    SOLD - Silvio S40 - $2800 - South Anchorage, AK

    I forget what me x-seam is, but I am 74.5 inches tall with a 33 inch inseam...there is room for longer legged folks and I have had a much shorter person ride it (after adjusting)

    Lightbicycle company's carbon wheels?

    I use them on two fat bikes. Purchased the rims but had my local shop build up wheels with hubs of my choice. They are legitimate, and if you look through the mountain and road bike forums lots of folks have used them. I find their prices (if you spec with better hubs)are not that far off...

    SOLD - Silvio S40 - $2800 - South Anchorage, AK

    Everyone makes their own decisions about bikes, space, money, priorities--but yeah--it really comes down to it not being ridden. Now, that may change if the weather perks up a bit here--been rather overcast/drizzly, and the DF is my preferred ride in the damp weather. The other factor I find...

    SOLD - Silvio S40 - $2800 - South Anchorage, AK

    Felt the bicycle company-- I still very much enjoy riding my upright bikes in addition to recumbents. For off road and winter I ride a Trek Farley EX8--full suspension fat bike with 27.5x3.8 tires. This being Anchorage Alaska, that is November 1 -April 10 for snow riding, and June through...

    SOLD - Silvio S40 - $2800 - South Anchorage, AK

    Yep--that one is mine. Love it, but I also was seduced by a sexy Felt Gravel bike that was on clearance at the local bike shop, and there is only so much room at the inn (so my wife has told me). I am trying local right now, but if it does not go, I will post on here. I figure for the...

    New to cruzbike

    Just returned from a 7 mile ride. No one called in a drunk cyclist so I guess it was not too bad--actually, went well. Interestingly, one of the harder things to get used to was stretching my legs out while coasting and pedaling backwards. My speed was the same as on my upright road bike--but...

    New to cruzbike

    Welcome to the club. Yep--practice, practice, and more practice. I am new to Cruzbike also and riding an S40--40 degree seat angle so more upright than the V20. Winter is just ending here, and I am waiting for the the street sweepers to clean up the gravel and broken car parts from a winters...

    Anyone put an S40 in a travel bag like the Evoc--what worked, what didn't--pictures?

    S40 Fenders

    Yep--it is looking like it is not an easy task. I can ride my other bikes in the rain--may leave the S40 to nice weather only.

    S40 Fenders

    It is getting to be that time of year here in Alaska--snow is melting and everything is wet (well, and frozen). Ideally I would like fenders that are easy to attach, stable while in place, and easy to remove--if you have recommendations and photos of installed fenders, please post.

    It has became normal

    So, how many miles/hours did it take to get to that point for you? My first two wheeled recumbent was a catlike Musashi--great bike, but I remember "learning" to ride it--took a few weeks before it was normal for me. Then came the Rans Rifle- since this was similar to the Musashi, really no...

    Trainer recommendations

    You can leave a regular tire on with the stac zero. It uses a magnetic field around the rim so there is no contact--very slick

    Zwift - Crubike beginners guide and how to's (Q&A to get you going)

    I can understand why you did what you did--If I were taking the bike on/off the trainer with any regularity, then I would have gone with a wheel on trainer--I live in Alaska--my road bike is on the trainer from November Until May. Because the brake caliper mount is in the way, it would be a...

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    I would be interested in that-- I live in Anchorage Alaska--the fat bike movement has reshaped bike shops and cycling up here--used to be ride in the summer ski in the winter--now it is bike and ski in the winter, and the bike shops do a fairly robust winter business (bikes, tires...

    Trainer recommendations

    I am using a Tacx Neo with my S40, and Zwift--love it. First question is wheel off trainer or not? I have used both, and really like the wheel off--no tire wear. Why the Neo for me--no belts, calibration--just plug in, get on and ride. I like that it can simulate grades to 25%-(although can...
