awesome. i have done centuries on my sofrider without recumbutt, but i also use a ventisit pad and a very slight wedge.

...have to go ride a bunch. too far from you but i have one of each (okay no q45, but my sofrider is darn close) the only consistent issue is simply one of weight distribution. the more upright you are, the more you may have recumbutt issues to address, depending on you average distance of ride.

Could you post some pictures of your Thor seat attached to your bike please? I ordered an easy seat from Thor. I'm also over 200lbs. Thanks in advance!

I would 100% purchase one. I am willing to give the V20 angle a shot, but I'm honestly worried. I didn't like my VTX seat angle. If a Thor seat and rubber blocks can get me close, I'm sure it'll be fine. But yeah, I kick myself for selling that S30.

...bike company to do this, but such a bike would sure have fans. I love my V20c and S30. But when I owned an S40, it gave me such horrible recumbutt that I decided to sell it (that, and it was too redundant with the S30). If they put out an S40-style S30, I'd probably sell my current S30 and...

Which Thor seat did you use to replace the stock seat on your Q45?

...set up my Q45 pretty upright also. After about 3 months of learning, I did a week long 600 mile trip across Kansas. I experienced some recumbutt on that ride, so decided to get a Thor seat, which is contoured, and more reclined (It’s at about 34 degrees). That takes some of the considerable...

...the extra thick cushion. It's now the most comfortable bike I've every owned, even on 70 mile rides. My only pain is exercise pain. No recumbutt or other issues. I'm planning to use if tor touring with a trailer and some smaller banana racer paniers. I also upgraded my drivetrain to...

Thanks for this! It definitely gives me a better idea of what to expect. Sounds like I'll adapt quickly since I have a great foundation with my former S30.

...three--not that the V and S30 are that hard to handle. Having the S30 and S40 became too redundant to justify, and the S40 gave me awful recumbutt, while the S30 never has. So I sold the S40, and still have the S30. I replaced the V20 with a V20c, and there is now an official speed...

Depends on your body weight. If you are a heavy rider like me (~220 lbs), you will suffer with daily recumbutt on the S40. I tried lots of seat combinations. Nothing worked. No recumbutt on the V20. The Q45 has an adjustable seat back but I'm not sure how far you can adjust it.

I solved the recumbutt issue on my S40 by adding about 1" of military grade polyethene foam. I rode it in this year's Texas BikeMS150 (Houston-LaGrange-College Station) and had no problems whatsoever.

...an S40 with a lower seat angle (30 deg), I would buy one for touring. I toured 11K miles with an S40 last year and suffered every day with recumbutt. I'm done with the S40. I converted it to an ebike for short trips around town. I'm trying to convert my V20 for touring, but like the S30...

...the seat angle? I find it hard to get this information. My biggest problem touring with the S40 is the seat angle is too high and I get terrible recumbutt. I never have that issue with the V20. If I can get the Q45 to an angle of about 30-35 deg, I may consider it for a touring bike. Thanks.

Glad to see the idea has helped someone.

...Km on this bike in 2 and half years. I have fine tuned the fit to near perfection, modified the seat padding to minimize eliminate the recumbutt. It has truly become a joy to ride. It's a sad day for me. Its an S40 model 2019. (It had a front disk brake but the original front wheel freehub...

This is my slightly different mod inspired by ak-tux's mod! I solved the sliding forward and recumbutt issue on my S40 by adding ~1" of military grade polyethene foam with the 'cut out' in the middle and ~1.5" raised section at the front. It isn't pretty and could be more refined but I rode my...

I enjoyed following along with your blog: "2021 Tour around the USA perimeter" https://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/?o=3d2&doc_id=23455&v=2YR Thanks for sharing, and I'm interested in how the V20 works for touring. I saw that you wrote a while ago: "I no longer believe the V20 can be used for...

...-70 lbs. The bike was superb on good roads but really was uncomfortable on rough roads. Dirt, gravel, forget it. My biggest problem was recumbutt. It plagued me every day for a year. I won't tour on the S40 anymore. I'm looking at ways to gear up my V20 for touring. It will still suck...

...S40. I appreciated the S40's utility, but decided having both bikes was too redundant. I kept the S30 because the S40 gave me terrible recumbutt, while the S30 never has. If Cruzbike ever put out a limited batch of S30s built like the S40, I bet they'd sell fast, and I'd probably buy one...
