    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    What did I do to my Cruzbike? Well I rode it on Friday between snow. But more interestingly my winter mountain bike with studded tires developed a crunching feel once per wheel rotation at the rear on Thursday on the way home. So on Saturday I went to the local community bike shop and had...

    Is wanting to win all that great if you sacrifice your honor?

    Some of my 2c. Life is more complicated than 1+1=2. It is awfully easy to cheat to get an advantage. Intentions can be a good thermometer sometimes. However, the smell test of throwing a game ... If your goal is win at ALL costs whether that is individual games, championships, etc. it is...

    Getting Off the Fence

    Sorry @GetBent, I should have looked at the beginning of the thread first before commenting. Then I would have realized that this is your thread - I have been chastised most accurately. If you were in my area and would be able to borrow my trike - alas Ontario is a long way from Portland...

    Getting Off the Fence

    This seems to have gotten on the wrong thread somehow... but if you give your location there might be someone nearby with a trike. I used one for a few months after I broke my wrist after converting it to one handed. It was great to be able to ride.

    FS: Virtually New Original Carbon Fiber Race Case

    Yes way cool carbon fibre beauty and available to you unlike the current model that is sold out and would have cost you $260! Sweet deal! Dreams of someday owning a V20/S30/S40/Silvio to be worthy of such carbon glory celebration.

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Could you tell where the rear wheel(s) are? Ingenious use of existing materials. I especially like the front “bike” and the crutch.

    I'm not sure I like the poll feature in this thread for our current purpose. Based only on the above comments it looks like @Seth Cooper @Mathew Fy @3bs and @benphyr have participated in the this poll, maybe others but we can't tell. We can't tell who has voted where and if @3bs is not...

    fairing missing from end bikeism

    It has a primary purpose that is rain relief but it still does decrease aerodynamic drag. I say call it a fairing and let scoffers scoff until they can provide you with a better one across all the categories: rain, aerodynamics, weight, cost, ease of construction, etc.

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

    I am tentatively out of town July 16-Aug 3 but if that works best for others go for it. Maybe a calendar of dates that would be possible for each would be helpful. Then if you would come you can mark on your dates of availability and we can go for the date that works best for most. I've added...

    Does a vocal church mouse sing in the choir? Maybe a rodential choir? Just a little bit squeaky on the high notes. :D

    Help with sliding down & forward on S40!

    With the moving bottom bracket - front wheel drive of the Cruzbike you can easily stretch yourself for the pedals without meaning to. The max extension length between hip and pedal stays virtually constant on most bikes but on this one when you turn the outside leg has to reach further (and the...

    @Lucia @Maria Parker @Robert Holler or whoever is in charge of organizing THE Cruzbike retreat this year, can you weigh in on: 1. Whether Cruzbike is considering having this become THE Cruzbike Retreat 2020? 2. What date is set / tentative for THE Cruzbike Retreat?

    I am in for sure, with whatever options. Below are my preferences.. but again I am game for whatever gets organized and will be there unless I am thousands of miles away at the time (unlikely). It sounds to me like you would be a great organizer and additionally you have given me ideas for...

    MTB brakes/shifters on CB w drop bars?

    @paco1961 Do you use a 1x, 2x or 3x chainring setup? I ask because it seems that going from 1x10 to 1x11 might be worth it to gain smaller gaps or greater gearing range but once you add the 2x or 3x that would get you the greater range and better spacing, no? And it would probably be cheaper...
