100% accurate. Well said. :-)

Sadly, yes the 2020 fork has less room than we all wanted for fenders in the 700c. The crown was changed to better match the head tube all in trying to keep the seat as low as possible for dual 700c - and it ended up a bit too tight with a 30c tire. But definitely if you spring for 650b the...

Most excellent!

I think I need another cup of coffee to figure out what my brain just saw up there. :-)

Cool. I know Jim has made his lengths pretty custom on his race bikes to shave that small bit of weight. In general though I don't recommend any cutting except for short riders - and then only cutting enough to make the inward adjustment. Ideally the more tube overlap the better for overall...

PSA for everyone utilizing the scales on top of these booms and sliders: Note that the relative position of these numbers is pretty pointless for a "universal" measurement as the etching on the tubes has moved over time and on different models. As we have come to use the same boom and slider...

Most excellent!

For a small amount of $ send an email to us at support@cruzbike.com and Marianne will hook you up with a set of the headrest tube/pad that comes with the bike. We have spares. The stock headrest setup on the S40 is pretty good for most people. Take a look inside the headrest holes at he top of...

Here is a good basic adjustment video. Youtube has several for sure. Note that there is a fine balance to adjusting a derailleur and usually adjusting one thing can impact another and the order of the adjustment is really important:

Also, ensure that the chain stay to boom interface is centered. Sometimes those clamps can be a bit loose and the stay it not nice and centered on the BB shell.

Congrats on your S40! With some practice you will be riding like a pro. -The extender is for the front of the seat - to extend it if needed for a bit more of a platform for your butt to rest on. -I have never had an issue with the position related to the seat/main tube being close to the...

Very good points. Also I have seen people go down as when they get a flat tire they seem to just physically cave and turn into a noodle and let the bike go down. Awareness is key and you have to be mentally and physically in control of the bike at all times, especially when you are going to be...

The Parc PCS-10 is what I use. Works perfectly. https://www.parktool.com/product/deluxe-home-mechanic-repair-stand-pcs-10-2?category=Portable

Great writeup and great suggestions from all on the light mount and also the shock. :-) Robert

I just use a standard Park Tool PC9 - just clamp around the boom or slider and let the back end hang down below the front a bit. Works perfect.

Correct. The stock wheel on the complete is 135.

Whenever I have added on the pounds I just consider it more of a bonus for my land missile downhill speeds. Hahaha

This is true for the 2019. There is a slight fork crown change on the 2020 that reduces the clearance a bit there for a 30c or 32c (depending on rims/tire brand) for the front fork. This change however possibly allows for a caliper brake to be used (haven't tried that) and this is the best...

He. Has. Returned.

Its like learning a good musical instrument - practice, attention to the details, and getting it to fit right end up paying huge dividends - and when you master it - it is amazing. Keep up the good work!
