    Suspension Adjustable Headrest Position?

    A pic of your setup would be nice Devonian. I am using the performance adjustable headrest bars, but I made my own pad and attached it with some DIYing. It works for my rides, but they are smooth and virtually no potholes. Edit: I slipped foam handles over the vertical bars, and then wrapped...

    Very interesting differences between Vendetta 1.5 and V20

    No p-clamps. The scissor clamp bolts secured the seat at the back end with large washers.

    Large capacity aerodynamic tailboxes.

    ...of a dust cover. The real support for the headrest tubes comes from being held up by the clamps (scissor style vs. Perez style.) The Scissor clamps were a bit of a pain to use, but were very strong. The Cruzbike version of Jason's clamp work well, but have some potential to fail. Check that...

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    Sorry, If I still had a way to make them I'd knock out a 100 of them but I never thought cruzbike would just go all backorder with them. @Frito Bandito check out the links Matt posted, those are the threads I was referring to about fixing the clamps.

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    You would also have to move the stabilizing bar to the side like Jesse discussed here. For those who want to read about the original, click here. I wish I had you make some for me when the the time was right. (My V20 was on back-order.) For now, I'm still making the old scissor clamp work.

    S40 Question about Seat / Headrest / Turning

    I picked up the bike and yelled “hulk mad” and this came out. Of course one of the rubber pieces is missing the headless screw that secures the piece to the rod.

    S40 Question about Seat / Headrest / Turning

    ...it was, shake the bike upside down and let gravity be your friend. It helps to yell “Hulk mad!” For some history of the change from scissor clamp to Perez clamp, read here. I still use the older scissor clamp. Loosen both screws enough that you can push the middle down, just enough to allow...

    Clamp for headrest tube

    Do you mean the this? If so, someone here may have an older scissor-style clamp available. Otherwise contact Cruzbike directly, they may have one laying about. You could use the Performance Adjustable Headrest for changing attachments.

    Question on V20 seat attachment

    ...bike luggage clamps used for most saddle bags and such, you can probably find them local. If you're frame still has the old style scissor clamp for the headrest then I highly suggest you get the updated Perez clamps, they'll save you a lot of headache when make headrest adjustment during...

    Question on V20 seat attachment

    The headrest scissor clamp is there. I was talking about the two round clamps that hold the top of the seat down. I’ll draw something up an print them just for assurance. It’s all together and a quick test ride. I will wrap the bars tomorrow. I’m beat.

    Dialing in a S30

    ...pillow was made using a short length of swimming pool noodle wrapped in one inch foam and covered in black rip stop nylon. The cover was simple to sew. My cost was about $5. I note the scissor clamps hold the backrest well, but they require extra care to make sure they are in the clamping...

    New and Improved Headrest Clamp

    Just installed my new Perez clamp. Easy to do. I did not drill the seat pan. Much better than the old scissor clamp. Well done, Jason.

    New and Improved Headrest Clamp

    Nice! I wouldn't mind getting two of those too! ;) If Maria and Jim don't decide to do this, hopefully they'll consider at least shipping with some modded screws (I got frustrated with this for my bikes and got some longer bolts which I modified to make a 30 minute long process of getting the...

    S30 buildup with Volae Comfort Carbon L seat.

    ...because of blindly attempting to get the bolt in the scissor-clamp (Hey Cruzbike! Providing a longer screw really really helps here, even for the standard seat! :) ). Now, with the (longer) bolt mod for the scissor clamp, it takes about 1 minute to install the seat. Experimentation now...

    S30 buildup with Volae Comfort Carbon L seat.

    It depends-- the Comfort Carbon XL (which, being a tad taller than my dad, is what I use on mine) is long enough that you can use the standard CruzBike headrest, should you choose. The Comfort Carbon L rises a bit before second scissor-clamp hole. It is probably more true to say that the...

    S30 buildup with Volae Comfort Carbon L seat.

    ...on the bike and to allow for mounting lights and radar unobstructed on the rear. I'm sure you could do as you suggest, though-- the scissor clamps would work on the same diameter tubing just fine, I'd wager. As for making the plastic black-- you can also dye it as well, while it is molten...

    Headrest to seat clamp

    My question is NOT about the headrest to frame clamp, aka "scissor jack." I am building a Silvio S30 using the 2.2 manual. It shows two clamps that connect the headrest to the seat (see image). My frameset did not include these. Are they no longer needed?

    New and Improved Headrest Clamp

    ...Cycles Aero Bag installed on the headrest that must have been holding it too. Bizarre! My Silvio 2.0+ was a like new demo bike that I presume, they left the scissor clamp out of in order to quickly "size it" to riders. When I bought it, apparently they forgot to include it. This is my best...
