I used a fork stem extender on my V20 for this exact problem. It has worked very well. I didn't need the full length of the extender, so it was cut off. Much easier experimenting with a $12 extender!

I just swapped the stock medium chainstay for a short on my S40 and the improvement in fit is dramatic. Last time I checked I was at about the 40'th percentile height for U.S. adult humans, but apparently the S40's one-size-fits-some frame was targeting a much taller subgroup of the population...

...for a given leg length and as @velocio mentioned also lowers the bars but these are side effects once you've decided to change the chainstay length. So why change them? Obviously there's a design center that Cruzbike was targeting in terms of rider height, leg length, etc., and I'm sure the...

I didn't see this mentioned previously in this thread, but if it was and I missed it my apologies... Another thing to note about using a longer chainstay is that the BB will need to rotate upwards to accommodate the same leg length. Due to the well known teeter-tooter effect (well known to 2'nd...

I added two S/S washers to my preowned S30, with Velcro as the major joining method! I will add two rubber washers, as the nylon washers I have are too thick! THANKS for the info!!!!

Hey Cruzfolk, I have an S40 that I bought "used", which is to say the first owner assembled it and rolled it around a parking lot enough to know it wasn't for him. It was claimed to be a "custom build", which I now realize means the first owner assembled it himself from parts he collected. I...

Are there objective standards for choosing different lengths? For example, certain inseam should equate to certain chainstay length, or is it more subjective, for example comfort and riding style?

Does anyone know what the 19.5" and 21" measurements refer to? Is it the distance from center of BB shell to center of dropout? BTW, that same measurement on my S40 is about 7". I don't see different length chainstays, or any chainstays, listed for sale on the Cruzbike website. Are they also...

Extensions were available in 100mm and 150mm lengths. I happen to have a custom 60mm and a 100mm in my parts box. Used the 100mm on my S1.o and the 60mm on my dual-suspension S30. I may also have a 30mm in the parts box too. I know, its a long story..... DocS send me a PM with contact # and...

First one is a v1. Aluminium pan seat. Original vendetta. Red one is first v20 and a better handling finish and design more adjustable machine. You size the chainstay to fit your leg length . All hydroformed mainframes are same size. Great bike. Good for sealed audax.

I have bought the new chainstay extender and installed it. I haven't adjusted the shift cable yet as I'm still waiting for my leg to heal. It's been a long 6 months without riding. I have managed to move to a spin class at my local "Y" so maybe in another month I'll be cleared for riding. I'm...

What did you use to carry your typical audax/brevet gear? Thanks!

...as fast lol. Gradient climbing in the wet at the extremes can also require refined smooth pedaling to not lose grip. Your choice of chainstay length will be critical in relationship to your personal physiology. Be guided by Robert Holler on bike fit. In every other area from real customer...

...extensions of 50, 100, and 150 mm,near the BB, were available and VERY helpful for adjusting the BB height! The Quest V1.0 had two chainstay lengths available for 507 and 559 wheelsets! What % of Quests were 507??? The early vendettas had 3 chainstay lengths available, then 2. How many...

There is only one frame size so "large" must refer to the length of the chain stay. From my reading: Longer chain stays affects the height of the bottom bracket (more horizontal is typically more aerodynamic, lower bottom bracket may be easier to learn on) Maybe @Robert Holler can weigh in...

...may serve as a practical working solution for you in the mean time. As far as the Belt Drive is concerned (for any S40 readers) the chainstay length is crucial as the EBB only gives about 3mm in either direction and there are no other adjustment solutions ....Do Not rely on the specs, Check...

Hi all, I know this is a bit of a long shot but here goes. Im looking for parts from a V20, S30 or S40: 1. Boom 2. Slider - either straight or curved 3. Chainstay - any length, new or old style 4. Handlebars 5. Headrest tubes & cushion Please shoot me a PM if you have any of these. thanks in...

Given my own experiments with varying seat recline/BB height this is totally understandable, though depends on your height/chainstay length in case of Cruzbike. *Generaly* lower BB and less recline puts your hearts higher relative to legs on P38, hence when climbing steep stuff you don't get as...

Anybody know the going rate for a new chainstay extension for a S40 or Vendetta? This is just as a sanity check for a fabricator that I am talking to. I am getting them to consider making an adjustable welding jig to make T50 chainstays from 2-8 inches longer than stock in 1 inch increments...

So it is the large chainstay?
