    To ride or not to ride, due to COVID- 19

    I’m riding outside. Mostly neighborhood or country roads. The trails are crowded and do not allow for proper distance. My allergies are bad right now being outside does not make them worse. The Fl sunshine improves my mental mood tremendously. I mainly ride my Silvio but did take out my Q the...

    Too big or too small for Cruzbike? Check the Chart. Take the Poll.

    Me three. I am 5’7” with a 42 xseam. I bought a Sofrider without ever trying one. My fav is my Silvio 2.2. I did mod the Silvio with a narrower handlebar, shorter cranks, and curved slider. I own 4 Cruzbikes. I am in the green zone. My sister is much shorter (5’2” ish) and is borderline...

    S40 frameset build options...

    I can help with this a bit. I switched to a bachetta giro bar and got rid of the sram dual drive. The bachetta bar was recommended by Joy and Castlerobber on this forum. The front end is much lighter and I like the handling better. I also don’t hit my knee on the shifter any longer. My bar is an...

    Questions about upgrading S30 to disc brakes

    thanks for this info. I hadn’t thought about needing a longer chain. Haven’t had any issues with my feet getting wrenched. Hoping you will only get scrapes now.

    Questions about upgrading S30 to disc brakes

    Mine is about 15” measuring the same way. I am a bit under 5’7” with a 41 inch xseam. Of course, now I am wondering if I would like a longer chainstay? Hmmm

    Questions about upgrading S30 to disc brakes

    Thank you! I'm using the chainstay that came with it, whatever size that is. I'm 5'5", with a 40.5" x-seam, if that helps any. They changed it from my model to yours. Mine is flat with no Cruzbike words and seems to be carbon. Yours does seem to be longer.

    Questions about upgrading S30 to disc brakes

    The bike looks sweet. What size chainstay are you using? Your feet seem to be higher than mine. Did you change it out from the original? I don’t have the unsuspended front end so maybe that is the difference? What is your approximate cost for the conversion and do you have a BOM? Sorry for all...

    V20 Assembly

    I use 2 zefal spy mirrors on my Silvio about 3 years now. They work well for me. I like the low profile and think they look good on the bike,

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Thank you, I only had to re-do the cabling 5, 6 or maybe 7 times. I am a bit picky. I should have given myself a few trial runs with cheap cabling and then once I mastered what I was doing...used the more expensive cabling. The cabling that was on the bike was a bit short so I couldn’t just...

    Bad news received today

    Sorry to hear the news. Hoping your wait is not long and your surgery is successful. Bad news indeed but the surgeon can fix it so a bit of good news.

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    I installed a new fork on my Silvio since the old one would not hold air in the shock any longer. While I was at it...I taught myself how to cable. Replaced both brake cables/housing and the rear derailleur cables and housing. Running the cable housing through the Silvio frame was a bit of a...

    Before and after 19.5" vs 21" chain stay

    What size (19 or 21, other) is a standard chainstay? I am close to the same height as Maria. Thanks

    S1 instruction manual

    After conversations with the rider, she is going to keep the current bars but we are going to take out a couple of the stem spacers. The bar drop is ok. It is the height of the stem/slider. I do appreciate the offer.

    S1 instruction manual

    Super Slim, I did check with Robert and it is possible. Cost runs 325$ plus shipping. I have my original Silvio handlebars since I switched to a Salsa bar also. Robert said you could use the same bars but he must have misspoke. Only paid 800$ for the bike so another 325$ might not be smart. Do...
