    llavalle's A4X Build

    I can confirm with you that the Growtac does NOT fit. I was doing a rear fit attempt on the S40. Indeed our dropouts are not technically designed for rotors that massive - becasue why would they be - though on my A4x there is a few mm clearance for the Bimotal rotor. It's not ideal but would...

    Cruzbike T50 for Sale UK (Yorkshire)

    If there is a lot of rust I would replace the bolts - less for breakage but more that they will sieze up in the clamp.

    llavalle's A4X Build

    Cat is out of the bag with your post - the Bimotal is the system I have been messing with. If you can figure out a mechanical caliper that works let me know. The company has offered to help design a specific mount for us that will work with all our current modes other than the V. The challenge...

    A4x Frame Bag

    They are the stiffener strips to add shape to the bag - they go on the inside. I have an install video on the YouTube but maybe it isn't live on there yet.

    llavalle's A4X Build

    Thanks for posting your build and also the patience as we work through the packing issues on some small items like the washers for the skewers, etc. For a new model there are always a few small hitches the first go around. The bottle cage bolts look to be a manufacturing defect - I just did an...

    A4X speculation

    Other than the long wheelbase days of old - ideal bottle positioning has always been something of a trade off with recumbent bikes. Nearly all recumbents go for a behind the seat solution. Another possibility you CAN do is on the top of the boom as you mentioned, and also the Q has enough room...

    A4X speculation

    Mounting to the back of the seat with the spacer works great. Personally I drill lower holes for an easier reach.

    A4X speculation

    It does not appear to me that there is room in the dropout notch for a 15mm hub cap. Also pics of the brake mounts - flat mount with both front and rear using the same adapter (this is the same as on the Q and the S. Robert

    A4X speculation

    BB - 68MM English Thread Brakes - calipers are DOA - there are "mounts" but the lust for wide/larger tires moves them too far away for calipers to be used (on ANY bikes) - the disc mounts are flat mount style. Wheels - 142x12mm drive and 100x12mm rear. There is a notch there but I would have...

    A4X speculation

    The order page goes live on the 17th. If you are on the email list you can get in on a few bonus "coupons" (not sure for the frame set though) so it is worth to sign up for that email ASAP.

    A4X speculation

    For the Q45. It is a GREAT bike. I have one personally (with 406 wheels and 2" Big Apples it is my neighborhood cruiser) and I rode the Q45 on RAGBRAI last year. It was very comfy. That said, it is a legacy OG bike as far as the main frame and the design is pushing the limits of time. The frame...

    A4X speculation

    Same dropouts as the Q and S as far as size. So all models are not through axle 12mmx100mm and 12mm x 142mm Frame set includes the headset installed.

    A4X speculation

    FWIW everyone - the A4x other than being my baby (in large part) to get it built and here - is SWEET. Sweet sweet sweet. My 100% biased opinion. The increase in the cost (tariffs, shipping, development cost, improved components, etc) are not as high as I thought when translated to the retail -...

    Convert Q45 to ebike

    I have to wait until at least after this coming Taipei Cycle show (end of this month) as there are a few elements to work out for what I am testing - so I would say "months" but not necessarily "lots of months" haha

    V20c chain line question

    For those with the V20c - particularly extra booms and frame sets - we have only had two known instances of this to date. As noted it is likely the manufacturer of the shells (a totally different company than the people who make the booms) likely just had a tap that was wearing out. On the...

    From Garage Innovation to Road Revolution: The Six-Generation Evolution of the Cruzbike S40

    This would be no for sure. That can very easily cause damage to the structural integrity of the fork, and you arent going to really gain much even if you could do it. For fatter tires it is better to opt for smaller wheels to accommodate. On a 700c wheel that fork will get to a 38c maybe a 40c...

    Steering Tube Came Up Out of the Fork about an Inch...

    I have zero clue why someone would not want a top cap, or in the case of a CF fork a plug.

    From Garage Innovation to Road Revolution: The Six-Generation Evolution of the Cruzbike S40

    Indeed LOL! But for sure it is the recumbent workhorse... at the moment. :-) This is a pic I like to reference people to on the "can it carry gear?" question.
