Almost every day for the last two weeks! And a 40s ish woman crossing the crosswalk, and a crossing guard driving by in a van talks to you at the light...

Paco must be talking about the 2 wheeled wheel barrows :D. I agree with Paco: purpose might be the same for the Bachetta, but the design and implementation done by Cruzbike is going to be how it should be, like driving a Honda compared to the cheapest domestic out there. Even after...

My blue QX100 has a very similar adjustment (though it doesn't say problem solvers on it): Clamp locks onto the top of the fork providing something for the piece below to push against. The below piece screws out to expand putting pressure on the bearings, and a tiny allen provides the locking...

The Silvio 1 is going to be different. The Q45 is at least 3 major generations of improvements upon the Q model away from the S1. I have not ridden either one though so how they would be different would be purely conjecture. The difference between my Conversion Kit in my avatar and the QX100...

Wow!!! Beautiful work dtseng. Can I have one? I'll call it CruzTike. How many, many hours did that take? It is gorgeous. Have you taken a test ride yet? It looks like there isn't even dust on it.

Also of consideration other that absolute mass is rotational mass. When accelerating, and braking for that matter, this becomes important. When you shift mass from the chainrings to the cassette you lighten up the front boom - that is good. You also decrease the rotational mass at the...

Without Mr. Helmet, the centre where all the attention can be focussed (or distracted), would no longer be able to focus and therefore Mr. Helmet would cease to be the closest thing to the centre of attention. :confused:

I've never been on a V20, but if you made it up a hill on the Catrike you should be able to do the same gearing with the V20 because it is significantly lighter allowing you to carry / maintain higher speeds. Not immediately, but once you become proficient it should not be a problem I wouldn't...

Do people not have the issue with ratios that they used to talk about all the time. When comparing a triple or double to a single you loose the extra ratios? How close of ratios is deemed acceptable?

Beware: my non-expert opinions can be found below in response @paco1961 : Even in the same muscle there can be different fibres that would be recruited for different tasks and the Standing DF appears to me to be explosive quick twitch or whatever they are called. Which may be way fresher...

I'm glad you cleaned the helmet with H2O2 :eek: and gave it an ice pack for its pain :p Glad you are ok. This might qualify in the You Know You are a Cruzbiker When" thread in the category of get back up and ride tomorrow category. And as Monty Python puts it, glad it was "only a flesh...

All looks good. You are on the right track, seems to me. Not sure how significant the geometry change would be, but increasing the length of the shock will change the head angle, rake, trail and therefore handling to some degree. The new Q45 apparently has a slacker angle than the previous...

@DavidCH , What is it? Ie. who makes it or is it a custom?

You Know You Are a Cruzbiker When: You take your kids to daycare and the youngest you don't quite trust walking along the sidewalk immediately adjacent to a busy road so you put her in the stroller, jump on your Cruzbike, grab the front of the stroller and tow her in the stroller down the road...

This thread is to capture those anecdotes and things you notice which differentiate our mentality (take that in any way you wish ;) ). What makes a member of the Cruzbike Tribe? If you are reading this chances are you are already a member - the deeper you get into being a Cruzbiker the more I...

I was advised to never use anything stronger than blue thread lock on bike type attachments. That seems to fit well with many components that come with blue on the attachment bolts. (I don't know the background though it makes sense - we're not dealing with extreme forces, extreme temperature...

I can't comment on the T50 compared to Sofrider as I have never ridden either to be able to compare the ride. However, the issue of gear noise is probably something that can be fixed if you want to stay with the current bike, it just means that you need someone qualified to replace cables and...

Yes, the more reclined position can help with recumbutt as it moves a little more weight on the back. Also, more time riding allows the body to adjust to a new activity and position so some of it is just that. Think about sitting on a regular bike for the first time. The seat is definitely...

Gusts.. We had quite the winds on Friday, took down many, many evergreens in the City. I biked home in it and wow it blew me around. I had to stop 3 times because I was gusted into the curb from 5 feet out. We were having sustained high winds with gusts recorded as high as 121km/h, that was...

Nice handle: VelociVixen. Seems to match the V20! Welcome.
