    S40 Chainring - for lower gearing

    Hey all - I have been asked a few times about this so I thought I would post it here. The S40 uses the Apex 1x - which has asymmetrical 110 BCD chainring bolt pattern - so just getting a smaller chainring won't do the trick. Here though is a good source for one that will work - its also a...

    Cruztrike???

    Not really. In the end - this idea doesn't work, folks. It ends up being WAY too complicated. Manufacturing costs for complicated = high. Complicated always = problems. Add to this the reality that the back ends of our frames are simply not designed to handle the types of forces that an...

    Has anyone changed the cassette to increase gear range?

    Triples will not work with the front end unless it is a specific one that is heavily modified (not worth it) A double will get you a good range. A single 1x system with a wide cassette and a smaller (38 or 40) ring will get you lower than most people can be realistically balance - lower than...

    READ: Chainstay Clamps PSA and PRO Tip

    Hmmm I am not sure how this would be happening as long as the stay/fork/boom are aligned "neutral" before tightening in order skewer, then stay clamps and making sure the pivot clamp is aligned right.

    READ: Chainstay Clamps PSA and PRO Tip

    Ok all - I go over this in all of the assembly videos but it seems to me missed way too often: Please DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN your chain stay clamps. Every time I see a broken one it is the same pic - the surfaces are mated completely against one another - that is TOO tight and if you do this - they...

    Belt drive on a thru-axle Cruzbike

    I am of the opinion that a good clean chain drive will always be king and always be the preferred drivetrain. I have seen studies that belts are not more efficient until over a specific wattage - and it was of a wattage that a lot of riders are only at during their peak anyway - so there is no...

    New S40 Owner

    The "quality" of how the shipping companies handle items that go into their trucks just about makes me SICK. Particularly as they arrive from Taiwan in PRISTINE condition every time - loaded into the truck right side up with 100% care. Then, unleash the US delivery services and its all bets are...

    Q45 new handlebar review

    Great review! I would say thins is about 60% accurate - it was designed for a bit of a new rider in mind. Note though it was also designed width wise to accommodate the use of MTB style trigger shifters, which always sit inboard on the bars - creating a lot if interference. The bars are very...

    Upgrading S40 circa 2019. Need tech advice

    The wheels have hubs made by Chosen in Taiwan. They are some of the smoothest around and used by a lot of manufacturers.

    What piece is this?

    If you have a hardware store close that has decent hardware selection you should be able to source that bolt and washer quickly. We can send one but it wouldn't be able to get out till Monday.

    New S40

    Slim, I am pretty sure with the stock wheels a 38c will fit. The limiting factor is the crown height. usually for tires bigger than 32c (at least with our stock 700c rims) I recommend changing to a 650b anymore. But we don't have that as an option on the S40...

    Results of installing a Viscoset headset in an S40

    The new S40 will have the mid Viscoset. In my testing the high was just a bit too much - especially if you do any urban riding like I do where I am contstantly making 90 degree turns. Its awesome at high speed... but for overall the mid seems to be the winning ticket. Robert

    Shipping questions

    If you are looking for a box to send a Cruzbike and don't have the original one we use - a larger box from a bike shop that sells mountain bikes or bikes should work. Robert
