    Too big or too small for Cruzbike? Check the Chart. Take the Poll.

    @velocio Agreed, those of us slimmer and shorter could use a seat pan that is either further forward or shorter or both. On my Q the front of the seat digs in to the back of my thighs. Not badly-I can ride for over an hour. However, as @3bs indicated, stiffer foam preferably secured well...

    V20 Assembly

    Possibly so that the wheel magnet is less likely to move around. All of the below doesn't make much difference for all except the serious racer: 1. Weight added near the rim will have much greater rotational momentum than near the hub. Mounting weight near the rim will have two impacts: a...

    Cruztrike???

    So as long as your rack and/or bag are mounted to the frame (or seat which is in turn attached to the frame) there would be no more interaction with the wheels than you would have with mounting other frame attached parts such as fenders? Awesome! I love the simplicity and effectiveness.

    S40 Sold Out

    Oh ye of little rain... The front side of the of the front fork is where the fender (mudguard) keeps the chainring, chain, derailleur, and your feet clean and dry. And the added benefit of better aerodynamics. That said I would skip them for touring that involves packing your bike as the extra...

    We did it! We donated to buy an S40 for Ak-Tux!

    Wahoo! A huge thank you to @billyk for getting this off the ground. I am so thrilled that we have been able to get an S40 for Ak-tux. Way to go Cruzbike tribe.

    MI Cruzbike retreat 2020 - August 6-9, 2020 Benton Harbor Michigan

    Why not both: -stop to read, spool up the turbo -stop to read, stop to beverage Although you could stop to pick up beverage and the imbibe while stopped to read, though that may lengthen the stop and decrease the effectiveness of the turbo.

    If this is Recumbutt...

    I often ride on Zwift this winter with a friend for approximately an hour. I have had tingly feet and a little stiff or tired feeling muscles because they are not used to so much work. That is on my Conversion Kit bike (as seen in my avatar at left). But tonight I rode on Zwift on my QX100...

    Vendetta v20 In uk

    I'm sure there will be V20, there are several owners and several Silvio owners (precursor to the S40 and halfway between sitting position of S40 and V20) Oh, but so worth it. Once you are used to it it is joyous. Smiles for miles and miles!

    V20 Assembly

    I think you are going to notice that the ideal location is going to be somewhere along the outsides of the handlebars to avoid the blind spot caused by your head. I think where you have them will make it impossible to see directly behind you. :eek:Beware - zany sense of humour ahead: Easy to...
