Thanks for the advice and links Blair, It is so good to have "real" feedback from someone who rode on them. I actually searched over on BROL and found the thread and reference to Chung. I am split at this point: Partly because I use Garmin Vector pedals and the only version I can used...

Has anyone on this forum ever personally used powercranks before? I have searched the Cruzbike forum posts and only saw one mention of it in the "short crank arms" post, and only mentioned because they have adjustable crank lengths. The company website is: www.powercranks.com From reading...

Thanks Bob!! You're the man! I just purchased this set as well. Any you where right Bob - the guy replies like lightning! Another hint for a better price: Compare the Ebay listing with his online store. At the time I purchased: I pointed out that the Ebay listing was less than his store...

So, the new V20 boom is So, the new V20 boom is larger than the Silvio 2.0 Nice to know - Now it just needs to be red, and say Cruzbike on it somewhere!

Do you need the internal Do you need the internal wiring setup, or is the V tube big enough to house the external stuff?

Bob, The Mavic wheel set is Bob, The Mavic wheel set is OpenPro, with Ultegra Hub, Gatorskin tire, regular tubes Just a basic run of the mill training wheel really. Not nearly as nice as what I had on my Silvio (Velocity A23 with disk rotor), but I did not really want disk brakes on the...

Thanks Buddy I went out and rode my V2.0 and tested with my Mavic wheelset with Gator tires, against my new CF 88mm rims with Cont- 4000S II tires. I was riding on the outer lane of the high school track, so nice and flat. Worst thing was the 10 mph wind, but it was pretty steady at least. I...

Great job Tweed!! We all have had similar experiences learning to ride the Cruzbike! The Quest was probably a really good choice for a first ride on MBB Cruzbike. I started out on a SIlvio 2.0 (28% seat incline), and it was also my first recumbent experience. It tool me about 10 days...

Rick, I have: Continental Rick, I have: Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II on them with latex tubes. Still have not been able to run a field test yet, but am hoping to tomorrow. It is supposed to be really nice weather. Based on others results, I am anticipating about 1/2 mph gain in the 20...

Here are the pics with Cont 4000S II, and latex tubes

Finally got my 88mm Carbon FIber Wheel set. Bike looks fast just sitting there! I have not ridden on them yet, but hope to in the next week, and will provide comparison data.. (Once again, no way to attach a photo to this first thread of a post - not sure why) so, see below

Rick, Yes you must downshift Rick, Yes you must downshift for climbing. I am not 100% sure about full coasting on the downhills though. I know the resistance pretty much almost totally goes away on the downhills, and the kickr has a huge flywheel, so the "wheel" will continue to spin and...

My V on the Wahoo KICKR As promised, here are some pictures of the V mounted on the KICKR. It is pretty nice and not that hard to mount, although it still takes me ~10 minutes and of course I get greasy since requires messing with the chain. I have used the Wahoo app on my Galaxy S5, and...

O love that Screaming Green! I think it would look great on a V! Maybe V20 3.0?

Thanks Ivan: I have the VIRB mounted with the velcro wrist strap at the very front of the boom, right at the bottom bracket. But it eventually vibrated off, as you can see from the video. I had to stop several times to adjust and tighten it. Earlier I had it mounted on the furthermost point...

This was using VIRB edit Rick, Very easy to cut and splice video segments. Multiple dashboards to be able to use as well Eric - Using Vector Pedals. It was this past Monday. Nov 3rd. Before my 2 weeks off in Honduras I did a similar ride up 6% and steeper slopes. I could push about 200...

Here is a link to my Youtube link of my recent ride. http://youtu.be/bdEkzOhX_cM It is quite long, but you can check out different parts of the ride. I really like the way the VIRB editors lets you overlay different dashboards on your screen to show you data I had the VIRB camera mounted...

I have a "shorten" V2.0 boom I have a "shorten" V2.0 boom for anyone that needs it! haha Sorry - couldn't resist!

Great job Bob!! Man, 50 ft per mile! That is incredible. This is a 1% grade average for all your miles!! And you have more climbing per mile than I do for the year! I have calculated mine So far this year (started riding Cruzbike S mid June) - 5750 miles, and only 188,476 feet climbed...

Indoor Hondurain recumbent pics .... Odd - when creating a post, it doesn't give me the "File attachments" link for some reason.. oh well.
