He got the balance within 30 minutes. However , it's becuase I insisted on following a method. It looks like if I had just let him, he would have been off and ridng in 15 minutes! Anyway, once he was pedalling freely he said ".. Dad, it's just like the other (normal) bicycle .." :D Back in...

My firstborn son has grown tall enough to reach the pedals on my recumbent, and I decided it's time to teach him how to ride. Here is how it went:

Is that a Deckas Narrowwide chainring on 104BCD? What size is it? 42? 44? 46? 48? What is the largest sprocket on the cassette? Very nice setup!

Came across this video of someone trying to ride a USS(Understeat steered) RWD recumbent for the first time. Looks harder than learning an MBB to me :D I guess it all boils down to individual determination.

If you are willing to change the shifting mechanism then just go ahread and try the dropbars! I have seen some nice setups in this forum for the older Q models: (From Thread : https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/a-trail-quest-or-q650b.11010)

Nice work! If you want to share a video better to upload to youtube then share the link here.

Oh for the return of freedom! Sharp looking S40 there too!

If you have a problem with your back with a rigid more upright position then try the Cruzbike Q45. The seat angle is adjustable and it has rear suspension. It looks like really good value for money becuase it is a complete bike.

Wow! It's a lot of meticulous work! You have a lot of tools too! I like the way you shorten the crank length by drilling and threading for the pedals! What is your opinion on oval rings? Looking at your test ride, it looks like your knees interfere with the handle bars when the turn is...

Bravo Marco . I tried joining some of your live YouTube sessions but could not understand Italian. Nice work.

Interesting! I had actually thought of the same thing, theoritically atleast. Looking at an S40 frame it looked like by mountng a ribbed carbon seat and slidding it slightly forward one should achieve a lower seat angle probably in the mid thirty degrees.

On Cruzbike's facebook page, a post by Roy Cheong- Singapore: - inverted bullhorn bars @Ivan_Liew inspired? - cut steerer ? - front derailuer stalk 2x Di2 ? Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it's a Sssmokin' carrot red S40!

Additionally, according to Robert Holler, and as you may have noticed from the picture above, "let the back end hang down below the front a bit". I think it improves the balance.

I think you should clamp on the boom close to the steerer tube:

As always, thanks Billy for your efforts and generosity. I believe it shall all work out eventually.

Well done!

I think it can fit both widths. I think it's 132.5mm

I now understand. Totally repect your choice. Thank for sharing. That 40 deg recline is on the ballpark for a good balance between a natural head/shoulder position and speed. Quite rideable in traffic. And .. those colors and finish .. wow!

Nice! Iam suprised becuase most V20 owners here rarely give it(V20) up completely in exchange for a S40. They usually end up with both.

There are two spy mirrors on the handlebars just near the start of the forward bend.
