Your original question was about rando rides, and that’s not my thing, so I didn’t respond. The thread has expanded to recumbutt, possibility of a Thor seat, and storage on a Q45. About 3 months after I got my Q45 in 2018, I did a weeklong tour of 55 miles per day & did experience recumbutt on...

...on gearing and driveline. 5. i have ridden many multiday rides on the 20 and the 40. the longer the days the more i prefer the 20 as i get recumbutt on the 40 around 100. the steeper the climbs the more i prefer the 40, so i can push on my back. i have experienced wheels slip on both so bad i...

Which Thor seat did you get?

Thor seat was a game changer for me. Totally fixed the dreaded recumbutt and the seat area has a nice contour to it. Combine that with a thicker Ventisit pad and you have one comfortable ride. I believe I have a 2021 S40 and the Thor seat only required me to drill two holes near the seat...

It may come down to comfort more than weight. You’ll find various discussions of recumbutt that is likely due to seat angle. If you’ve already been riding long distances then it should work. As for the weight question I’m sure there are plenty of opinions/thoughts in this forum.

I have to have at least a 30 degree seat back. Any higher and I experience recumbutt. I also don't like the dorky handlebars. I would need S40 type handlebars. Finally, I would want the Thor Carrier seat. Not sure if this bike is adaptable for it. I already have 3 CruzBikes. This bike...

...may need tweaking, I felt some strain in my glutes as they are working more than on the Silvio due to a straighter backrest but no actual recumbutt to speak of (once I solved an issue of my base layer shirt bottom « curling » and pressing on my lower back). I missed the suspension of the...

I've actually watched your Youtube videos - I'm so grate I've just realised that I have watched your Youtube videos! thanks for taking the time to put them out there - Its great to be able to watch your ride

...had plenty of life in them. Since getting my V20 I have numerous days with 7+ hours nonstop, and the only real reason I got off when I did was boredom and I ran out of hydration/food. I was just starting to get recumbutt near the end, but it certainly wasnt discomfort that caused me to get off.

...with their headrest, but that is a personal preference. I didn’t have an issue with the seat top hitting my upper back, it was more of a recumbutt issue on those 70 mile days. I think the contour & length of the Thor will help both issues. I also was able to reduce the angle of my seat to...

...standard advice is to start with a S40 first but I don't have the cash and whilst the S40 ticks quite a lot of boxes I am concerned about recumbutt with the amount of hours that I potentially want to ride. I can't make the S40 saddle angle lower but you can alter the V20 saddle position (I...

I’ll rest my case until next weekend and my own 400 brevet but part of the recumbutt is probably due to muscle groups being used slightly differently; switching from the Silvio to the Létrange and its less reclined seat, I feel discomfort in the glute but I still don’t know (after only 350 km)...

...day. The comfort aspect really shines. - My seat angle is about 45 degrees. Much more reclined and I'd want a headrest. I tend to get recumbutt with a less reclined position. After several months and a few hundred miles of gravel, I'm really happy with this bike. It might be slightly...

So I stumbled across some motorcycle touring discussions and apparently these are used by some long distance tourers. I've got a Thor hardshell seat on my S40 so thought it might be an interesting experiment to try one out under a ventist. Apparently it adds about 1.5cm to the overall depth...

Just curious, how much does it weigh?

...made. You can read up on it in the threads. At the 30 degree angle, it’s upright enough to ride in the city but laid back enough to avoid recumbutt and be appropriate for long distance riding. I tricked this out for Randonneuring and rode PBP on it. You can see some videos of the bike and the...

...coupled with the moveable bottom bracket design takes some practice but most riders get it pretty quickly. 2) some riders experience “recumbutt” on longer rides with the stock seat. If you experience this it can usually be resolved with either the Cruzbike carbon fiber seat or one from Thor...

...day, I rode 21 km in the park. I only fell once because my shoelaces got caught in the crank :D. I totally understand your worries about 'recumbutt' and other issues, but personally, I haven’t experienced any of that. My only advice is to give yourself time to adapt—don't jump straight into...

...make sense? Or do you usually commit to one platform, adapt your body as best as possible, and progress from there? 2. Reading this forum, recumbutt and hotfoot seem to be the most frequent sources of discomfort when riding a Cruzbike. Is it normal to be affected or is it just a fraction of...

My 2¢ The V20 has much better comfort for longer rides, especially >200K. The lower angle distributes more weight to your back, reducing "recumbutt". I, like many others, ride with my head & shoulders elevated (compared to the stock V20) for improved comfort and visibility, sacrificing some...
