    Custom mount bracket for Bachetta Brain Box bag

    The clamps appear to be ones from a bell, light, reflector, or other item that you would mount to a handlebar or seat stay. The local bile store or community bike shop should be able to help. Just bring them the picture.

    Bag solutions for Vendetta V20?

    The stock Cruzbike seat is comparatively flat compared with the other ones mentioned. Thor, Bachetta, etc. carbon seats curve up towards the top which is what the brain box and similar bags are designed around. That doesn’t mean you can’t use it on a V20 with the stock seat but you might need to...

    Easiest way to clean chain?

    Depending on the solvent, the amount of time you let it sit before relubing, etc. You could easily (likely) be contaminating the new lube you are putting on making it much less effective. Many degreasers work by attaching one end of the molecule to the non-polar grease molecules and the other...

    Easiest way to clean chain?

    Should include - Once clean then rinse with water to remove any remaining degreaser, dry with clean rag, let dry then new lube. A rope (or bunge but they are scary) to a hook on the ceiling will lift the rear of the bike up either by the rear wheel or the top of the seat tube. Depends on what...

    Can't replace a broken derailleur cable

    Bonjour Denis, If you can ride without the 22 gear them you could adjust the front derailleur lower set screw ( the one that is touching a tab on the derailleur right now ). Turn it ( probably clockwise) until the derailleur is running the next chainring. It will help if you have an extra...

    To ride or not to ride, due to COVID- 19

    hmm. My imagination didn’t catch that when stealing my friend’s t-shirt and putting it on virtually to ride my Cruzbike outside (which I haven’t done since November or December.

    To ride or not to ride, due to COVID- 19

    Fresh air is good for the health. But if you are weakened by another illness, stress, other underlying conditions then you definitely should save your strength especially if you are in a high risk location or occupation or anticipate contracting the virus. Most (80%) have mild symptoms no...
