    Vendetta with fork from S40

    The S40 fork and the V20 fork are different lengths and will change the frame geometry - they aren't meant to be swappable.

    S40 questions

    Going back to the brake question... no canti or V brake mounts on the S40. There is a "brake"bridge that looks like you could use a caliper brake, but no standard one will work. You can use a long reach caliper, but those are not nearly as good as anything really - so disc brakes it is. When...

    New S 40 build

    This is about as far from reality as you can get regarding these models. The difference is in the riding. The T50 is a great bike for local riding and getting your feet wet in the MBB bikes. The S40 is a serious machine designed for touring and shares all the best elements of the V20.

    S40 questions

    To everyone - I do not recommend running different wheel and/or tire sizes - it will change the headtube angle, trail, and rake and could have an adverse effect on the handling of the bike. Every bike where there are different wheel sizes - they are designed that way from the beginning - not to...

    This one is for those who purchased the Axiom rack for their T50s

    Those of you who got the complete T50's - I tapped the rear holes for you are they were not tapped out from the factory. This was not something I could do to all the frame sets that went out. The solution for the untapped ones there is to use a smaller M5 and a nut on the other side. It is a...

    New To Cruzbike and your T50?

    Hey all. Sorry for the radio silence but it has been nonstop busy for me. THANK YOU to everyone here who has been posting tips and tricks for everyone - it is more helpful that you can even imagine to have the support. It is very easy for me to be swamped with calls and emails about technical...

    Anybody using a disc brake on the front wheel of new V20?

    There are no brake cable stops on any of the V20 frames. That is a pass through for 5mm brake cable housing. Both of the cable runs on a Cruzbike V20 for brakes are solid housing. Robert

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    That gearing will be pretty low. Doable but possibly you might be into trike gearing category - at a certain point keeping your balance can be an issue on two wheels. The 28/34 combo is about 5mph at 80RPM cadence.

    T50 - Everyone likes a bike you can kick start

    A clamp on can be used - same as how we use on the QX100 and the old Quest. The cable roller for the DR can mount just underneath the boom as it does on those models as well. Robert

    Skewers?

    Those older skewers were longer than that and custom made due to the wider design of the front end. No 135 skewer will work. Send me an email in the support address - ill have to scavange for one - thats a rare piece of gold indeed. Robert

    QX100 Headset Adjustment

    There is also a 4mm allen bolt on the side of the clamp. You dont really need to loosen the riser, just the very small 1.5mm allen at the top, then the 4mm allen on the side (it might be painted white) and then the unit will expand as it is threaded on the inside. Then just retighten the two...

    QX100 Headset Adjustment

    The headset is adjusted at the top of the headtube - not at the star nut. The ky is that the adjuster needs to have the very small set screw loosened. It can be seen looking down at the top of the adjuster. Robert

    New Cruzbike Accessories

    The box is held on by a plate that holds it to the tubes. The new pad doesn't have to slip over the tubes. The old pads will need to be slightly modified but that should be too bad with a pair of scissors. The install is very simple. Ill likely do a video if an install here soon if I ever catch...

    Anyone planning on trying the M5 two-spoke wheels?

    Sorry but I am rolling my eyes at those wheels.

    Latex or no latex

    This is well stated and also something to remember on every ride. Get there incrementally and learn every aspect of your individual machine before you push the envelope. Every bike is a relationship and you have to grow into it and don't abuse it.
