Should the bars be closer? Should the BB be closer? Etc, etc. This machine is an honorary Cruzbike.

I rode it again and the back tyre went flat. Luckily I was near home so I pushed it. I discovered a hole in the innertube through which I could put my finger. I put in a new tube and put the wheel back on, and then noticed that the lump was still there. I decided to take the tyre off to...

They are loops. As long as the loops are closed you are okay. The screws need to be tight enough not to spontaneously unscrew. The loops are meant to wrap around the BB, not constrict it.

This is not where I live. Only about 5 miles from home, but I went up a hill to get here. I could just about manage this hill on the old one. The thing that got me was breathlessness. The lower gears makes it easier. I think it is because they allow me to go slower. Fortunately this...

Or you could just make a friction shifter. Or get a IGH.

Genius. Classic ironmongery add-on. I thought I was the king, but I hand the crown to @Tor Hovland.

I rode it. Sorry, this is a cross-post. Could not resist it.

I rode it. Up a hill. Chain retention is rock solid. Shifting seems a bit better than on the Silvio, but maybe the chain on that one was worn. It does not seem any more bumpy than the Silvio. Climbing seems easy, but it was not the worst hill. I am going mountaineering soon. I think the...

Anybody who uses a triple crank needs help.

Cracked ribs is horrible. You cannot laugh, but why would you want to? What is bad is coughing.

I attached an Easy Reacher rack. The last modification. Restrap bags. The last picture I took. So they got the rack and the bags too.

The problem for a Cruzbike with a big dinner plate is front wheel spin. The only way I can climb is by going slow and keeping my watts low. On the Silvio I mastered the wheel spin and the low speed balance. The new one has a bigger dinner plate and smaller wheels. I wonder how much...

I owned this one until recently. Silvio2 with custom handlebars and mudguards. It has the old Cruzbike underseat bag. It was the first ever 11sp Cruzbike. Custom handlebars with the friction shifter. You can also see the famous heel-clip pedal. Ignore the terrible cable-routing. It...

I ordered the Sram link and I am waiting for it. This is the only impediment to riding the bike. The brakes work. Hy-rd and compressionless cable. If anyone is interested, the rear cable is 148mm. You may want it a bit longer depending on your routing. 200mm would give you big loops. I...

I have not got the mech working yet but I screwed it on and threaded the chain through and spun the pedals in top gear. HG+ chain does mesh with 11sp ring, but the link gives it a hiccup. I will try a Sram link. I followed the Shimano instructions for finding the chain length, but the chain...

Wow, a bike that is already built, and all the bits fit together. I heard such things existed.

Front wheel is on. I got a long skewer from Hope. You guessed it - too long. It sticks out a mile. Why does this stuff happen to me? So I made a sort of shim thingy out of a thru-axle end nut and a mysterious object whose original purpose is lost in the mists of time. Amazing piece of luck...

Do small wheels make front wheel spin any more or less likely?

Rub it in, why don't you?
