Seems like a clean slim design - I imagine it would work well.

Many of your cons are actually more pros: Climbing - once acclimated this is not really an issue. Possibly a bit "slower" than many uprights but 100 times more comfortable. On equal climbs in my years of training, I arrive at the top of the hill 10 mins or so later on my Cruzbike than I would...

I will concur on the Conti GP5000 - great ones for sure.

The above is great advice. The BB cups also need a spacer for the V20C. The corder set was primarily sourced for the S40 and there haven't been many people try it on the V20C. For the wider shell of the V20C likely a 6mm offset is needed, which we do not have, unfortunately. The only other...

Nice! On the Q bikes doing a steer tube trim for a finer fit can make for much better handling for sure. Same for the S40 though there is much less steer tube exposed. V20 and V20c folks - it is what it is - no room there for any trimming. ☺️

S Some, but less than you think and it comes naturally with practice. Over time you can ride a Cruzbike no-hands as your legs are doing all the steering as well - this is something you cannot not do on other recumbents. As such, the "no hands" riding, while not a practical skill for actual...

For tires, my mantra has always been "grip / speed / durability - pick two" but you can never get all three.

Just remember for all the climbs up to the other side - once at the top - those miles are free.

Great looking ride and great looking bike!!

I have a Q45 outfitted with the 24" wheels in Portland Oregon. 971-337-5685. That would do the trick for the fit. The main thing is being able to reach the ground at a stop.

Lucia has sent out the email, and we all hope to see you at the BRNW 2026 Oregon ride. It will be EPIC! Links below. This will one for the record book, folks. Train and be ready though... CLIMBS galore. But also - DOWNHILLS. Oh yes. This one will be very sweet. NOTE: Registration opens on the...

Joe, If you have everything a bit loose and install the through axle first, and then make sure the stay and all associated clamps are tight after - the stay should be very well aligned with the fork.

Aligning the slider/handlebars so your upper arms are aligned with your torso and rotating the bars for neutral wrists will improve the handling and turning ability a lot. Straight arms and "aero" are not really relevant unless you are racing and going well over 16mph all the time. Better to...

The stock bars are indeed a wider clone of these.

Yes you just have to be careful popping out the cup and I HIGHLY recommend using a headset press to do any headset installs. Sometimes a decent shop can loan/rent you a headset press.

I would say the S40 can hold its own against many regular riders on a ti-bike given the same fitness, etc. Not V20c fast but up there. It would be unfair to compare a very very good upright rider to an S40 - mostly as those pros and semi-pro try riders basically live on their road bikes and are...

1. Yes. 2. Complications and cost for design and manufacturing. 3. You never know we are always up to something.....

Cool pictures and concepts - but all I see from a product management/manufacturing/maintenance view is pure complication and unnecessary elements and high weight - the exact opposite of what makes for a good bicycle (recumbent or otherwise.) Also - most of those front fork suspension ideas I...
