I hope it’s more than just components and colors. If not, it hardly merits being called the next gen since you can always change components. Let’s see what is revealed in the unveiling later in November. Hopefully some surprises will emerge!

I try to get a q-factor of about 160 mm with short cranks. I’m using Origin8 cranks with light square taper bottom brackets (Omni Racer). I’ve been running anywhere from 140 to 155 mm cranks arm lengths. Ray

I've had a few Apex cranks and they have a SRAM standard 145 q-factor. Pretty narrow, but made for road bikes and not so out of the norm for those. For some reason, I find myself more sensitive to q-factor/stance on a recumbent than an upright diamond frame. The Apex 145 width gave me severe...

I found a magic solution in shrink tubing for golf grips. I put them on my S30 and had no slippage over a few years of heavy use. This came up in an earlier thread at https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/bar-wrap-grips.13900/page-2#post-169558 Only need to replace it when you decide it can no...

I usually run 55-60 psi on Conti 5000 or 5000 S at 32 mm. My weight is 175-180.

Sorry, the bike has sold already. Thanks for the inquiry!

The Adjustable CF seat is fine; a significant improvement over the OEM flat seat for me at least. The included adjustable neckrest is also great. Really nothing to dislike, expect it'd be nice if it were free... :)

Works fine for touring. The limiting clearance for tire sizes are set by the rear brake bridge width. Measurements give; 700c tires limited to 30mm max, 28 is more comfortable. 650b wheel max clearance is 39 mm, max tire size is about 35 mm for 2 mm clearance on each side. I've run 32 x 650b...

Hi All, I have for sale a Cruzbike S30. This is the now-discontinued “Goldilocks” or “Unicorn” Cruzbike version that sat between the V20c and the S40 with an approximate 30-degree seat angle. It has a carbon-fiber rear leaf suspension with an elastomer spring/damper. This bike was bought...

I have one of the last S30 sold, and am planning to put in on the market imminently. It is in excellent condition and ready to ride. If you are interested, give me a holler for details.

FWIW, I have an S30 that I've been thinking of putting up for sale. It is one of the last ones sold and is in excellent condition and I have lots of options available for it (e.g. seats, sliders, etc.). Give me holler if you wish to discuss it. Ray

FWIW, I have the fat bike version of the 1 Up rack, and the front arm fits between the crank arms and the bb. So all I have to do to hold my S30 is lower the crossbar one or two positions and the front wheel is held tightly by design. You could convert your rack to the fat bike tray but I...

I put the two layers of grip tape underneath to give a larger diameter grip area with some cushion.

I think I used the 35mm size. It will depend a bit on what kind and how many layers of regular grip tape you put under it. I usually wrap two layers of generic grip tape down first and then secure it with the rod grip shrink tubing.

Lots of brand names on Amazon. An example at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HSZGR9Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Just search on: Heat Shrink Wrap Tubing for Rod Grip and you should see several. Ray

I run 32mm Conti 5000s on my S30 with Reynolds AR 650b wheels. A sweet combo with a slightly lowered seat. Ray

A few years ago I put some shrink tubing made for grips on my S30 (https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/bar-wrap-grips.13900/page-2#post-169558). It has worked fantastically well. Has removed all unraveling and I just use it all the time. I place it over the regular grip tape only in the area for...

I mounted an Origin 8 Light Mount Stub (can see on the Accessories section on the CB store) on the carbon seat headrest mount and it holds a Varia just fine.

I’ve used the Archer Dx1 system on my Azub SIX and was thinking of putting it on my S30. The system is very flexible and does work reliably. However, as the reviews on the web state, it does shift a bit slower than an integrated system like the SRAM AXS. If you ride aggressively you may want...

If the Q45 still has the metal seat, you could replace it with a Thor Easy carbon seat.
