    Q45 Build photos

    Also important is to check the offset of the spindle - if there are spacers between the rings and the BB bearing cup on the drive side - and minimize those for a good chainlink. The FD stalk is loner than a standard upright bike braze-on (it is actually an off the shelf piece we had extended)...

    V20 Vs Slyway Ultra

    Hmm. Hey all this is something I believe we can look into. I am not an expert on the Shopify thing and I believe (?) much of those calculations are baked into the system.... but I am not 100% sure. We can check it out though! Of course we would rather you all be on the superior machine and...

    Chosen front hub

    Unfortunately there are many reasons - and it stretches to all things cars, phones, TV's and bike parts. There are nearly zero "parts" that can be had for newer components (not just for bikes but all of the above) to regular consumers. Manufacturers have abandoned the "serviceability" of these...

    V20 Vs Slyway Ultra

    I has the misfortune of having to “build” an M5 last spring for someone who bought a frame set and when I say “build” I mean work around/solve the 100 issues that it had just to get the bike built. Not ready for prime time. The V20c is 100% a bike that a regular person can order, receive, and...

    Slider crack - maybe?

    Our manufacturing partner that makes the CF parts is making replacements as I type this - they are supposed to be stronger in that junction and we will likely go to the 4nm as the torque for that part as it seems to be sufficient.

    Slider crack - maybe?

    Hey all - of course we never like to see this sort of thing, but know we are getting more reinforced sliders on the way... I have been having nightly conversations with our MFG partners so they are aware and also getting replacements in the pipeline. After looking at a few of these closely I...

    Heel strike. Thats about all I have to think of that.

    Slider crack - maybe?

    Hey all. This has been a thing we have seen on some of the early ones. I would ask you all to let us know in the service email so we can keep a list of folks needing a new slider and we are working on replacing these - and also getting more made currently. We have not found this to cause...

    Handlebar Options v20c

    The V20 and V20c bars are wide clones of the Salsa Woodchipper II bar. As on off the shelf bar it can be had in much narrower widths than the stock one (which is indeed super wide for ease of learning the bike/more casual riding)

    How to mount a headlight on V20c?

    There is a specific bracket for the V20C: https://cruzbike.com/collections/recumbent-road-bicycle-accessories-and-parts/products/v20c-light-mount Basically just a custom made L

    Sweden N-S (July 6 - 11)

    This is the picture that you show to people who ask the question, "Why do you ride those bikes?" Super cool.

    At my wits end with the SRAM AXS Eagle 1x12 derailleur

    The other issue that I have (this is a general complaint/rant that I have about bike industry nerds who design this stuff) is that the reality of "good shifting" pretty much started to tank when they went beyond 10 speeds, and even then the older 9 speeds shifted much better. So what you are...

    At my wits end with the SRAM AXS Eagle 1x12 derailleur

    The through axle rear is 142mm An offset ring will move the chain more inwards closer to the centerline of the cranks. https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/pages/how-to-find-the-correct-chainring-for-your-mountain-bike-with-sram-transmission I have never found much worth to the hard and fast...

    Tubeless

    I would have to do some digging, but I do not think so at that time. Look on the rim to see if it has "TCC or TC" somewhere on it - some rims put that on as an indicator of "tubeless compatible"

    Tubeless

    The latest one does, though I cannot say which valve works best on that particular rim, and I am not sure of the rim tape is "tubeless ready" - but the rim itself is.

    At my wits end with the SRAM AXS Eagle 1x12 derailleur

    The correct offset isn't specific to the bike per-se but depends on what rings, etc are on there. Looking at the pic it would seem an offset ring is needed.... on the stock setup it works but it's a close call, and even then if the cassette is swapped to a bigger one the large cog has a tough...

    At my wits end with the SRAM AXS Eagle 1x12 derailleur

    The chain line should ideally put the ring/rings right close to the center of the cassette. When changing cranks or rings - often a new BB is possibly needed or a ring (in the case of a single) that has an offset - most are ), 3mm, or even 6mm offset depending on the bike and what might be...

    S40 - Final Training Ride + random thoughts

    This has become my favorite stand as well. It works really well. Particularly since these were custom made for us by special order (the company had actually stopped making them entirely and made for us at request - which took a LONG time haha) and the wheels were upgraded a bit from the original...
