If you plan on camping and carrying any amount of gear that equals more than a Scarab bag - an S40 is the only real option. The V20 is like a time trial bike - it is not designed or intended to haul panniers or any other amount of gear other than the usual stuff to support a race run. The S40...

Hey all - if you are awaiting your V20C and/or are adjusting it, I wanted to put out this note that I went over briefly in the assembly video but wanted to reiterate it here in a bit more detail. On some of the builds the levers were put too far down the curve of the bars. The result is a...

There is no hill I have really "slipped" on that I could also climb up on a RWD without the rear end washing out anyway - or that I couldn't actually climb because the particular bike I was on wasn't a good climber to begin with - so IMO the slippage on a hill is a moot argument for clean dry...

The countdown is on!

Great progress! I find the biggest issue when initially learning is getting too agressive and overthinking the grip on the bars. Relaxed and light (but controlled) is the key. Like has been mentioned once you realize that - the rest starts to come easy and you can use that upper body input to...

This is very highly unlikely to happen - FYI. And also no backwards compatibility here with any old frames of any model - the new front end is 100% it's own thing - along with the changes that had to be made to the main V20 frame (namely the tapered head tube with much larger lower bearing.)

Hey all - I wanted to address a certain elephant in the room that we have had some inquiries on - with regards to the last few batches of bikes - mainly around the component sets that we have been able to source. First - trust me when I say that I would be sourcing the gear we have always used...

Those old stays that went around the cups... sigh. You might have to change stays or use a different BB. The reality is that some cups are too thin to be clamped and you will have to be extremely ginger in tightening.

More info on this will be coming - but indeed shipping and supply chain issues have abounded for the last few years.

If you are riding on a road with any kind of crown the bike will want to go down the slope - is that what is going on?

The new V20c it will not work - based on the fact we have a specially made "top cap" on this frame that double functions as the main part of the pivot clamp. The good thing is that the new frame has moved to internal cups. This is a good thing (along with the taper, etc) as they can be replaced...

I want to post a kudos to all those who raced. I was there as crew and support - and every time I am there I am in awe at the accomplishments you all turn in. After the start - I gathered up a few things and headed out onto thew course to set up a possible stop around the 80 mile mark. By the...

Tony, robert@cruzbike.com T-Shirt (L) Jersey (XL) Thanks!

THIS Unless it's on purpose to slow everyone down.

Oh man...

Winning. This sounds ideal to me for a fun week.

Who all knows this area and can assess? Is this an epic ride where taking it in a good pace to drink up the scenery is par for the course? Or is it a a route wrought with pain?

This is always the best advice I can give. People try top break down the "forces" and what its going on too much. A light pressure forward on both bars to brace everything and pedal smoothly away. It is really that simple. Difficulty in the balance has more to do with seat angle than anything -...

The rack on the Q45 is not as high as on the S40 - sports usually the panniers that fit best are shallow ones or front bags. Ill have to get an exact measurement but I believe it is 16" from the top off the rack to the ground. The brakes are indeed made by a company "Rever" with Jagwire brand...
