    Psycho 48 in NC, 21-23 Oct 2023

    This says it all: 3 Goliath's against 1 David! This was somewhere near the end of the 2nd lap - probably around mile 60 or so. At mile 65 I passed them and road solo for next 9+ hours.

    Psycho 48 in NC, 21-23 Oct 2023

    Cruzbike has another WUCA North American Championship title, as I won the overall 12-hour race yesterday at the 2023 Pyscho event. Covering 258.6 miles in the heavist winds I have ever ridden in. My closest competator was Georgi S on an upright bike. We were together in a small group until I...

    Must be something in the water

    Hi Bob, Where are you located? I am in Hilton Head Island and have virtually every Cruzbike model ever made. Also have the newest models including the V20C for you to try. I really doubt aying on the V20C would hit the same nerve your upright bike did. If the Q45 doesn't the V20C probalby will...

    Flat

    Hope you are OK Matthew - I've had falls like that in the past - always a flat tire in the front - or - slipping on sand or gravel around corners at hight speed.

    Need Help Lowering CdA

    haha - yes, this was no doubt the last few days of the BRAG 2022. I mounted my T50E wheel to the back of my V20. This was to "assure" I rode the last few days easy, as the very next day after BRAG I was to attempt a 100 Mile record in Savannah. You can see the battery pack strapped to the botom...

    Psycho 48 in NC, 21-23 Oct 2023

    I'll be there for the 12-hour if I can get my Van repaired - requires a complete tear down - barely made it back from Cycle-Con. I've barely been riding this year so I'lll be lucky to ride the 12 hours without falling over this year. Last year I beat the fastest 12-hour rider by over 10 miles -...

    Cruzbike T50 for sale. $1500. Almost new just rode on my concrete driveway ,just to old to get confortable

    This is a T50. Looks like it is the newest model based on what "Garstan1" comes back with on purchase date. A new T50 retails for $2650, so this is a great deal - and a great cruiser bike!

    Buying a used V20 Vendetta.

    This Cruzbike is from around 2018-2019 timeframe I believe. That is about when th Grey series were. Looking at the picture this definetely looks like a long chainstay. Contrary to popular opinion the higher the BB does not make you more aero. Each person needs to test for themselves. In the...

    Cycle-Con 2023 September 15th thru 17th discussion

    Thanks Andrew - yes, I will have a T50 there for teaching. I'll also be happy to help you with any fit questions on your V20. I have a nice system setup in my Museum using my webcam and laptop with the bike on a trainer that lets you see and video yourself on the bike as your are riding. I...

    Cycle-Con 2023 September 15th thru 17th discussion

    Front Wheel Slippage - How Serious is It?

    I also agree with all that has been said. To really sum it up for me - I experience wheel slip when I start pedaling unevenly and with higher power (usually due to being in the wrong gear for the grade) and once you start down that road it it hard to come out out it. Good luck with your choice...

    No hands

    Jim Parker is the best I have seen. He can lace the fingers of his hand behind his head and ride down the road straight and smooth. I believe one of the keys is to maintain a constant even presure on the pedals all the around if you can. I have never been good at it at all.

    Desperate Help for Fit Issues

    To get a measurement - sit in the seat as you would to ride - then push the pedal to it maximum reach, and then put your heal on the pedal - as this would also be the max pedal extension when you are clipped in at the mid-foot position. Then shorten it about 1/2" so you leg would not be fully...

    The Cruzeum -- is Opem

    Had to move them all into my air-conditioned shop so they would not draw damp. Then 3 baths and cleaning each in Denatured Alcohol, dry, then dip in wax and hang to dry. 47 chains all pretty and ready to go!
