The constantly changing BB "standard" is a real hassle and telephd has the good advice there. Robert

We have Ventisit pads in stock FYI.

The Sweep OS bars work very well. The Salsa Woodchipper bars are what I am using personally - with 1.5" cut off each end.

A Ventisit with no shirt? Ow! :-)

Abbott, A triple is not going to work the way you want on your V20 no matter what you do. You have far better (and easier) options to get some low end. The setup with a double and a super wide converted cassette is the way to go. Sorry all, but triples and the performance Cruzbikes are not a...

I want.

You may need to dial that headrest just a bit. You will have to unbolt the seat at the base, and remove it. Then use a #3 allen to loosen a bit the two scissor jacks. Then you can move the headrest in or out just a bit. :-) Robert

Excellent! I am very pleased that the fit is close - building up for a customer is always a bit of guesswork if they will fit out of the box. Remember as you get used to it to do a bit of fine adjustments - xseam, handlebar position, etc can all be changed. Just remember to loosen the ring...

I ran a set of wheels I had build with HED Belgium rims and the DT Swiss 350's they were a sweet set of wheels. Sadly I sold them with another bike (mistake) and now am running some American Classics. If you run too short a chain the results if you accidentally shift wrong will be... not...

Cannot work. There is no way to tension the belt.

Most excellent!

OMG - Drew PM me if that sale falls through.

All good advice above. A triple is not needed on these bikes - and for road groups the industry is going to all doubles and wide cassettes for climbing gears. Youc an get the same gear ratios as a triple with less overlap and lower total component weight. This is better than a triple will ever...

You picked up the bike from the LBS but the front DR was over shifting the big ring? That is not inexperience with the double taps on your part - that is just a bad tune up job (or no tune up) on the part of the LBS. Seems they did not test ride or test shift and set the limit screws properly...

I cannot emphasize enough the importance if you are going to try the Q's that they be set up properly. Otherwise they will never work as designed.

This should be easily adjusted with the limit screws on the FD.

Having been on the same hills on nearly every mainstream recumbent at some point over the years - the MBB FWD simply out climbs them all. That is not to say that any given rider will outclime every other rider, but that for one given rider THEY will climb better on an MBB FWD than other...

Key is proper setup. Once they are dialed in it is great and I use them any any bike I have set up for longer rides and/or performance. It has been my experience that people who gave up on them right away just simply did not put in the miles to dial them in properly. Robert

Duncan, I know we have had a few chats on FB already - but definitely call or email me if you have specific questions on fit. A lot of good info above. I am not familiar with a lot of the standard bike boxes and fit - but I am sure the larger ones could accommodate the S30 though there would be...

I will concur with ratz. A narrow rim really sets the limit at 25c otherwise the clearances are just way too tight (or not there at all) Robert
