Your noise might be caused by improper adjustment of the b screw allowing the upper jockey pulley to come in contact with the large cog on the cassette. Turning the screw in a bit might be the solution. Check out the Sheldon Brown site for excellent info on rear derailleur adjustment...

I recently mounted 28mm Conti 5000TL's on my Vendetta. I had to use a compressor to get the initial seating. I'm using Trucker Co sealant. These are my 3rd set of tubeless tires. They ride really good with a bit more comfort than the 25mm Pro Ones they replaced. So far at 300 miles they seem to...

Congratulations Doc. I too made the transition from a Sivio 2.0 to a Vendetta - a red one in my case. Not only is the V a sleeker, faster, lower to the ground speedster, it is also the most comfortable Cruzbike in the lineup.

Yes, when it comes to intelligence ratz is in another class entirely. I remember sitting around a table in the dining hall at the 2016 Northwest Cruzbike Retreat with Ratz, his wife Tanya, Robert Holler and a few others. Ratz sez: "I use a mnemonic to help me memorize 2,000 passwords so I don't...

Those are stock bars. No idea what kind they are. The stock seat with a Ventist pad, the stock headrest and stock bars all work out fine for me. I did add a couple pieces of yoga mat foam to the headrest to put my head in a slightly more vertical position. That aero bag of yours looks really rad!

I have a Bacchetta Brain Bag on my Vendetta. I have had the bag for 6 years, notice the faded appearance, and it has held up well. I previously had it on my Silvio 2.0 but when I switched it over to the V I had to modify it some to keep it from dragging on the wheel. There is a nylon strap at...

I mounted it on the front wheel near the rim. Don't know why you would have to mount it close to the axle.

I use the Planet Bike Protege 8.0 (wired) computer. It has all the basic functions plus a thermometer. It works great and can be switched between 2 bikes with differing wheel sizes.

I use the Zefal Spy mirrors on my Vendetta, one mounted on each of the brifters, and on my Silvio 1.0 and had them on the Silvio 2.0 that I sold a few years ago. They work perfectly for me and the reflective surface has not degraded in over 4 years of use. I had a Cycle Star mirror on my P-38...

Like I say I shrunk them down to the smallest size offered on my photo app and still no go.. But I'm willing to try again.

OK, thanks. I think I know what you mean.

Thanks Jason but I have posted many photos over the years, most of them now replaced with just an IMG box but no more photo. I did a posting in 2018 on rail trail biking on the T-50 - all those photos, which I copied after posting them on FB, have now disappeared. Trying to drag & drop from my...

That sounds like a great adventure and would be a first for the Q-45. The Q-45 would suffer on loose gravel uphill but it would have to be fairly steep before slippage occurs and you might be ready to bail and walk at that point anyway. One rider completed the GDT on an Azub Six last year...

I have always had trouble posting photos here. It says my photos are too large even tho I shrink them way down. The only work around I have found is to first post them on FaceBook and then copy and paste them into Cruzbike Forum. The downside of this method is the photos disappear from CB awhile...

I put a 100mm extension on my Silvio 1.0 and it helped, comfort wise, immensely. I never felt I needed one on my first Cruzbike the Silvio 2.0 but then you may be taller than me.

A friend of mine just purchased this bike. Tribe say hello to Doby Buesse from Orlando, FL. Doby and I go way back to around 1986 when we met on a mt bike ride in the Ocala National Forest. We were both riding big, heavy Ross mt bikes at the time. I got invited up to the Buesse family cabin in...

DocS I started out with the same bike you have - a Silvio 2.0 - purchased new 6 years ago (see my profile pic). 3 years ago I made the switch to a Vendetta and discovered substantial performance gains. I feared the slightly more laid back position of the V (22 degree on the V vs 27 deg on the S)...

You are bound to be a bit wiggly and nervous at first on the Cruzbike - at least I was on the Silvio 2.o I started out with. I wouldn't recommend going on group rides right away until you can confidently ride a straight line. There is upper body involvement on the Cruzbike which is different...

Hi Doc, I started out with a new Silvio 2.0 6 years ago. I knew next to nothing about Cruzbikes and had never been on one. I took the leap after hearing about Maria's awesome win at the 2013 Race Across America (RAAM). The Silvio is going to feel very odd at first. The moving bottom bracket and...
