Thanks! Incase anyone is interested in a rim brake option for a 2019-S40 front fork, that is a Tektro R539 caliper brake. I think they are Long Drop Brake Calipers 57mm (The rim brake pads can be adjusted between 47 and 59mm , I think. I will need to confirm.) They work well. My original...

Welcome to the tribe! Here is my take on S40 Recumbutt and other fit issues : https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/optimizing-fit-eliminate-recumbutt-hot-foot.14642/

Yeah, me too. Works well over what we call locally here " rumble strips" , which are some annoying multiple strips of small speed bumps.

Probably this technique has been discussed elsewhere but I thought it would be nice especially for "newish" cruzbike riders to know. I first discovered this technique several years ago while riding my home-made cruzbike clone purely by chance. However later on as I browsed through...

As for a cheap power meter, I got a really cheap one that I wrote about here: https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/affordable-power-meters.14514/post-175070

Tip: Seat up when going over bumps or push your shoulders against the seat and lift off your bottom slightly to reduce the jolt from the bump. Asumming that it's only a short section.

Thanks @Robert Holler ! It seems our tropical sun moved to the northern hemisphere :D:).

Thanks Jim!

Another weekend ride recorded by one of our cycling group members.

Iam sorry I don't have sufficent skills to give a better drawing . I have edited the little drawing on my previous message. The most amount of padding is at the nose of the seat (with the adjustable plate fully extended out) making it look like the Thor Easy seat. It stops me from sliding forward.

Hi @benphyr , Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately I used a mix of black and white pieces of form padding making it difficult to get a good contrast in the picture. What you are looking at is the top of my seat pan with the cushion rolled back . In brief the idea is to make the gluteus...

Nice ! The seat almost looks like two in one!

Thanks @Don1. Unfortunately my home-made roller experiment did not work as intended. The rolling resistance was so bad , I could hardly make a few pedal strokes ! o_O. I abandoned the project. (I think it needs higher precision, bigger diameter rolllers with smoother bearings). My "hot foot"...

I think this should be a useful thread all together about how to fix recumbutt on S40 and other fit issues). Lets discuss. I've never ridden a V20 but Iam blessed to have a S40 gifted to me by some great friends here. I love my S40 and I ride it alot despite my initial fit and hotfoot...

Well, this is a nice disccussion. @cruzKurt , glad you finally got a V20! I've never ridden a V20 but Iam blessed to have a S40 gifted to me by some great friends here. I love my S40 and I ride it alot despite my initial fit and hotfoot issues. I can personally confirm that the S40 with the...

Considering the bottom tabs for attaching the seat are still the same, can the old sliding bottom plate be bolted on top new seat to extend it at the base?, .. Just thinking ..

:D:D:D , only way to expose any fit isssues and unreliable equipment is a long ride! A little sight of the African Savanah (before the rain). That's a termite hill the bike is leaning on. Some can grow pretty big!

Went out for a long ride yesterday and got caught in a downpour. The power meter still worked flawlessly even in the wet conditions.
