Joe, If you have everything a bit loose and install the through axle first, and then make sure the stay and all associated clamps are tight after - the stay should be very well aligned with the fork.

Aligning the slider/handlebars so your upper arms are aligned with your torso and rotating the bars for neutral wrists will improve the handling and turning ability a lot. Straight arms and "aero" are not really relevant unless you are racing and going well over 16mph all the time. Better to...

The stock bars are indeed a wider clone of these.

Yes you just have to be careful popping out the cup and I HIGHLY recommend using a headset press to do any headset installs. Sometimes a decent shop can loan/rent you a headset press.

I would say the S40 can hold its own against many regular riders on a ti-bike given the same fitness, etc. Not V20c fast but up there. It would be unfair to compare a very very good upright rider to an S40 - mostly as those pros and semi-pro try riders basically live on their road bikes and are...

1. Yes. 2. Complications and cost for design and manufacturing. 3. You never know we are always up to something.....

Cool pictures and concepts - but all I see from a product management/manufacturing/maintenance view is pure complication and unnecessary elements and high weight - the exact opposite of what makes for a good bicycle (recumbent or otherwise.) Also - most of those front fork suspension ideas I...

Unless you are averaging 20-plus mph all the time I imagine it is negligible.

I always recommend MTB shoes/cleats if you are going to go clipless. Actual road shoes are no bueno as you cant actually walk on them.

Welcome!!!

More details coming soon. It is a bit less "DIY" than I would like so far but working on it.

Maybe 2026.

Kind of depends on the rider. I think that measurement was done with Jim on the bike if I remember - he is tall, so more upper body closer to the rear, but also light in the legs compared to some of us hammock style guys... so YMMV I think.

The front wheel is doing a lot of heavy lifting on a Cruzbike - more than an upright or other RWD recumbent - laying down power, turning while doing so, and taking more weight. so a bit earlier wear would be expected. Like a FWD car tires.

The only changes between those production runs was components and colors. We were able to go back to SRAM (after having SRAM OEM on backorder for nearly three years) on the last run and of ourselves three different color choices. The main frame on from remain unchanged between those.

1. More relaxing and less focus on the "push/pull/steer" thing. Just relax and gentile leverage forward with both hands - no white knuckle grip or pulling needed. Smooth on the pedals. Being in the right gear helps. Low gear for starting from a dead stop if you aren't "Flintstone roll" starting...

Possibly. Part of the challenge here (for Gates brand at least) is that to use the Gates drive - the frame has to be "approved" by Gates - so that's something we have to consider. Also other things would need to change with the front end - specific areas would have to be re-designed and...

The main thing IMHO is: try to not focus so much on thinking of the process of riding - just relax and gentle pressure forward on the bars and you will be surprised how quickly the learning will mesh in your head. Before long you will be practicing some no-hands riding. Not a practical skill...

Is the speed stat embedded from the camera itself?

Very nice. I have been interested in this exact camera and seeing these vids now I am really really really thinking about getting one.
