    Handlebar Options v20c

    Indeed - the stock S40 and V20C bar is a wider version (2cm wider) of the Salsa Woodchipper 2. Any road bar with a 31.8 clamp area will work. There are a million bars through so it is impossible for us to even rationalize stocking any. The stock bar is very wide - probably too wide - for most...

    With their adapter (SRAM 8 bolt) like the link below nearly any stock rings can be used: https://www.crodercycling.com/products/spirit-spider-5-arm They also have doubles: https://www.crodercycling.com/products/gearmate-chainring-standard-5-arm They have a 46/30 even.

    Does anyone else have a design Wishlist for the next model of Q series?

    Noted. I am sure that I will include this in discussions about what is to come. Its always a balance - sometimes (not for the Q series - yet) we have done mixes of frames/completes only to be left with tons of frames at the end that have a hard time selling... some years its the opposite and the...

    CRASH on my new V20c

    YIKES! Avoiding dogs is a part of my ride routine but not the snarling type - usually just random ones on super long leashes that seek to jet across the road and clothesline me between them and their owner holding the leash. :(

    Help me decide - Q45 vs Bachetta Giro

    All true. And indeed I firmly believe that there is no 2 wheel recumbent out there that could out climb a rear (front) hub assisted Cruzbike. AWD will always win there. This little hill at the retreat was pretty slippery. Many tried. Only the T50e succeeded. I only had street tires (stock) on...

    The ring that the cranks come with is a smaller 38T ring - mostly aimed for the current set of Q45's and S40's where people want a bit lower gearing. The cranks are GXP 8-bolt standard though, so there are many options for other rings or doubles, etc. We will not be carrying those, but they are...

    Cruzbike Quest 2.0 559 Replacement Headset

    I assume that is has the "DiaTech" headset on it? If so - that is a wear item for sure and that headset is no longer made to my knowledge. Any standard headset (EC34) will work, but you will likely want to get as short of a stack as possible, as the steer tubes on the older bikes were...

    I would say that there is a bit of an adaptation period but for me it wasn't too bad. But I ride many different bikes that have cranks ranging from 145 to 155 to 165 to 172.5's and usually do not ride any one bike for extended lengths of time during the Sean... so I change up every ride or two...

    Silvio Pictorial History - Request pics and info from the tribe

    There only ever was 200 of those. I have one in my basement (the one Maria raced) and know where about half of them are in general... a classic.

    Silvio Pictorial History - Request pics and info from the tribe

    I would agree with Larry above - likely 2015/2016 but maybe manufactured in 2014... front suspension was never a good idea and isn't on anything bur gravel/offroad upright MTB bikes... the rear is ok - the elastomer can be replaced (we have those) but that rear rack makes me cringe and it should...

    What Is The Reason for the Aluminum Element in V20 Frame?

    On a recumbent having it be featherweight is a really a wild goose chase in my opinion. The "lightest"recumbents I have ever been on - either aluminum or CF - were so flimsy that they were absolutely horrible at anything related to "performance" in the slightest. Also they are the worst climbers...

    When can we expect the next batch of V20c, any new colors or other changes?

    No frame changes. A few changes to a few parts but that was just MFG changes on their end for things to go smoother so nothing of consequence. Better rims though.

    GCN and Cruzbike

    I agree with Maria on this take. The folks there run their own show - getting on there for something "real" is not an easy feat so this is a great start to hopefully more of a relationship with the folks there. I saw this video in the AM at home and I admit that when he first got on the bike and...

    Touch up paint

    Shoot an email to the support@cruzbike.com - there might be some but it is always a hit or miss and also they tend to not last very long before drying out or just going all "goo" even if we have them. I always recommend to find as close as possible a match in a good nail polish.

    GCN and Cruzbike

    Give him 6-8 months of training and a nice dialed in proper fit (which he did not have - I would rate it as an 70% at best fit) he would have been much much much faster for sure. Still - overall GREAT videos with a lot of super positive discussion.
