With a 46" x-seam - on pretty much any recumbent - a person will be on the outer edges of the fit. This is just a reality we have to deal with. A larger chainstay will definitely help this as it will put the pedals up and out further. On the boom/slider overlap - as long as there is a good 2-3"...

There is no real order to the SNs - the best bet is to examine the features/color.etc - each model has several "tells" as to its year etc... Post a pic if possible and I bet we can narrow it down. Robert

All these bikes - I don't care if it is a Cruzbike, Lightning, unicycle, whatever - people have to put the time in to practice and learn each bike. Learn what the bike is capable of and also what their own skills are capable of. If the skills are limited then they need to be practiced. If the...

The hanger is indeed a non-standard one - for the reason noted - it has to ideally be placed right at the point of rotation. It could likely be integrated into the swap in some way, but we have found this to be the simplest way to do it (so far) More parts and more complication is never...

OK all - here is another pro tip that I imagine I should re-edit into the video. Or maybe a new one. Bear with me: Your front end - if it is popping out all over the place all the time, must have some kind of static tension on it because something is misaligned. The fork - when aimed straight -...

Someone may have had different success with a wider rim/tire combo but generally those were 700x25c size max. Robert

Here is a link. :-)

Some are - like DT Swiss.

No through axles on the S40 - yet. That will be a big change as it requires significant changes to the front end and how all those items interface, new derraileur hanger design, etc etc. Also an entirely new rear dropout design will be needed. It also means all new chainstays and NO retrofitting...

I am in the process now putting together a front flat/tire change tutorial vid - and will go over the worst case scenarios such as the DR coming out of the chainstay, etc. The hub freewheel coming off is definitely a hassle, and this is what happens when things come to market and are sold as...

I'm in!

We do not have anything currently in the works (but there is always a possibility) of a set of brackets intended to lower the Q45 seat. fashioning a few brackets to do this would not be super hard and would lower it around 2" or so - not sure a 3" drop is possible, and altering the shock...

There are several chainstays available for the S40, V20, and Q45. 16.5, 17.5, 19.5, 21.5, 23.5 Not all are always available heads up - we actually have a 95% fit rate for most riders which is awesome with a single frame size. The bigger issue is the one size fits all seat that of course adds...

Thank you for that feedback! The tribe is always a part of the solution - either for the outright solution or the inspiration. Of course having a solution manufactured for you all can take us longer than we would usually like, but that's the nature of getting something from idea to finding a...

The entire bike industry in general has seemed to go TRP for factory bikes. Setup, dual piston design, and maybe some quality/supply issues drove that change as Avids used to reign supreme for disc brakes. Everything is dependent on a lot of other factors like hub flange height, etc as was...

ElyDave, Sorry for my delay - I think your email got lost in the mix. Your VM was a bit broken up and when I tried the number that was on the caller ID it said "number does not exist" I cannot remember if you had left a number on the VM - the connection dropped a few times (voicemail connection...

Wow!! Let it be known that the Cruzbike is VERY capable. There really isn't any excuse for anyone else now.

I would like to know what double kickstand that is in the video. Anyone know?

The Sofrider is a definite classic and one of my favorite Cruzbike models. The Q45 is like the sporty upgrade/evolution of that same concept.
