’s an old thread but post #4 seems to indicate it wouldn’t be easy due to belt tensioning issues. I’m not sure if there has been any solutions newer than that old thread. https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/another-inquiry-about-belt-drives-and-nuvinci.6587/#post-23580

    Pushed the limits --- Limits pushed back

    It is always encouraging when we have these little reminders that the people we highly respect and place on a pedestal of “most knowledgeable” are indeed human and make unknowing mistakes.

    Cruzbike Time Trial Challenge 2020

    I received some curiosity questions from an elderly gent as I was doing my TT this morning. He was cooling down after a long ride and I was barely able to catch him into a decent headwind on a bike with cruzbike better aero than his. I also received a huge :emoji_ok_hand: and “ride on” from an...
