    Adjustable Carbon Fiber Seat on the S40

    Thanks for this. It is useful. I have an S30 and have tried the S40 seat extension with the Adjustable CF seat. It seems to work OK, but I missed the use of a foam interface between the seat and the extension, so the interface is rough and somewhat stressful on the carbon parts. Can you...

    Hanging my S40

    I just hang my S30 from the wheels upside down using either a pulley system similar to that shown or simple hooks on a Saris Glide bike storage system. Gets the bike high enough to be out of the way with no problem. The wheels have Reynolds ATR carbon rims and they do just fine. YMMV.

    New Adjustable Carbon Fiber Seat and Headrest for the Cruzbike V and S series

    I have somewhat of the same feelings. However, I am using the new seat on an S30. It still has the butt-sliding problem as the S40 but maybe not quite as much. I am using an S40 seat extender with a dual foam cushion (Volae). The transition from the seat to the extender is not noticeable with...

    New carbon fiber adjustable seat…

    I have never been comfortable with the lack of any shoulder return - it’s just too flat for me. I use a Volae carbon seat instead, but the mount is not elegant. However I’ve always liked the lightness and easy mount of the CB seat.

    New carbon fiber adjustable seat…

    From the V20c preview emails, we get a glimpse of the new CB carbon seat for the V and the S40. Since it fits those two, I’m guessing it would also fit my S30. The carbon seat has always been the weakest link in their road bike designs in my view. The new one looks much better, and I want...

    Setting an A5-RR1

    I just took it from the manual (above) that says "Do Not Exceed 180 psi"

    Setting an A5-RR1

    The documentation for these particular shocks is pretty thin on the web, but eventually the story becomes clearer. Basically you are using the large-volume main chamber to mainly set the top-out pressure of the shock. That is set such that regular riding has a max compression drop of about 50%...

    Whats up with the Bentrider forums

    My understanding is that they are experiencing web site issues that have been exacerbated by holiday delays in support and some family diversions (new child), etc. It should be back soon. I believe you can get more info at their Facebook page.

    Thor Easy GS Medium mount to S40

    This is all probably too late, but a few observations: I had an old Thor Easy seat that I easily fit to a first edition S40 by: 1) cutting small holes in the sides of the reinforcing ribs to allow the upper seat attachment wings to slip into the void of the ribs, while attaching the upper seat...

    Crupi short crank questions

    I almost require short cranks just to get my handlebars at a reasonable distance. Otherwise I don’t think I’d still be riding my S30. However, I’ve not noticed any real impact on pedal steer. Also they do reduce knee stress in my case.

    That's very nice of you to say, but c'mon I could scuff it up and remove any small improvements. Would look right at home! Ha!

    S40 Chainring - for lower gearing

    Actually, the SRAM Eagle set supports a 12-speed 10-52t cassette without over-stressing the derailleur. It’s a pretty nice range…

    S40 Chainring - for lower gearing

    I had an XD hub already, but they also advertise a shimano freehub compatible cassette. I believe it is a 11-46t or 11-50t. The 11-50 would require a derailleur cage upgrade, I believe.

    S40 Chainring - for lower gearing

    In a similar approach, I changed my 1x11 drivetrain on my S30 to use the 10-48t 11-speed cassette from Garbaruk. This required the extended derailleur cage but works very well, better than the SRAM cassette with the 46t Wolf Tooth cog. If you choose the 10-46t cassette, you apparently do not...
