    New to cruzbike

    Welcome to the club. Yep--practice, practice, and more practice. I am new to Cruzbike also and riding an S40--40 degree seat angle so more upright than the V20. Winter is just ending here, and I am waiting for the the street sweepers to clean up the gravel and broken car parts from a winters...

    Anyone put an S40 in a travel bag like the Evoc--what worked, what didn't--pictures?

    S40 Fenders

    Yep--it is looking like it is not an easy task. I can ride my other bikes in the rain--may leave the S40 to nice weather only.

    S40 Fenders

    It is getting to be that time of year here in Alaska--snow is melting and everything is wet (well, and frozen). Ideally I would like fenders that are easy to attach, stable while in place, and easy to remove--if you have recommendations and photos of installed fenders, please post.

    It has became normal

    So, how many miles/hours did it take to get to that point for you? My first two wheeled recumbent was a catlike Musashi--great bike, but I remember "learning" to ride it--took a few weeks before it was normal for me. Then came the Rans Rifle- since this was similar to the Musashi, really no...

    You can leave a regular tire on with the stac zero. It uses a magnetic field around the rim so there is no contact--very slick

    Zwift - Crubike beginners guide and how to's (Q&A to get you going)

    I can understand why you did what you did--If I were taking the bike on/off the trainer with any regularity, then I would have gone with a wheel on trainer--I live in Alaska--my road bike is on the trainer from November Until May. Because the brake caliper mount is in the way, it would be a...

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    I would be interested in that-- I live in Anchorage Alaska--the fat bike movement has reshaped bike shops and cycling up here--used to be ride in the summer ski in the winter--now it is bike and ski in the winter, and the bike shops do a fairly robust winter business (bikes, tires...

    Trainer recommendations

    I am using a Tacx Neo with my S40, and Zwift--love it. First question is wheel off trainer or not? I have used both, and really like the wheel off--no tire wear. Why the Neo for me--no belts, calibration--just plug in, get on and ride. I like that it can simulate grades to 25%-(although can...

    S40 questions

    I am using the Tacx Neo--it is compatible with 135mm hubs, so no issue other than having to unbolt the brake caliper. Not sure what model your TT is, but you should be able to get a longer skewer.

    S40 Headrest

    Good to know, as I to just have the tubes, no padding--although I find I am plenty comfy without the headrest.

    Zwift - Crubike beginners guide and how to's (Q&A to get you going)

    I have been loving Zwift this winter. Normally I fat bike in the winter, but too much ice, not enough snow caused me to join. Using the Tacx Neo. Now I just wish you could choose a recumbent as your ride--maybe the folks at Cruzbike could set up a bike/kit option?

    Tall Riders--feedback wanted

    Thanks--I am 6'3" so input Thanks--I am 6'3" so input from romelman was most useful. I am in the thought experiment stage of buying a new recumbent for my summer riding season--live in Anchorage Alaska. We have a great paved trail system. I used to have a Musashi, but the 20 inch front wheel...

    Tall Riders--feedback wanted

    I am looking at purchasing a Silvio but wanted to hear from anyone in the 6 foot plus range on their experience with fit--yes, I am sure there is enough adjustment for size, but how do you fit, and what impact on handling (if any) do you feel there is set up for your size.
