Ok, I just got mine and tried it out. Photo below. Here is my report: Unfortunately this did not work for me on a V20. The device does pull and hold the chain from the top and rear of the cassette. On a standard bike, this is all you need to slip the wheel off to the rear. On our bike the...

It was my pleasure to meet Vaughn today. I've taught hundreds of people to take their first ride on a Cruzbike, but never before an amputee. Vaughn did better than 85% of the newbies that I have introduced to a Cruzbike. He's interested in an S40, but I didn't have one of those here in...

Friday, January 22, 2021 at 6:00 a.m. CST Tune in to Discord and listen and/or talk with Maria as she chats with Cruzbike rider David Bell. Details below from David: Join us for the Herd’s Kibbitz, Chinwag and Ride while we talk with fun and interesting people. Think of our ride as Comedians...

Hi Giloun, That was an excellent overview of the Q45. I love all the modifications, including the rubber duck :). Thanks for sharing this.

Zwift has become a very important part of many Cruzbike owners winter training, especially in this time of a pandemic. Riding a bike on an indoor trainer is notoriously dull. Zwift, with its colorful worlds and avatars, makes riding indoors really fun. It can also provide a very satisfying...

Can anyone here confirm the actual weight of their Thor seat? I see on the website they list a range of 450 to 750 g for their CF models. If you have one, please email me the model, size, and the actual weight. Thank you. jim@cruzbike.com

Are the handlebars at the top of the extension tube? If not, try raising the bars a bit. Extend the boom out another half inch or so. Sometimes that will give you all the clearance you need at the handlebar. Other options: sometimes rotating or flipping the bars will help, or a longer handlebar...

Great write up Hardy. I had a blast. Count me in for this Thursday. I will try not to hit the Airplane mode button during the race this time.

My excuse is related to nice weather. While clearing some brush on our farm I got a big dose of poison ivy. My right leg swelled up like an elephant, so no riding for a few days.

Correct. Not new. It's there for a steering dampener mount, though we are still doing R&D on that.

Maria and I are profoundly moved by Cruzbike owners who have found in their love of cycling also a love of the Cruzbike global community. This is the basis of the Tribe, and we are proud and happy to be members with Ak-Tux and everyone who made his S40 possible. I hope this Corona virus...

I recently wrote a blog about which potential Cruzbike owners should definitely find a test ride, and who may go straight to owning a Cruzbike without much worry that the bike won't be a good fit. I created these charts based on my experience with customers and the bikes. I'd like to know how...

Congratulations to Cliff Federspiel (ccf) for SMASHING my 6-hour recumbent record at the World TT Championship in Borrego Springs! 145.2 miles! 24.6 mph! Second overall to this Canadian, James McNaughton. . And congrats to Jeffrey Ritter for putting up 181.2 miles in the 12-hour event. Nice...

On a bicycling vacation one does not expect to confront the horrors of World War II. Maria has been blogging elsewhere about our trip to Europe with our Cruzbike Q45s. This post is about a moving experience not directly related to Cruzbike. Bicycling all day through Bavaria and strolling the...

I’m sure we’ll hear from Jason directly, but I got a text saying he was sunburned "because I had to cut open my shorts because they were too tight" but otherwise he is fine (and sounds like there will be a good story about his shorts). He finished 2nd overall and beat his time from 3 years...

Hi Jason, Today is the race. I'm not sure if you got a new bike assembled in time, but if you did, good luck! Jim

Many of you know that Maria and I recently finished an 11-day 1800 mile loop of the southeastern US, driving an RV with two T50s on the back to explore the local environs. For details, see Maria's recent blogs. It was one of the best vacations I've ever taken. But we got a few emails from...

Hi Andrew, Lumberton, North Carolina is still our home, but we are beginning to move up to new Cruzbike HQ in Newburyport, MA in May. Email me at jim@cruzbike.com and I'd be happy to schedule a time to introduce you to the V20. I'd probably start you out on the T50 or Q45, which are the easiest...
