    Thor seat on S30v2 vs. handlebar height

    Nice bike! My dream favourite and rare cruzbike S30 model! Use a stem riser to extend the steerer height and raise the handlerbar which will increase clearance from your leg. You can then push the handlebar forward slightly. It would be cheaper than buying a curved boom. The stem riser...

    Rail/Trail biking on the T50

    Very nice scenery! Must be peaceful and refreshing on the recumbents!

    S40 to V20 frame compabilty

    Can one order the S40 front triangle only (fork, chainstays, BB and boom)? How much would that cost?

    Outside diameter of S40 boom slider?

    Even the entire front triangle of the S40 would be worth buying if it was available for sale.

    Who said that you cannot 'stand on pedals' on a recumbent?

    They have one thing in common: Under Seat Steering (USS), although it seems to me he can still execute this with normal steering position. His ability to lift the front wheel and climb the ramp is a more practical use than the FWD wheelie.

    First Crash On the Vendetta

    Sorry for your crash @ScottRadliff ! I have seen a couple of youtube videos recently of new Vendetta V20 owners crashing. Yours is the third I have seen within a month. In my humble opinion, the V20 is not suitable for first time cruzbike/recumbent owners who want to get the bike and hit the...

    T50 Cruiser Special Edition $1200

    Would you sell it as a frameset only? Just wondering, it might be ideal for someone who likes modifications and tinkering.

    T50 vs Q45 boom stiffness?

    I wonder if a Q45/S40 front triangle ( fork, stays and boom) can be mounted onto a T50 frame. Anyone tried? Does Cruzbike sell the S40/Q45 front triangle as spares?

    Biking Across Kansas on my Q45

    My bad, I measured again and my BB is only about 5cm above the lowest point of the seat.

    how to stop wobbling

    Thank you for adding the third video, it makes it clearer. Yes, there is a random zigzag motion to the bike during pedalling. It appears to me that it does not ride a straight line. I noticed a few things: When you are coasting ,you seem to track straight and more stable, hence the problem is...

    how to stop wobbling

    Doesn't look like much of a "wobble" to me but left and right alternating compensation by the arm and shoulders to the pedal stroke. It is equivalent to that of a DF only that this time it is horizontal. Can you follow a line on the road and ride true? You need to ask a cycling buddy to follow...

    My T50 Emeljay Mod

    Thank you in advance! I usually use my bathroom scale. I pick up the bike, step on the scale, then I repeat without the bike and get the difference. My second question: Is there any lateral(sideways) play to the seat? I ask because I'am curious about the fact that there is no integral part of...

    S-40 with Thor Carrier Seat

    I think the little hump at the front of an Easy GS is only in the middle of the front curve of the seat and is intended to stop the rider from sliding forward on a recumbent with seat reclines higher than 34 degrees. I think its a clever design.

    Biking Across Kansas on my Q45

    I think it depends on each individual because our heights are all different relative to the bicycle. I don't have statistics but for me a lower bottom bracket puts less pressure as long as the seat curve at the bottom is not pointing too sharply upwards. However when I reclined my seat lower I...

    Comfortable Vendetta brevet setup

    Could this have been your bike before it was sold to you? Look at the bag setup:
