    S30 - Would you buy one if Cruzbike could do a limited run of s30 in 2021?

    getting the weight off the backside through recline is for me is like for you one answer. The other answer is time and acclimation on that bike . You can get used to it and symptoms lesson over time for me. otherwise I have to stop and walk around a few minutes. Which is always okay too. slim...

    S30 - Would you buy one if Cruzbike could do a limited run of s30 in 2021?

    One thing for sure if any company would do this for its customers it would be cruzbike. :) as you say slim the ability to dismantle into a small package to save a few hundred dollars is an advantage. as is suspension for you. Ahem slim.

    S30 - Would you buy one if Cruzbike could do a limited run of s30 in 2021?

    Opinion. I would think the s30 was very expensive to produce frameset with its suspension. As such margins were likely smaller. When the front suspension was dropped on the silvio it was sold as a plus. And It was a plus. Not simply expediency but a natural calculated step forward. The...

    My sofrider sits on the kickr trainer. No nil on road power meter for the sofrider. marathons are unexpectedly not that slow. Marathon plus are very slow. Scorchers are fast but wear even faster. There is a rolling resistance test site that rated the marathon faster than the kojak. Kojaks...

    No I couldn’t even though I’d love to as my sweetheart would send me off to the opera. As castrati I think the mix now of available bikes is balanced and pretty perfect. Thank you cruzbike. real delineated lines. Offering variety. the s30 is in its own right a beautiful machine but it’s...

    Still looking at the T50

    And importantly comfort is paramount and related directly to speed. If youre not comfy you may well be a lot slower on a very fast bike. For example rubbish roads pothole repaired the slower suspended bike is actually faster as you can pedal still in comparison to the flighty thoroughbred...

    Spring Time - Learning To Ride Time

    is any suspended adventure bike fast. Probably not. Technique recumbent fitness tyre selection seat layback and terrain selection. You will get faster. As fast as your own roadbike..... maybe not. But it’s early days and the df is a lighter more restricted machine. Gravel bikes are the df go to...

    How difficult is it to replace front disc brake cable housing?

    Sorry frito to be clear there is no risk mix matching brake cable outers from different manufacturers. As far as I am aware. I’ve used shimano and jag wire only. I edited my last post to be clearer. There is a serious risk of using gear outer cable as a brake outer. As the actual brake...

    Still looking at the T50

    Not exactly a t50 which would be a little faster but my sofrider with heavy marathon plus gets along easily at 25 klm per hour. Similar effort sees the vendetta at 36 klm per hour. the t50 is lighter more adjustable and I’d see it would be closer to your roadbike performance depending upon...

    How difficult is it to replace front disc brake cable housing?

    no it won’t. That would be very dangerous. Mechanical Brake and shifter outers are wound differently. Brake outers require them to be capable of withstanding a lot more force. As such brake cable will pull through shifter cable outers due to its longitudinal wired casing. Brake outers are...
