    Disc Brakes for S40

    The entire bike industry in general has seemed to go TRP for factory bikes. Setup, dual piston design, and maybe some quality/supply issues drove that change as Avids used to reign supreme for disc brakes. Everything is dependent on a lot of other factors like hub flange height, etc as was...

    Is Robert Holler a figment of my imagination?

    ElyDave, Sorry for my delay - I think your email got lost in the mix. Your VM was a bit broken up and when I tried the number that was on the caller ID it said "number does not exist" I cannot remember if you had left a number on the VM - the connection dropped a few times (voicemail connection...

    Wow!! Let it be known that the Cruzbike is VERY capable. There really isn't any excuse for anyone else now.

    Upgrade from Sofrider to Q45??

    The Sofrider is a definite classic and one of my favorite Cruzbike models. The Q45 is like the sporty upgrade/evolution of that same concept.

    Q45 ASSEMBLY PLEASE READ!

    Hi everyone. The assembly videos and links to a downloadable written google doc on assembly are located at the bottom of the Q45 purchase page where it also notes assembly is required. For bikes in general - "complete" means no additional components needed. This is not the same as "fully...

    cornering

    Ill echo the no sitting up unless you are navigating very slow - like walking speed. As soon as you sit up you are now pulling on the bars and have lost all of your ability to leverage your steering (or counter-steering depending on your speed and the corner) Also upon sitting up you pit your...

    cornering

    Cornering on a Cruzbike = counter steer like riding a motorcycle. keep the power rolling on smooth. If you are overrunning your fastest gear - know what speed and at what cadence you can re-engage the drivetrain. No sudden movements. Forward pressure on the handlebars. Awareness of what your...

    What would you do?

    This is not entirely correct. There was only ever ONE actual S30 production run. "Silvio S30" for the bike before the actual S30 was produced is nomenclature only - that was a "Silvio" production run that became in name "Silvio S30." The actual S30 had a solid front fork (and different head...

    GONE - Silvio v1 - $1000 - Lakewood, CO

    If someone can fit this machine (it wasn't a friendly fit for really tall riders without the extension) it is a sweeeeeeet Cruzbike. That's a version 1 and there are not many of those out there.

    Gates Carbon Drive + Geared Hub

    A bolt on hub will work on the T50 and OLDER Q's and Sofriders. The Q45/S40/S30/V series bikes are not compatible with bolt on hubs - but a QR Rolloff would be fine on that front end if you use the "Monkey Bone" disc brake I.S. adapter adapter they sell to secure the hub. The only current model...

    Wider Acceptance

    Groups like the UCI etc will continue to just change the rules to their liking - further making them irrelevant in the larger view of the actual public. These things already suffer from the "dozens of fans" syndrome. Regular people wanting to ride bikes are not paying attention to their rules -...

    Diatech Headset Adjustment

    That headset is really an item that eventually wears and will never be capable of being tightened properly as the main outer ring wears and expands over time. It is and always was a poor design, and we no longer use it. Parts are not available for it, much like parts are not available for...

    Can we get smaller frames and wheels?

    Creating frames of multiple sizes is a cost per unit and manufacturing challenge.
