I use a 1up-USA Quik Rack for a V20c or an S40.

Lat's see, if you mean did it mount directly to the V20c frame with no modifications, the answer is no. You need to drill holes in the seat no matter what. They are delivered with reinforced areas indicated for where you should drill holes for your particular bike setup. This is common for...

Squeaks and creaks eliminated: The loud creaks and squeaks on my new V20c pretty clearly were coming from the area of the Slider/Stem clamps area. Using guidance from various forum discussions, I addressed it with a couple fixes. I disassembled the stem and slider clamp assembly and...

This one fits right over the top of the Thor Easy seat. No modifications; just pull it over the seat until tight. Depending on your situation, you may have to temporarily remove your neckrest to get it on. Not an issue with the neckrest that comes with the adjustable carbon seat (which...

Yeah, I think I've been a little too casual in my thinking about that bottle holder. As you suggest, it's very possible it has no effect on the aero properties overall. I suspect I am just biased because it looks a bit weird to me. YMMV. Sometimes I wonder if the V20's largest advantage for...

Thanks. No, the chainstay is the standard 19 inch version. I believe the others that are available are longer than this. I wouldn't mind having a shorter one to raise my handlebar a bit, but that apparently isn't in the cards.

The bag is the Radical Design Solo Aero Seat Bag Narrow.You can make it a little more aero by removing the bottle holder, but I'm keeping it on until I get some cages mounted. It's roomy and has a couple internal pockets.

Hi All, Backstory: After a hiatus of about 2 years, I’ve returned back to the Cruzbike fold. I sold my S30 back then to concentrate on some upright and high racer recumbent riding with a local bike club, with the anticipation of eventually getting an updated Cruzbike in the near future. I was...

I went down this particular rabbit hole a few years ago when trying to find an XDR freehub /driver for an ICE trike rear wheel with a Chosen hub. I was unable to find the proper info from the Chosen web site. However if your present Shimano-compatible freehub has 3 pawls that look like the...

I hope it’s more than just components and colors. If not, it hardly merits being called the next gen since you can always change components. Let’s see what is revealed in the unveiling later in November. Hopefully some surprises will emerge!

I try to get a q-factor of about 160 mm with short cranks. I’m using Origin8 cranks with light square taper bottom brackets (Omni Racer). I’ve been running anywhere from 140 to 155 mm cranks arm lengths. Ray

I've had a few Apex cranks and they have a SRAM standard 145 q-factor. Pretty narrow, but made for road bikes and not so out of the norm for those. For some reason, I find myself more sensitive to q-factor/stance on a recumbent than an upright diamond frame. The Apex 145 width gave me severe...

I found a magic solution in shrink tubing for golf grips. I put them on my S30 and had no slippage over a few years of heavy use. This came up in an earlier thread at https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/bar-wrap-grips.13900/page-2#post-169558 Only need to replace it when you decide it can no...

I usually run 55-60 psi on Conti 5000 or 5000 S at 32 mm. My weight is 175-180.

Sorry, the bike has sold already. Thanks for the inquiry!

The Adjustable CF seat is fine; a significant improvement over the OEM flat seat for me at least. The included adjustable neckrest is also great. Really nothing to dislike, expect it'd be nice if it were free... :)

Works fine for touring. The limiting clearance for tire sizes are set by the rear brake bridge width. Measurements give; 700c tires limited to 30mm max, 28 is more comfortable. 650b wheel max clearance is 39 mm, max tire size is about 35 mm for 2 mm clearance on each side. I've run 32 x 650b...

Hi All, I have for sale a Cruzbike S30. This is the now-discontinued “Goldilocks” or “Unicorn” Cruzbike version that sat between the V20c and the S40 with an approximate 30-degree seat angle. It has a carbon-fiber rear leaf suspension with an elastomer spring/damper. This bike was bought...

I have one of the last S30 sold, and am planning to put in on the market imminently. It is in excellent condition and ready to ride. If you are interested, give me a holler for details.

FWIW, I have an S30 that I've been thinking of putting up for sale. It is one of the last ones sold and is in excellent condition and I have lots of options available for it (e.g. seats, sliders, etc.). Give me holler if you wish to discuss it. Ray
