Nah, just use a front handlebar bag with the loop hooked on the top of the seat back. ... Well that would have been a good idea with the old MEC handlebar bag. Unfortunately, they no longer have a loop on top to hold a map bag on top of the handlebar bag so you would have to actually make an...

Awesome. Glad to hear problem solved. Way to go team.

Neither do I. Is abs short for abnormal body sculpture/shape?

When critical mass is reached the organizers who said "no" to recumbents are going to kick themselves as they miss out on a generation worth of customers / participants. #$#$#$ Alert, alert! We interrupt your regular programming to bring you this special learning opportunity: We are the...

I'll chime in to confirm you're right! The chain stay extensions are for the earlier carbon chain stays that could disassemble and re-bolt with an extension. However, I believe there are different size chain stays to address this challenge - whether you have the smallest available or if they...

What happened to Joseph Weissert and his Vat Vike V20 in west Michigan? I may have his/your name and/or alias a little off cuz I can't find the @... to tag him.

That has been my experience too- learning and understanding proceed geometrically when one is teaching and explaining.

Hi @John Crawford, Are you actually getting a speed wobble or does it a feeling of less stable, less controllable, or is it that inputs are twitchy? My read of the Cane Creek website is that it is trying to absorb oscillations so that you don't get a harmonic oscillation that multiplies and...

1) Love it. Can you post more on how you made these minimalist racks? 2) How did you confirm flexing? Do you have a measurement of how much force/power you are putting down when you say "heavy pedaling forces"? 3) Is that an air shock? Can you increase the pressure in the shock when you are...

@Maria Parker, Is there a date and location set for next year? I missed out this year but am putting in my vacation request for next year and am picking 1st weekend in October in hopes that I can get to the Cruzbike perfect vision retreat. If your vision is blurred from the Cruzbike 2019...

Usually you get another shed to fill because (n+1 disease)^(n+1) = hoarder or to put it another way hoarder just means someone who has a very bad case of n+1 disease. It might even be focussed on something other than bicycles!

Also, there are a few different Thor seat models and they are designed with specific seat angle ratios in mind. (If you have a seat designed for 30 degree seat back angle and you tip it up to 50 or 60 degrees you quite likely will find yourself slipping off the front of the seat so those seats...

Good luck Bob. I guess you can keep that avatar until the sale goes through!! You might want to add a price.

That is, while sitting up at a stop or better yet while standing: push yourself forward for one or two good strides and then coast while you slide down into the seat with your legs out, then once you are on the seat and ready, then put your feet on the pedals and away you go. You can sit down...

I don't have a speedometer but I think 3-4mph is a fast walk or a bit more = approaching the limit on most Cruzbike models.

@3bs: Help, I'm going to need some of that brown water to wash down all of @Mathew Fy's acronyms. Footnote: For those who don't know: acronyms are attempts at simplification for those in the know that result in confusion to everyone else (in the world). My favourite is TLA. TLAs are Three...

@Bill Wightman Can you post some pictures of your setup and how it works.

@bladderhead It still amazes me: your double explosive flat! With the two bald tires and the explosive nature of the flat it doesn't seem like sealant would have overcome your oversight in that case. Prevention vs. reaction. Prevention is boring but reaction can be too exciting! :eek:

@bladderhead Excuse my ignorance but doesn't a friction shifter mean there are no specific settings? And doesn't that therefore mean you would not need a Shiftmate to adjust the pulling ratio of the shifter to the pulling ratio of the derailleur? Or is it to shorten the throw on the indexing...
