    Mathew's bike tours.

    Wow, that was a serious newbie error... but I'm not such a newbie anymore. Maybe one day I'll be old enough to use the age vs. technology (ahem) excuse. Does 40 count? 50? 60? When can you make that claim? Anyway, nice video.

    @Mathew Fy it seems to be a picture. Who went on the half pipe in the background with their V?

    Looking for a S or V on a budget

    I agree. Grip shift is not my favourite but it works fine on my QX100. The bar that I have came with when I got it used and it is a Salsa Woodchipper. It puts the hands fairly vertical and the grip shift is better that way - quite good. A simple bar swap may be in your future. I do prefer...

    Looking for a S or V on a budget

    With "cheap road bike, 28lbs, 1x7" that opens up this suggestion: a used Q (Q45, QX100, Quest) would be an upgrade and a great way to get into Cruzbike - the price is right, and the seating position is adjustable to allow you to make adjustments as you learn and find out what your preferences...

    S40 weight disadvantage on hill climb in wind speed equivalent

    I call bull-sh17 on that one: it is an aero-belly, a piece of aerodynamic brilliance specially added by precision mixing of beverages, sipping of beverages, imbibing of beverages, tasting morsels and tasting morels, touring Holland and touring Hollandaise, reclining on the La-Z-boy and lazing...

    Our Three T50 Builds, and Maybe a Sofrider Retro-fit

    I resemble that remark. I love the description! Locked and loaded. @NeaL you are a bullet.

    2019 Cruzbike Summer Time Trial Challenge

    @GetBent Welcome - I hope to be involved next time too. Keep your eyes out on this forum because Larry has already indicated plans for future Time Trials (TT). Don't worry about your times - it is all about improvement. Some of the riders last time had absolutely no experience with any kind...

    2019 Cruzbike Summer Time Trial Challenge

    I have to agree with Rojo and support the ongoing striving towards cyclists hold the higher ground and being above reproach. :emoji_thumbsup: (With a footnote that this seems out of character for @LarryOz based on reading many posts filled with level headedness, consideration, kindness, etc. but...

    Quest 3.0 for sale

    Looks like a great ride especially for someone looking for dual-drive, oval chainring, all quick release disassembly, disc brakes, or commuter set up. (Check the front shock or don't worry about the front shock like the rest of us that own later models.)

    Cruzbike at the Opera?

    If Sean does want to use the Cruzbike maybe this red T50 with extra large decal-ing would suit the product placement bill better. https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/new-unused-limited-edition-red-t-50-frame-set-for-sale.13051/ Cruzbike at the Met. And Cruzbike to the Met. Both have a nice...

    Eyeware

    They should be paying rent anyway. This helmet is cheap. https://www.benditcycling.com/Recumbent_Gear.html it will help you decide whether you want to buy something more expensive. As for sun glasses - you will have to try them on and look for ones that have little gap at the bottom of...

    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    @augiedog I found Boeshield T9 to be significantly different in the spray version from the liquid version. Either will work in a pinch when you are chain waxing to tide you over but as RojoRacing says it is a little stickier. Boeshield and Squirt are two of the wax-based lubricants that...

    My First Trail Ride (an out of parking lot experience)

    Different people mean different things with trail, crushed, stone, path, gravel, etc. 3/4" gravel like the stuff on the shoulder of the road, base under a driveway, especially if loose, is brutal to ride on any bike let alone a skinny tire racing recumbent! Gravel Dust, coarse aggregate...

    Drive train noise on T50

    Sounds like a universal solution. As for help so everyone feels like they have input and are a help. Remove the hearing aids so you don't have to hear all the suggestions AND so that you don't hear the problem anymore. Triple solution!
