    chain stay measurement please

    Here you go. Looks like I need to wash my bike! When I first bought mine, it accidentally came with a large chain stay. Should have been a medium. I was actually considering buying a small, but I'm glad I went with a medium. With the large, I couldn't even get the boom parallel to...

    My Neck Rest is better than Yours.

    I took mine out for a ride yesterday. I had the tube folded like an "M" inside the headrest sleeve, with the dense foam under it and nothing on top (except the sleeve). It worked pretty well, but I've made some changes for next ride. Now it's folded like an 'n' and I've added the...

    My Neck Rest is better than Yours.

    I had the same fear. I sent an email to Cruzbike and Robert sold me a spare headrest tube at a reasonable price.

    My Neck Rest is better than Yours.

    Sorry, I didn't take any. I will say - one thing that I did slightly different than Doug - after I cut the pieces out, and removed a slice to squeeze them narrower (I removed more like 3/8 or maybe even 1/2 an inch) - I glued the small pieces into to lower headrest tubes first (the part that...

    My Neck Rest is better than Yours.

    Doug, I did as you suggested and it worked great! Thanks! I didn't worry about making the cut pieces such a tight fit - I used filled up the cracks with the strongest epoxy I could find. Seems like there isn't a lot of stress on this part of the headrest anyway since the weight of your...

    Testing crank length and Helmets

    If you don't want to keep that Giro I'll buy it from you (if it's the right size, of course)

    WTB: Silvio 1.x/Sofrider seat cushion

    I know I can buy these here under "accessories", and I will if I don't get any takers.....but if anyone out there has replaced their seat cushions with Ventisit or whatever and wants to sell the originals, please let me know.

    Oh, thanks Doug! I'm happy to see you are still here! I thought you might have left with John T. I was thinking about attempting something like that myself too but I am a little afraid that I might mess it up and then be left with nothing!

    My Neck Rest is better than Yours.

    Thanks Steve, yes, that's exactly what I've done. I've also added some padding (socks rolled up in a bandanna) in the gap between the top of the backrest and the bottom of the headrest. It helps some but not quite enough. I do like the idea of the air cushion. I always have to remember...

    My Neck Rest is better than Yours.

    I wish I had a little less (maybe an inch or half an inch) vertical rise in my head rest. I've padded the upper part of the back rest and that helps a little, but not quite enough. Has anyone had and solved this problem?

    Underseat bag for Vendetta?

    Yup, Ultegra 6800. That's what I have and mine fit up there no problem.

    Vendetta V2 (Large) for sale

    When I first got my V, my boom angle was all wrong. The nose was higher than the handlebars! Turns out I got a large chainstay instead of a medium, and my legs weren't long enough for the large! Maria sent me a medium chainstay after that, of course. :) Congrats, Rat Rider!

    Underseat bag for Vendetta?

    When I moved mine I didn't have to re-cable. There was enough slack. I get about 75% "cool" and 25% "weird" as a reaction to mine. :-)

    Recumbent CruzBike Softrider 26" Bike - $500 (NE San Antonio)

    I just bought it. :) Can't wait to try it out. The plan is to let my son have it so he can Cruz with me. Right now he's just got a wedgie. Thanks for reposting these here BattleAxe and Zzzorse. I never would have noticed it without you guys.

    Underseat bag for Vendetta?

    Hey Jond, you might want to try moving your brake up to the TT position, so you have more room for the bag. I moved mine recently - I didn't think it would fit but it did. I think it looks a lot cleaner up there too.

    Bob, that would be awesome. I'd buy one. Good luck!
