http://support.trainerroad.com/hc/en-us/articles/201794984-20-Minute-vs-8-Minute-FTP-Test My guess is you might like the 8minute test better. It's still an hour on the trainer but it's more interesting. that said the 20 minute one tends to be more for the long distance long hour guys. Very...

Boom has the BB Slider has the handlebar Kline that's what I would expect from your photos. I'm 5'9" but my x-seam is only 42". That ratio of Xseam to height will control how far back your entire boom is. There's no way I can fit on the bike without a cut down my arms would be too far back for...

Another way to go about it; is find a 1 CRIT race or a 1 hour TT; and just try and go for the win. You average Power for the event will basically be your FTP and should work great for building training metrics against. It's also a lot more in keeping with your go fast personality If you...

IF step 10 is the chip barrel at Sebring, you are saying you ride around it twice? :cool:

If you are using a pipe cutter (cheap ones can be had a homedepot) and not a hacksaw . Put bike front wheel in a floor stand Disconnect front derailleur cable Loosen BB clamp bolts Remove Bolt from Boom Fork Stem Clamp Loosen wheel Skewer Put a towel on ground and lower crank to ground Position...

If you are 5'9" and you shorten the boom; then you can move the entire boom as a fixed whole further out. That outward translation will straighten your arms and reduce the flex in your knee. From your avatar if that is your bike, and you are 5'9" then your handle bars do look a bit too far back...

Before buying cranks and cutting booms; Step one is to make sure you have the "A" length of your boom set correctly. PDF attached if you want to print this off. You want a boom length that allows around 5mm of knee clearance at the handle bars. This will tell you if you need to cut your boom to...

To clarify you are saying that you feel that both of these are true: Your knee is bending too much at the back end of the stroke The reach is too far when the pedal is fully extended Two Photos of you sitting on the bike would help a lot; one with your leg all the way back and one with it...

Not there there is a correct way for anything; but since the bike is designed to use road components..... The Cable adjust on the boom is for the front derailleur; a typical road rear derailleur will have the barrel adjuster built into the derailleur body itself and no front derailleurs have...

Here you go Bob: http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/spring-time-learning-to-ride-time.10889/

The above is derived from the script we use when people come for test rides here in the Minneapolis area. 1) Find a parking lot with about a 1-2% pitch. Go to the high end. 2) Do 5 coast down with your feet up in the air spread eagle. Yeah it sounds stupid; but get them as high as you can...

Spring weather is teasing and the requests for help locating this information are flowing in. The official learning instructions are here: http://cruzbike.com/learn-to-ride.html Don't miss the videos on that page, they explain far better than words. For those that prefer to live in the forum...

B is the width. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/650b.html If that tire is what it claims and tested at. It has some interesting implications for rando bikes built with 650 rims. The idea of running at 30psi with the same CDr as a race wheel is interesting. CDa should be nominal but weight is...

Might be time to build Larry a vendetta that can run these tires.... http://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/mtb-reviews/schwalbe-big-one-2016 "Schwalbe claims the Big One, when mounted tubeless, is the fastest tire they have ever produced. If that claim is true, it should have less rolling...

Installing the cleat on to the shoe is simple, but futzy. The cleat is in three pieces: the cleat, the lock pad and the lock lifter. On the end of the cleat you will see an adjustment screw. Do not mess with that screw, it is factor set and frozen in place with red lock-tite. If you ever need to...

Well sad to report that our order for SRAM E-Tap was cancelled by the supplier because SRAM pushed out the shipping date. As such we lost our spot in the queue. So while I search for another source I thought we would do an update with some parts we do have. So today we are going to make Frogs...

The new shimano pd-mt50's might also be a good choice for beginners.

60mm on the power2max; I don't think 50mm will fit.

Oldest daughter learned on those pedals for that reason and it worked really well.

I can pull the power2max off tonight and measure it after dinner. Give me 2 hours and I'll get you the I.D. measurement.
