Brilliant job, Jason. Well done! Now, who's next on the list...? Found it: Larry Oz has completed 2 laps of the 12 hr and is currently riding 2nd only a few seconds behind Rich Putish (another recumbent rider). Go Larry, Go! Jim P. starts at 11am for the 6hr, Maria starts at 3pm for the...

I'm running 16omm in the front and 140mm in the rear. I think the rear will only go to 140 without mods. I'm running Spyre HY/RD on both, they're excellent.

As of 5pm Central...

Lap 13, 344.5 miles and 45min ahead of his nearest competitor... Rock it, Jason!

Steel is very forgiving to bend with heat. Aluminum is not. To 'get it right' with aluminum, you need to know the specific alloy in order to 'anneal' it (make it softer). Trouble is, once you anneal it, you need some special equipment to re-harden it or bring it back to a specific temper. Best...

Sorry, that only qualifies as half a doughnut. Yer gonna need to upgrade yer power supply!

I used to regularly fly out to Fremont/San Jose (25+ yrs ago) and only once did I see the hills green. I was so used to brown that I thought I was in the wrong area! I sent my brother a link to that video and received an :eek: "aaaaaiiiiiiiieeeeeee!" :eek: reply. He rides a GRR and rarely...

Dear Cruzbike, DO NOT offer the S40 in cobalt blue, please. I own/ride 4 Cruzbikes already. Another one will likely result in a hospital stay due to blunt force trauma. :eek: Miz Diane has a skillet with my name on it already!

Good thing we don't have descents like that around here. Bad enough that I was up to 48mph on my Catrike once. Once was enough! :eek:

I'm going to have to place an order then! Thanks!

Xshifter announced yesterday that they would be at Interbike, teaming with "Morf", a handlebar manufacturer who makes movable bits for handlebars...probably a great pairing as Xshifter eliminates cables on the bars, etc. Would be very cool (as I've mentioned before) if Cruzbike would team with...

Yah, I just posted a new thread about this. Great opportunity for Cruzbike to be a demo vehicle for the upcoming Recumbent Cycle-Con in October! I'm just hoping they start shipping soon. I'd rather demo it in the beautiful fall weather than to test the batteries' capacity to endure freezing...

Hello? @Lucia? @Maria Parker? @Jim Parker ? Paul Gallagher (Xshifter) posted to his facebook page that he is looking for somebody to display his product at Interbike (Sept 20-22). Yah, nobody recumbent will be there...but I would suggest that Cruzbike contact him for a unit to display at RCC...

I agree with the race directors who are trying to make their race 'more inclusive' by adding categories (age, gender, bicycle type, etc.). Recumbents are a tiny niche at the moment. However, I also think that (when there is the opportunity) there should be a separate podium for overall...where...

We both work for a living...so we each only get so many vacation hours per year. Can't afford to take time off without pay either. We have to reserve a buffer so that we can deal with emergencies. So, we had our monthly planning session last night and determined that we were pushing our limits...

Well, it has been a tough couple of months for us caregivers. We've had to burn most of our precious vacation time on emergencies of one sort or another; caring for your elderly parents isn't for the faint of heart. I have to cancel my attendance at the White Lake Retreat in October. I was...

Looking forward to the launch of the V20.1 (or whatever it is). I'm hoping that 'upgrade' accessories like the new chainstay will be part of the upgrade. I'd like to see other accessories made available...like a T50 fork (to 'upgrade' my V2/k).

As long as the big money goes to DF's, recumbents will remain a sideshow. With the balance of power very heavily on DF's, in the short term, winning any major event (even if we could get in) is going to result in either a post-race rulebook change for that race or a cold shoulder and a pile of...

The USAT controls bike design much like the UCI does. USAT Rule para. 5.11 (c): "(c) A vertical line touching the front most point of the saddle may be no more than 5 centimeters in front of and no more than 15 centimeters behind a vertical line passing through the center of the chain wheel...

Which one did you buy? At least we'll know what not to buy! I am not at all sure a single-leg traditional style kickstand will work on a Cruzbike. What I would be looking for is a double or Vee type. Getting one that is long enough to do the job is the problem...and they're heavy. Niagra Bikes...
