I came a cross this interrestting study https://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1093&context=pes_facpub It shows that a hip angle of 75 deg relative to the line parallel to the BB is the most optimum for power production. Having also read some tests and studies by...

Nice build with nice color contrast between the black and yellow; love it . However, in my opinion, your steerer setup is very long and high becuase the handlebar is facing backwards. It will not be a very efficient climber. There will be power losses due to flex . You want the minimum...

Looks like the handlebar is facing the wrong direction? No clearance for the leg.

:emoji_pray:Pictures please!

Very creative setup.

There are lots of Youtube videos: Just search "cruzbike" : https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=EgIQAQ%3D%3D&search_query=cruzbike There are also lots of videos on homemade cruzbike clones and similar designs. My favourite are "Rev" MBB models by Marco Ciccio ( Marco Ruga)...

Acceleration will be affected by the weight. It's not a criterium bike for sure. But the key thing is to dial in the fit to the point that you can almost generate the same power as you did on the DF. Focus on fit, i.e. optimum hip angle, leg extension, arm extension and shoulder suport e.t.c...

Another weekend group ride! Enjoy!

:emoji_joy: .. I love the detailed photo but the words do help too :D

Wow! beautiful bike! Looks like the seat is now at 28 degs or so. Not very far from a V20.

Welcome back @ratz ... now probably we will have some more goofy videos of your bike rides and detailed bike builds!

Do your slow speed drills/starts and stops with them until unclipping becomes completely natural. Otherwise, try toe clips without straps or with loose straps for sometime. We are all different but I practiced my slow speed drills, starts and stops nearly three times a week for more than a...

Congratulations! A little tip that you probably already know: I sit up when riding over rough patches. I keep my phone , zipped inside a frame bag, sometimes padded by a spare tube.

An alterantive to achieve a push/pull effect is to suspend the rear part of the cruzbike on a string as originally demonstrated by former Cruzbike original designer and Co-founder John Tolhurst: Which, by the way, would the best way to safely teach new riders the counter steer effect of a cruzbike!

Check this old video by Eric Winn:

Pictures speak ... just had to say it ;)

I think any standard 10,11 or 12 speed 700C roadbike wheel hub (spacing is 132.5mm hence accepting a range 130mm to 135mm) with a standard quick release should fit the front of the S40. It's just a roadbike with wheels reversed back to front;).

Beautful and smooth open road! Nice scenery, a bicycle touring dream!

Looks like the typhoon divastated the trees and partly blocked the roads! Sorry for the situation. On the positive side, it seems you have the roads, mostly, all to yourself! What a treat! P.S. .. love the one leg pedaling at 30:20 !

+1 Once the MBB is perfectly dialed in, the only difference, to me, really (with the exception of traction on extreme grades) is the weight in favour of the DF. My DIY MBB, out performs my DF on rolling terrains even if my DF is lighter by 6Kgs!
