Many here have hit the points Many here have hit the points that need to be made, but definitely this is a mod that as a company we cannot support. Looking at that second picture in post #63, you could have possibly used a single thinner spacer on top of the pivot clamp - and just...

Rick, I have about the same Rick, I have about the same experience. I also find that the bikes feel better and handle better with the bigger chainrings and wider range cassette (when needed) as opposed to mini granny rings.

Triples are way overkill on Triples are way overkill on the low end for Cruzbikes and not necessary - that has been my experience. You can only gear a two wheeler so low anyway. People sometimes want to gear these like they are trikes. Very confusing. :-) I can always spin a higher...

Hello all, There are new Hello all, There are new instructions nearing completion now. The new ones are not radically different that the old ones or than the S30 ones that are up (shared front ends) They should be up shortly. Robert

A big factor in the "turning A big factor in the "turning freely" are the bearings themselves - some spin way more freely than others. I have had people with old square taper cranks complain when we install a new BB because they "don't spin as freely as their old cranks" but the old ones only...

Larry forgot the last step of Larry forgot the last step of the process: 12) Purchase significant other a new crock pot once she/he discovers it full of chain and wax. Hahaha!

Oh wow you will very likely Oh wow you will very likely be blazing fast on a Vendetta V20 for sure. It is simply awesome. Robert

I have not built a V or S I have not built a V or S where the BB needed to be faced - the anodized surfaces are very flat and the process does not add any gunk to the surfaces. If they end up painted however, then yes it is a good idea to face them to ensure nice even surfaces. Here in Portland...

Sandy, All great advice here. Sandy, All great advice here. - The results are well worth the patience as anyone here will attest. Also pay attention to the setup - I dialed your bike is according to your measurements but over time you may find that tweaking the pedal reach/handlebar...

That bag looks very similar That bag looks very similar to the Viscaha bag: https://www.revelatedesigns.com/index.cfm/store.catalog/Seat-Bags/Viscacha ?Hoping for these other items to be around come late spring in time for the season. No promises though.

Just a heads up, We have Just a heads up, We have Ventisit comfort cushions in stock. I absolutely love mine. They can be a "like it or not" thing. For me I had to add the stock foam from the OEM cushion (not the dense one just the filter) and it is perfect. It looks awesome too...

I have side entry cages under I have side entry cages under my seat and feel it works well. The Fastback from Terracycle will also work but needs a few mods to how it mounts at the top. Other options are in the hopper but I can't give away too much but stay tuned. ;-) For a back bag...

Ah yes that was the last Ah yes that was the last weekend before I had it repainted. :-) For those interested the paint code for the V20 is YS-751. It is a Metallic. There is of course never a guarantee of a 100% match.

I will agree - once you have I will agree - once you have some good training miles under the belt a Cruzbike is about as stable a platform I have ever been on - other than just standing on a platform. HA! This last Cycle Oregon there was one section of climb - about 5-6% grade and it was...

Kiwiguy - That is an early Kiwiguy - That is an early version 1 Vendetta that I had repainted. It is actually a different red than the V20. I only had the boom and frame redone - it is the old slider and fork. Robert

paint While I agree that the painted boom on the last version is awesome, the new slider and boom is not suited to paint as easily. The last V painted boom was fixed - nothing slid against it. The new boom goes inside the slider and if it were paint would scratch easily. The slider is designed...

I have tried to keep up with I have tried to keep up with Maria on a ride before, but alas I did not have my old Kawasaki Ninja 750r - so it was rather hopeless. ;-) Robert
