The star nut needs to be pushed further down into the fork. I just got it in with a longer bolt (tapping on the head and keeping the nut as straight as possible) until the blade would clear, and then once the steerer was cut I used the setting tool to get it set the proper depth from the newly...

The OLD V2K frame kit in the past did not include the fork. The package as it is now on the website includes the fork, frame, seat, front end, handlebars, hardware - just add wheels and components. They will be ALL gone very soon though, and there will not be any more of them.

I can definitely say that this is not the case and if it was somewhere it wasn't posted by a Cruzbike employee for sure. The challenges of the BB are ones that we are working on. As always - stay tuned as always good things are coming from Cruzbike! :-) Robert

Nice collection. I would estimate that the Cruzbike there is the easiest to ride ands also one of the only ones regular people have access to. It should be noted that Troytec is out of the recumbent game. The others listed that are production bikes IMHO do not hold up.

Oh man - I want one of those in a V20 version. Seat as opposed to Saddle. An arrow at the very left side of the image pointing to the word "competition" because thats where they would be.

The Q is only available as a complete (75% assembled) bike as that is how they are packaged. The front dropouts can support the washers for those hubs. I used an 8 speed Nexus on mine for a season. If I remember correctly I had to source a few of the aftermarket versions of the washers as they...

My best advice: The V20 will take you faster than you have gone before - don't get in over your head. In my experience people learn to ride quickly and then start to exceed their limitations way too quickly going 25+ MPH without giving thought to the dynamics involved that are unlike being on...

Merry Christmas all! :-)

Here are a few images of the mirror mount. They are tucked in behind the brake levers and near invisible from the front (might depend on your bar position, etc for that) so they are pretty aero. I can still ride with my hands on the hoods and use the mirrors with them in this position. I have...

That wide range is a bit on the extreme side, but I rode it last year to test the shifting of the OneUp. IMHO anything less than 1:1 and you really just need to be riding more hills to build strength as the front end becomes unstable. The cyclestar mirrors I got from Calhoun Cycles. They are...

I am running the 25mm Panaracers. Nice and grippy. I have been thinking of trying the 26mm IRC Aspites as they get high marks. The cassette is a SRAM converted with the OneUp 40T & 16T conversion. Really the 40T is overkill but I simply swapped my drivetrain as it has all been wearing together...

Thanks all. I run 165 cranks. I used to run 170's but once I switched to 165's I preferred it a lot more on this platform. Rick - as far the wheels go, it is my experience that the lighter wheels feel "flimsy" on these bikes, especially up front. I am a bit of a clydesdale "diesel" style rider...

I wanted to post a picture of my new V20 build. I have finally retired my older V1 Vendetta (a very hard thing for me to do) in favor of the new version. This is a hand painted frame - and like many of you who have the latest frame can attest - the paint job and finish is superb. For my build...

Elliot, The S30 with a 150mm extension puts the BB very high and closes the hip angle quite a bit. It puts in a few higher inches than the V20 BB "on average" depending on x-seam, etc. Im my experience a higher BB on a S30 or a V20 does not always equal more speed or power, and there are a lot...

Jay, I just replied to your email. Sorry for the delay - V20 builds, V2K orders, general stuff, phone calls (worldwide), forum, email, are all part of my plate and I am trying to get everything out with as little delay as possible. You can drill your seat out to move the stays in as in the...

On my personal V20 I have cut the steer tube as well to only use one small 2mm spacer. Between that and the curved slider the bars can get rather low. Also, just a bit of an edit for you - but the slider is the part that carries the handlebars, and the boom the bottom bracket. At least thats...

Hey all, Accolades are always nice. Lets flood Bryan with votes for the QX100 as recumbent of the year! http://www.bentrideronline.com/?p=10496#more-10496

Take a look for the Origin 8 Seat clamp: http://www.amazon.com/Origin8-Pro-Fit-Seat-Clamp/dp/B00R6S5WAW That clamp is basically an off the shelf item on the older models. For the pivot clamp it is the 34.9.

On that older Silvio you should just be able to use a standard clamp. I have an Origin 8 one on my own personal early model Silvio.

The correct one os the Topeak Beam Rack - A type.
