It applies to all bikes even uprights, unless it's used for very short distances. The difference with Cruzbike is the smaller user base and the lack of a widely tested and documented fit procedure. For the S40, it's all about that seat, padding and the neckrest. Especially the bottom/lowest...

So how is it after riding for some time now? Is the recumbent butt issue gone now?

Came across this video. Thought it might be usefull for someone:

Sorry for the confusion, the washer shown in the picture above is not a BB cup washer but I think it is a dust cap washer. It came with the Shimano Sora triple Crankset and the included BB at purchase. First I don't own a Vendetta. I have an S40 and a homemade MBB copy of a cruzbike. The BB...

Interesting .. I think it 's a question of age. 2 wheeled recumbents would appeal more to the younger/middle aged (40s and 50s) who still have good balance and want to maintian good cornering speeds and maneuverability on open roads. Unfortunately this demographic has strong competition from...

Yeah! I also added a piece of lumbar support from a piece of form that was included in the S40 box. Iam quite comfortable on it. I need the neck rest . Even just for that slight feeling of support. I got too used to it , I guess. However, I had to modify mine with a a piece of PVC that I cut...

For my S40 seat, I replaced the form pad inside the cover and used a yoga mat pad instead. To get the right shape, I traced over the original pad and cut it. I also wanted to make the padding thinner. I found the stock pad too thick for my weight. I felt like I was "floating". I then extended...

Loved it! You narrate so well!

Very Nice!!

Its from Shimano. Part of the HollowTech-II Crankset assembly for road bike .

Looks like there is a washer missing.

I don't have a trainer at the moment. May be later if I find a friend willing to loan me one . For now, it's repeated road tests and strava segments.

May be I should have started a new thread on fitting but anyway here goes a long post: Another Update on my S40: So, I changed the crankset and chainring as earlier shared and then got slightly bigger shoes. First the Crankset: The 170mm cranks with a 48T chainring works well with the stock...

Thanks Billy. I must clarify that I don't think my hotfoot issue was cuased by the S40. I had been having the issue on my homemade recumbent too. Especially torwards the end of a long ride on a warm day. But it had become more pronounced lately and I was suspecting the shoes. Maybe the leather...
