I tested the setup for the first time this weekend. It added some 600+ grams to my bike:rolleyes:. The bag also needs to be stuffed up otherwise it does not retain a good aero shape. However, it does have plenty of carrying space for a rain jacket, pump, puncture kit, snacks e.t.c should I need...

Beautiful bike! Great progress in such a short time! When you feel comfortable you can practice a technique called "bridging". It's good for short (less than 100m) punchy climbs. Also good when going over speed bumps. Enjoy!

Good point on the S40/S30/V20 wheel slip comparison. I think the main reason S40 is likely to slip despite being more upright is the inherent design that puts the rider higher and further back from the front wheel. I've, always wondered why but it apppears that it was intended to create a...

For V20, it's even better! Have a look at @Frito Bandito 's setup.

As @LarryOz said, the boom position will be slightly shorter than what is considered normal for the usual "cleat-over-ball-of-the-foot" position. You will have to refine it with feel. For me, I took side pictures of my self and estimated the knee angle when the pedal is furthest from me. You...

Testing a mount on S40 with pieces of aluminium. Will probably paint them black later. (It also looks like a good frame for a partial aero sock :cool: .)

Interesting adapter I came aross on Aliexpress. If used in reverse it can make a great midfoot cleat mounting system: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005336719513.html

Try midfoot cleats and shorten the boom to match. Maybe it might help. Just maybe. https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/mid-foot-shoe-adapter-has-anyone-tried-this.14114/

Congratulations! What was your gearing combination?

@Frito Bandito , Thank you very much! What material is that frame piece that supports the bag? Aluminium?

I have started a new thread here: https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/affordable-aero-tailbags.15296/

Avery recumbent bicycle deserves a good aero tail bag right? Let's post some good ideas here: 1. Bachetta Brain bags 2. Radical Solo Aero bags 3. Generic Motorcycle Tail bags found on Aliexpress. They have quite a variety!. They are about 400g. Check...

+1. Same here! Agreed 100%, especially if another rider is in front, the water sprays straight to the face. :mad:

Not my bike, but wow! Just came across it on Facebook posted by @Derek ? A rocket ship!!

Thank you very much. This warrants a whole different thread , I think! Call it "Affordable Aero Tailbags" then share some of the detailed photos of your setup?

Yes, I found on Aliexpress(Not exact same brand. They have quite a variety!) It's about 400g. I think they ship to the US. (I reside in Kenya though. ) Check: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004937009445.html But I have not mounted it yet. It's not rigid enough to hold shape. I need to...

1x12 ? What your currrent ring size? Looks cool!

Oh with that tailbox, this one must be blistering fast!

The tailbag really "completes" the look of the bike. Love it!

My beloved S40 :)
