That is EXACTLY what happened to me, EVEN with a Shimano derailleur!! I had adjusted the boom length and forgotten to retighten the BB bracket clamps!!

Photos here: http://s1347.photobucket.com/user/zachlerner/library/ This is a Cruzbike Vendetta V20 in close to new condition, with less than 1,000 miles. It rides great and is extremely fast! It has nearly every accessory available: -Candy apple red frame, it may have never been assembled...

@Karl42 - 6 months ago I would have said - “give it time” or “frame up” or “try pull or push”. I’ve been on Cruzbike’s since 2008/9, ride comfortably with no hands and all that Jazz But, recently I’ve begun riding a v20 with a large chainstay and narrow drop bars and holy crap was this wobbly...

@Lief - thanks for that info. I believe you have the Vendetta 2.0 - do you know if the V20 chainstay length is the same? If so, it sounds like the long chainstay will not fit me, and the medium one will put my BB in a less aero position than I currently am on my Silvio. @ak-tux - that's very...

Hi Ivan, Your Silvio is a keeper, are rare gem. If it was mine, and I had to change anything, it would only be the front triangle and replace it with a rigid one like the one on an S40. The rest of the frame especially that rear Ti leaf spring suspension is beautiful light-weight technology that...

What is the V20 chainstay length in large size? Is this from center of front wheel to center of BB? I ask as I have been riding my Silvio 2 with the 100mm extension giving me about 545mm chainstay length and an almost horizontal boom as in the pic below. I am very happy with this setup for past...

I’ve got both an S40 and a V20. I agree that the S40 is a better fit for long, relaxed rides at an endurance pace. My observations on the S40 and V20’s characteristics below. Both are amazing bicycles. I’m so happy with them! Hope this information helps. --- Climbing: I can’t really...

Thomas, If you haven't had a chance to see the big thread about Q Rings on the forum here is the link: http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/q-ring-upgrade-ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.7784/ Lots of discussion and helpful photos. Considerations such as your height and x-seam, crank length, chainstay size and...

It sounds as if it would not work. Thank you for the offer. I will certainly ask when I pick up the bike. The parts have not gotten to the bike shop yet so I don't have the bike back.

Vicki C, If a new style chain stay fits a Silvio 2, I have a like-new (200 dry-road miles) standard length chainstay from my 2018 V20 that I would be willing to part with. It’s left over after swapping my V20 to the long chainstay. Bill

The maximum height of your knee relative to your shoulders is determined by the seat recline angle, the length of your torso, and the length of your femur. None of those variables are changed by raising your feet. Below is an animation of a study I did several years ago. It's purpose was to...

I just want to go back to the way I had it before I tried using the longer chainstay, since the longer chainstay puts my handlebars in a position that restricts my leg movements. Certain torso and leg length combinations just will not work with the longer chainstay and mine is one of them...

I am assuming that because it is Yellow, it is off of a V2.0, not a V20. Would you like to trade the all aluminum boom insert piece that has the handlebar clamps on one end and inserts into the curved bottom bracket boom? Depending on your height, some riders trim the ends of their’s in order...

Well it seems that re-assembly of my V20 is behind schedule, so I won't be able to pick it up until Saturday afternoon. Since the front end was still in pieces, I dropped off the new size Large chainstay. I was surprised that despite a ~ 5" difference in length, the Large chainstay was still...

Well, with the current design, anyway. A set screw or two for the hangar, plus a flanged mate design for the fork-chainstay interface would prevent this need.

A T50 has what you would recognize as a “normal “ dropout. As the boom length is adjusted, the chain stays rotate around a point that is not coincident with the axle. This causes two undesirable things to happen. (1)The length of chain needed changes because the distance from the axle to the...

I've instructed the shop to go ahead and install the Di2 system using the existing chainstay. They say it shouldn't be a problem switching to a longer chainstay if I decide to go that route, and this will allow me to do some coast down comparisons to see if a higher BB actually does result in...

I just had the guy at the shop measure the distance from the floor to the center of the BB, which turned out to be 26". With an inseam of 32", I'm not sure what the optimum height would be for me. How can I order just a chainstay?

...is nowhere horizontal either but definitely more than this picture. Get the BB at the right height is a dance between crank length, chainstay length, and your inseam - which will determine how much the boom and slider will pivot back toward you in the seat. I would suggest trying a 21.5"...

It appears to be a reuse of the S40s chainstay based on the height of the front derailleur hanger provided in the pic. Not an issue for a 1x11 configuration, but may limit a 2x?? or 3x?? configuration due to the height of the hanger relative to the large chainring.
