I added 6 or 7, can’t remember which it was. Was surprised as I thought it was just a standard chain. I’m running a 36/52 Q ring with the standard boom and can shift through all the gears without issue
It really depends on the length of your chainstay and your big ring top and bottom. I run 19" chainstay which is standard, and a 53x28 and I think I need 5 extra inches which is 10-links. I am actually just running a standard chain while my others are drying. I just cannot go big-big or it will...
As mentioned above by castlerobber (Betsy I'm only 5' 5.75"....I seem to be shrinking lol) but with a 41.5" ex-seam, and the standard chainstay V20 fits me just fine. In fact, at your height, you'll fit the bike better than I do because your shorter ex-seam will make it easier to get adequate...
Ak-Tux,
The wheels are 32 spoke with Compass Chinook Pass 700C X 28 tires. I weigh about 150 pounds and find that 32 spoke holds up well for me. These wheels have about 7,000 miles on them on various bikes. The tires are very comfortable on most road surfaces. I'll probably try 32mm when...
Looking good! Is the chainstaylength standard or the longer one? The BB height looks nice and high!
Are those 36 spoke wheels with 28mm or 32mm tires? How did it climb?
I've been trying to get the new chainstay for some time. Not sure if they're available as an accessory yet. I needed to move to a standard lengthchainstay on my V20 but never got a response from Cruzbike. Currently riding a "loaner" std. lengthchainstay of the old style.
They're very busy with...
No. My cranks will be 155mm in length. With an old-school square-taper BB, you have to choose how long you need the axle to be to get an optimum chainline (between front chainring and rear gear). Because I will be running a single chainring, I don't need much axle width (would need wider if I...
Correct
It's shorter.
In the future, their will be multiple lengths beyond medium and long, but the details are pending, and there is the speed of ocean freighters involved in the additional so keep in mind that might be a hefty wait.
I have question to new chainstay part. I estimate from pictures that new BB clapms goes only above boom and not over external BB bearing. So external bearing is no longer necessary and square-taper BB may be used. Also there is no longer limitation on BCD of crankset what means that smaller than...
The Fit and Adjustment video shows two different chainstaylengths for the S40 (if you pay attention, the chainrings change position relative to the front tire) and in that video Robert says two lengths are available to customers.
From the highlighted comment and the picture, it seems the new stay is shorter than the old "standard" length. My V20 has an "extra-long" chainstay, curved slider, and the stem just 5mm from fully slammed. I'm hoping the new stay will be available in "extra-long" stay as well.
I figured the T50 was put together like the Q-series. Since I have the DualDrive, I have a rear derailleur tensioning the chain, so that's never been a problem.
...offset is small enough to not matter in practice, but unlike the Vendetta and Silvio where the chainstay pivots around the front wheel axis, the chainstay pivot on the T50 appears to be a bit in front of the dropouts, which means the effective chainstaylength will change a bit with the boom...
3) Cruzbike used to spec the SRAM DualDrive IGH on their Quest (predecessor to the current QX100). I assume the Alfine would work in similar fashion. Don't know enough about the Rohloff to say.
The distance between the hub and the bottom bracket (cranks) is fixed, just as on an upright bike, by...
...price for those riders who are at the borderline, but it probably wouldn't be cost effective for the company to do that. It seems those between 5' 11" and 6' 1" are most unsure about chainstaylength. I'd stick with a medium being within half an inch of your height, as I don't like a very...
At the risk of double posting, (in the conversions category) I wonder if anyone might have the actual thread size, pitch and length of the allen-head bolt used to secure the conversion kit chainstay to the fork adapter.
Many thanks.
Do note that the chainstaylength changes with boom adjustment since the front end is not a true triangle. This doesn't meant that an eccentric BB won't work. You'll just have to adjust it to compensate. I would like to know more about the eccentric BB because I have a NuVinci wheel I could use.
