Will the Q45 come with three chainstay length options as the Vendetta does??? Will there be an exchange system for chain-stays, so the correct length can be found without buying a second or third chainstay?

Nice write up. My understanding is there are 3 different lengths of chainstay. 19, 21.5, and 23". I switched from the short to medium on my S40 and thought it a better fit. Which length did you switch out specifically on your V20? Good to recognize the difference in seat height of the two...

S40, or any other CB on a turbo trainer. How do you get around the longer skewer issue? The skewers for my TT have a particular shaped end but are standard length, so won't manage the front of the S40 with the fork and chainstay arrangement.

I have the Thor seat with ADEM headrest set up per the instructions Ratz wrote up, but I am not sure what angle of recline that gives. It basically follows the curve of the frame, but because the shoulder area curves up it pushes the upper body and head higher into the wind. Cruzbike posted a...

You can get different length chainstays, longer means BB lifts higher, shorter means BB drops lower for any given leg length. For reference I have XSeam 46” with standard chainstay, the BB is about 3 inches above the lowest part of the seat on my V20. I calculated that the next size chainstay...

Larry, this was a VERY good reply with lots of info, especially about the boom when horizontal ! Another question for you! Is there an optimum BB height above the seat base lowest position? The S40 front fork can handle a 700c * 38, so with a 80 kg rider, the recommended tyre pressure is 50...

...it might be cheaper to opt for a smaller "little ring". #4 Crank length. Base on you question it appears you are asking about the chainstay length - I will address both. Chainstay: There is a large chainstay that is 2" longer than the standard. I think with you height, you are probably on...

In short it was to allow the front derailleur to adjust independently of the boom length changes. And now the the long version: The first version of the Silvio version 1.0 or the predecessor of the S40 and the vendetta had the boom straight and front derailleur attached directly to the boom...

The brass bushings have been transferred, but they are not simple. My machine is a very early v1, perhaps even a prototype, so others may encounter different versions when they try the same. I went to a local electric bike shop, as I knew they were used to doing odd conversions. Each bushing...

Below is from a Cruzbike pdf for the silvio v1 that is too large to upload here. http://web.archive.org/web/20111005083230/http://cruzbike.com:80/SilvioAssemblyNotes.pdf " When you set up your bike, you should use the highest FD attachment point that will allow your FD to clear the chain in the...

...Trickstuff, the only one for a standard 68mm BSA BB which limits you to Shimano Hollowtech ii. ....don't mean to be picky about the chainstay length and with a chain/derailleur, who cares about a couple of mm. However the Exzentriker only gives you 6mm (+/- 3mm) of movement, so you like to...

I'll need to check that later and get back to you - but it's the standard chainstay that came with the frameset. Is there a particular measurement you want? I have xseam 45" so I was concerned the BB would be too low, but it seems OK. I think there may be a longer chainstay in my mid term future...

...be sure to follow instructions and use 2-cross rather than 3-cross spoking, as the hub is fairly large. On the QX100 and T50, the chainstay length changes with boom adjustment, so a tensioner or eccentric bottom bracket is needed. Standard single-speed sprockets work, and it looks like one...

I think he is quite a tall guy and probably didn't want to extend the chainstay length from the donor bike.

I added 6 or 7, can’t remember which it was. Was surprised as I thought it was just a standard chain. I’m running a 36/52 Q ring with the standard boom and can shift through all the gears without issue

It really depends on the length of your chainstay and your big ring top and bottom. I run 19" chainstay which is standard, and a 53x28 and I think I need 5 extra inches which is 10-links. I am actually just running a standard chain while my others are drying. I just cannot go big-big or it will...

As mentioned above by castlerobber (Betsy I'm only 5' 5.75"....I seem to be shrinking lol) but with a 41.5" ex-seam, and the standard chainstay V20 fits me just fine. In fact, at your height, you'll fit the bike better than I do because your shorter ex-seam will make it easier to get adequate...

Ak-Tux, The wheels are 32 spoke with Compass Chinook Pass 700C X 28 tires. I weigh about 150 pounds and find that 32 spoke holds up well for me. These wheels have about 7,000 miles on them on various bikes. The tires are very comfortable on most road surfaces. I'll probably try 32mm when...

Looking good! Is the chainstay length standard or the longer one? The BB height looks nice and high! Are those 36 spoke wheels with 28mm or 32mm tires? How did it climb?

I've been trying to get the new chainstay for some time. Not sure if they're available as an accessory yet. I needed to move to a standard length chainstay on my V20 but never got a response from Cruzbike. Currently riding a "loaner" std. length chainstay of the old style. They're very busy with...
