Iam grateful Jim! The cruzbike always captures attention everywhere I go!

This past weekend, I had a fun 4-day charity group tour between Kenya and Tanzania on my S40! Total about 521Km (324 miles) https://www.strava.com/activities/10267260220 https://www.strava.com/activities/10273345677 https://www.strava.com/activities/10278554994...

This is not cruzbike related, but I thought it interresting. Especially relating to loaded touring. This was posted by a French cyclo tourist/blogger passing through Kenya (My Country). His loaded folding AZUb trike frame failed while on the highway. Pretty scary.

Most trainers work fine if you temporarily remove the (front) disc brake caliper .

Oh sorry! After I got the replacement boom, I was very carefull to ensure not to exceed 5Nm evenly on the 4 bolts. I used a torque wrench this time. No guess work. I pray and hope it never happens again.

Glad your have found a solution. The midfoot cleat is primarily supposed to solve feet numbness (a.k.a "hotfoot", hot spots, Mortons Neuroma e.t.c.) that may occur when pressure is put on the nerves at the ball of the foot. Not everyone experiences "hotfoot" though. As an added benefit, ( for...

There is a general concept that recumbent cycling is best with shorter cranks than what would typically be on upright bicycles. 165mm cranks are the shortest commonly available and commercially produced cranks. Hence the choice. Other people install custom cranks that can be as short as 150mm...

I tested the setup for the first time this weekend. It added some 600+ grams to my bike:rolleyes:. The bag also needs to be stuffed up otherwise it does not retain a good aero shape. However, it does have plenty of carrying space for a rain jacket, pump, puncture kit, snacks e.t.c should I need...

Beautiful bike! Great progress in such a short time! When you feel comfortable you can practice a technique called "bridging". It's good for short (less than 100m) punchy climbs. Also good when going over speed bumps. Enjoy!

Good point on the S40/S30/V20 wheel slip comparison. I think the main reason S40 is likely to slip despite being more upright is the inherent design that puts the rider higher and further back from the front wheel. I've, always wondered why but it apppears that it was intended to create a...

For V20, it's even better! Have a look at @Frito Bandito 's setup.

As @LarryOz said, the boom position will be slightly shorter than what is considered normal for the usual "cleat-over-ball-of-the-foot" position. You will have to refine it with feel. For me, I took side pictures of my self and estimated the knee angle when the pedal is furthest from me. You...

Testing a mount on S40 with pieces of aluminium. Will probably paint them black later. (It also looks like a good frame for a partial aero sock :cool: .)

Interesting adapter I came aross on Aliexpress. If used in reverse it can make a great midfoot cleat mounting system: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005336719513.html

Try midfoot cleats and shorten the boom to match. Maybe it might help. Just maybe. https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/mid-foot-shoe-adapter-has-anyone-tried-this.14114/

Congratulations! What was your gearing combination?

@Frito Bandito , Thank you very much! What material is that frame piece that supports the bag? Aluminium?

I have started a new thread here: https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/affordable-aero-tailbags.15296/

Avery recumbent bicycle deserves a good aero tail bag right? Let's post some good ideas here: 1. Bachetta Brain bags 2. Radical Solo Aero bags 3. Generic Motorcycle Tail bags found on Aliexpress. They have quite a variety!. They are about 400g. Check...
