    First Crash On the Vendetta

    Sorry for your crash @ScottRadliff ! I have seen a couple of youtube videos recently of new Vendetta V20 owners crashing. Yours is the third I have seen within a month. In my humble opinion, the V20 is not suitable for first time cruzbike/recumbent owners who want to get the bike and hit the...

    T50 Cruiser Special Edition $1200

    Would you sell it as a frameset only? Just wondering, it might be ideal for someone who likes modifications and tinkering.

    T50 vs Q45 boom stiffness?

    I wonder if a Q45/S40 front triangle ( fork, stays and boom) can be mounted onto a T50 frame. Anyone tried? Does Cruzbike sell the S40/Q45 front triangle as spares?

    Biking Across Kansas on my Q45

    My bad, I measured again and my BB is only about 5cm above the lowest point of the seat.

    how to stop wobbling

    Thank you for adding the third video, it makes it clearer. Yes, there is a random zigzag motion to the bike during pedalling. It appears to me that it does not ride a straight line. I noticed a few things: When you are coasting ,you seem to track straight and more stable, hence the problem is...

    how to stop wobbling

    Doesn't look like much of a "wobble" to me but left and right alternating compensation by the arm and shoulders to the pedal stroke. It is equivalent to that of a DF only that this time it is horizontal. Can you follow a line on the road and ride true? You need to ask a cycling buddy to follow...

    My T50 Emeljay Mod

    Thank you in advance! I usually use my bathroom scale. I pick up the bike, step on the scale, then I repeat without the bike and get the difference. My second question: Is there any lateral(sideways) play to the seat? I ask because I'am curious about the fact that there is no integral part of...

    S-40 with Thor Carrier Seat

    I think the little hump at the front of an Easy GS is only in the middle of the front curve of the seat and is intended to stop the rider from sliding forward on a recumbent with seat reclines higher than 34 degrees. I think its a clever design.

    Biking Across Kansas on my Q45

    I think it depends on each individual because our heights are all different relative to the bicycle. I don't have statistics but for me a lower bottom bracket puts less pressure as long as the seat curve at the bottom is not pointing too sharply upwards. However when I reclined my seat lower I...

    Comfortable Vendetta brevet setup

    Could this have been your bike before it was sold to you? Look at the bag setup:

    Biking Across Kansas on my Q45

    Congratulations! And yes, a reclined position reduces recumbent butt problem but also allowing your body time to adopt to the position is also important. I personally also think the recumbent butt is also affected/cuased by the shape of the seat curve at the lowest point and by the position of...

    S30 fork components for free! (+shipping)

    If cruzbike sells the S40 fork+stays plus boom as spare units then probably it would be best to change entire front triangle of the Silvio.2.0 because the new design of the stays clamp to the BB shell and not the BB cups as before. just my humble guess...

    V20 Chainstay Length (Large)

    Hi Ivan, Your Silvio is a keeper, are rare gem. If it was mine, and I had to change anything, it would only be the front triangle and replace it with a rigid one like the one on an S40. The rest of the frame especially that rear Ti leaf spring suspension is beautiful light-weight technology that...

    Rear Rack for S30 for a trunk bag

    The bike belongs to Paweł Szpryngiel from Poland, (I think, apologies if I got it wrong). He suffered an accident which resulted in full right hand and partial leg paralysis. Yet he overcame odds to learn to ride a Cruzbike Silvio S30 with one hand to raise funds and awareness for disabled...

    Rear Rack for S30 for a trunk bag

    Looks like with a bit of tweaking one can install a Low Rider "Front" Rack at the back of an S30 like on the one below: .. did I say the S30 was one sleek bicycle? !!

    Silvio S30 STOLEN

    Beautiful final edition of the S30. It was the best version. Really hope you find it, even if they leave just the frame, it would still be worth it.

    BOUGHT TODAY 2017 01 27 slightly used Silvio S30 frameset with front Suspension

    The S40 front stays do not clamp the BB cups like the S30 did. For that reason I think the S40 front triangle is better but the S30 frame (rear suspension) is better for all round road riding. Hence my conclusion that the last iteration of the Silvio S30 with a rigid front end and a suspended...
