    Shakedown Ride, new S40 build

    Very intertaining writeup and a good sense of humor! I really enjoyed reading it!

    S40- Wow!

    Function always comes first, how it looks is secondary! That said, however, I must say it looks fine to me.:)

    An S40 in China video number 2

    Nice video! They editing is good and getting better and better. Now try a 3rd person POV camera mount position slightly behind your shoulder for more cool shots!

    Mark B's S 40 Build

    I think your S40 is a good/better choice than the V for you. You just need time to adapt and fine tune your new position and I think it will be very fast and practical!

    Mark B's S 40 Build

    Wow! Nice! However I wish the S40 seat was as low as 520mm or atmost 550mm. But I guess they were considering clearance for the underseat panniers.

    The Optimum Hip Angle for Maximum power?

    Interesting! I wonder how high is too high for the BB relative to the seat? :emoji_thinking: . Naturally then, adapation does take place after some time/miles on the said postion, I believe? Does enlisting more/different muscle groups trigger the heart to pump more/faster? As is the case with...

    The Optimum Hip Angle for Maximum power?

    Let me get this one correctly, so for the SAME measured power output and SAME HIP angle, the percieved effort goes up with a greater recline and higher BB? Does it mean the heart is working harder? It would be nice to plot this on a graph: recline angle versues power and Heart rate

    Cruztrike???

    Cruzbike tilting kit disassembly This is a third party kit and looks really nice. Will cruzbike work with this guy and realise a tilting trike addon kit?

    An S40 in China. Loving the bike :)

    On the other hand , probably the number of international customer orders are not high enough to justify warehouse costs for a small stock held in Taiwan? :emoji_thinking: Ah, well, I guess, in the end, it's just about what makes business sense, economies of scale e.tc.

    An S40 in China. Loving the bike :)

    Cruzbike should ship (espcially the framsets) directly from Taiwan for their international customers who are not in the North or South American continents. I think there was a time they used to do that.

    The Optimum Hip Angle for Maximum power?

    It would be interesting to know which recumbent position requires the least level of adaption to generate similar(not exact) levels of power at the pedals if one switches from a standard racing upright road bicycle. I know it may be subjective but there seems to me to be a certain optimum...

    Livestrong Challenge century ride

    Nice action pictures! Strangly enough, there are not many pictures of S40/S30 with a rider in action. And you could have been even faster with less buggier shorts and that water bottle on the rear seat stays mounted behind the seat, away from the wind instead!

    The Optimum Hip Angle for Maximum power?

    If you were to ride an 80 to 100 mile route with mixed terrain, some steep short 10%+ climbs and long moderate 4-5-6% climbs and some flat sections in equal messure, which do you think will have a better time with all else equal? Silvio-S30V2, S40, or V20?

    Congratulations! Nice build with bar end shifters too! Must be lightweight. The more you ride the stronger you will get!
