    Boom ... was that an S30 that just passed you?

    As was stated by ratz - that is the basics of how the bike was changed. The same tube, lose the gap from the space taken by the shock. To make that work however the head tube had to change angles or it would be too steep. This is not the old frame with just a different front end - it has a bit...

    S30 Frame Assembly

    Have a new helpful video here for everyone. The same process here applies to assembling a V20 frame.

    Spring is HERE!! lets see your RIDE!!

    Those are some hand laced wheels on Son H Plus anodized NMSW rims with Shimano XT hubs. Super smooth, super quiet, and they carry speed like nobody's business. They are not the lightest wheels, but then I have never found really light wheels to be good for anything I ride (too heavy of an arse)...

    What handlebar comes with the current Silvio?

    Currently the new S30 comes with the same stock bar as before. But stay tuned as another bar will be coming as an upgrade - and will eventually find its way to become the new standard bar. Robert

    Boom ... was that an S30 that just passed you?

    We have plenty of support for the old shock fork so no worries there to those that have that version. As Jeremy stated, maintaining the geometry is key. It is possible that some options might be reviewed on having a spacer, etc - but nothing for certain as economies of scale come into play for...

    Boom ... was that an S30 that just passed you?

    This is true. Nimble without being "darty" at all. It very much handles like the suspended S30, but now with a more positive performance front end. Like was said - everything is a trade off, so there are gains in that arena but losses in the front comfort for some surfaces. If you have a...

    Boom ... was that an S30 that just passed you?

    There are only two people in the world who have ridden the new S30, Jonathan Garcia and myself at last weekends Pendleton Oregon CROC ride. The old S30 was a great machine. For those who wanted a great dual suspended bike it is a coveted bike for sure and is no slouch. This, however, is a new...

    Yellow Vendetta medium chainstay

    I should clarify a bit - This kit will not fit every bike - there will have to be clarifications of what model it is needed for. For example, the older Silvios this will not work. Changing the fork on those models to this one would alter the geometry and create some strange handling qualities...

    Yellow Vendetta medium chainstay

    The newer chainstay has a different interface at the dropout of the fork, so there is not a lot of compatibility there. Never fear as here soon I will have an option to replace the entire front end with a new fork and chainstay, as well as the newer boom and slider should someone want to do so...

    Large or standard ?

    Achieving the same crank height as another bike may not yield the same results you are looking for. The power position on a Cruzbike is not the same as other RWD recumbents and the relationship of seat to crank height is important - not just for power output but sight line and handling. Robert

    Vendetta V20 Build diary 2016

    This area is one where we have never been able to really come up with a "spec" (That word is a joke in the bike industry anyway and I am not a fan) as there are too many variables. Not all brands cups are the same, and not all have even the same shape, diameter, or thickness - clamping an FSA...

    Vendetta V20 Build diary 2016

    What ratz said. I go just to snug and then 1/4 to 1/2 turn but no more.

    My V20 in the wild

    The position of your arms is as important as your leg extension on a Cruzbike - depending on the terrain and wether or not you want to extract the maximum performance for that terrain. For example, if you have a lot of hills or terrain that requires more upper body, you have to seek out the...

    Diatech Headset Adjustment

    David, I believe you are referring to the headset on the QX100, which is different than the Diatech on the Q559. Robert

    My practice ride - video

    Nice. Other than I don't recommend riding over the car stops. AWESOME!

    Disk Brake on Silvio?

    Use 140 front and rear. You have to use 140's in the back as there is barely enough clearance for that size rotor and a 160 will not fit. On the front 140 is plenty of stopping power for the V20 and anything more is in my opinion complete overkill. Robert
