Now that's a nice looking Now that's a nice looking garage.

Andrew is correct - and if Andrew is correct - and if the seat is not going to be removed the knobs can be replaced with nylock nuts. The knobs under the seat base are ones to check every handful of rides as well to make sure they are snug. Robert :)

Oh my..... Oh my..... ;-)

It is a good idea to do a It is a good idea to do a check over of the bike just about every ride, and a more thorough check (on your own mainly) at that interval. No tools needed for most stuff - but always just a look over of brakes/headset/look for loose or missing bolts/etc. Bikes are...

The 20" Q is a great bike. The 20" Q is a great bike. There is a lot that can be done with it. I have a Downtube folder frame hanging in my shop that "may" get a conversion, but I do not see a need. The Q is a tested design and works great as a daily rider! Robert

"Excellent...." Spread the "Excellent...." Spread the word and get a few more there soon! ;-) Robert

The Q rings in particular are The Q rings in particular are very adjustable. I have ran them on my Cruzbike as well as several high racers, 26/20 configurations, and trikes as well. All good and they work great! Robert

Great looking bag!Unless you Great looking bag! Great looking bag! On one that high be sure to not overload it too heavy unless it is nice and solid side to side. That bag though looks good for the usual lightweight items like a jacket, leg warmers, etc. Robert

I would also second the idea I would also second the idea of giving the stock handlebars a shot first. It takes a while and some miles to really dial in the comfort and fine tuning and getting used to the bike as designed can yield great results. The set-up is rather dialed in as it is...

Excellent ride progress! Excellent ride progress!

My .02 - A continuous run of My .02 - A continuous run of housing will save a lot of headache in the long run and actually be smoother over a longer time since there are less entry points for dust/moisture/etc. It also makes replacing a broken or too-frayed cable a million times...

Excellent Chuck! With that Excellent Chuck! With that under your belt you will be able to tackle any ride now. Robert

Double confirmed! It fits Double confirmed! ;-) It fits without any issue. Be sure to dial that brake in lightly - a 160 on the back is a lot of brake for the bike.

A most excellent thread for A most excellent thread for looking at transit vans!

I have never noticed that I have never noticed that much flex in the front ends of these bikes unless on an extreme climb where i was left with nothing else but to mash and counter-steer. In a good pedal rhythm there should not be any need to pull or push on the bars at all. In fact I am...

I would be concerned about I would be concerned about how much weight is behind the rear axle and how the handling was affected. It would be a good experiment. The best place for any weight is where those red bags are. Ideal. Robert

This has been my experience This has been my experience for just about every recumbent - Cruzbike or not - for people who are new. If they perceive a lot of learning and learned skill needed, and they have it in mind that "oh my this is going to be hard" it almost ALWAYS is hard. Those...

It is very easy for all of us It is very easy for all of us here (and long time recumbent riders in general) to come up with a ton of variations on a theme, but the reality is that for any recumbent to hit mainstream it has to be in an arrangement that requires little to no tinkering and be...

Great thread here. I like Great thread here. I like relating the feeling of riding a Cruzbike (or any recumbent really) to the same "discovery" that a kid has riding a bike. It is also a paradigm that most people can wrap their mind around. When selling a recumbent though, I typically...

Yikes. That was a lot of Yikes. That was a lot of commentary with literally zero evidence or examples to support the theory. More of a "I cant do it therefore its no good" perspective. That said - it is not surprising and I have to agree with scabinetguy. Could easily say that about any...
