    SKS Airspy tyre pressure monitors

    Wow - those are cool - but pricey - $240 each - Too rich for my blood! :) - I also doubt if they work very well with tubeless tires. I have noticed that the valves in my tubeless tires are the first to clog up. Eventually they get so bad I can't even pump air back into the tires.

    Cruzbike power surge using upper body

    I have ridden many different Cruzbikes with power meters and done much testing- and have been able to look at my data after the fact. As a general rule - you can get 10-20% more power by using the upper body method and this low level can be maintained for basically as long as you have the...

    Looking for an S40 seat

    It will fit (same mounting holes from the frame) - but it will not have the little extension that they now sell with the S40 - for that reason the Ventisit cushion is also a little longer

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    Great info - it might also be better talk about you "power" in W/Kg instead of just watts. True CdA takes all that into acocunt as well, but those trying to make sense of what 200 or 188 Watts "means" for them - W/Kg is much more helpful. I know with 190W and 67Kg Mass - my W/Kg = 2.83 - WIth...

    I bought a used Silvio…brand new to Cruzbike….mistake?

    I think Silvio 2.0 and 2.1 are the same geometry (can't remember off the top of my head what the difference is - but minor I am pretty sure) - @ratz can probalby confirm. I am pretty sure these models are 28 degrees seat angle - so I would just get a some dense foam and fabriate a tapered wedge...

    Vendetta V 2.0 for sale: asking $2,100

    I would go to my local bike shop (LBS) and ask for a box. An e-bike box is larger, but as I mentioned if you carefully remove the boom and chainstay (and perhaps the cranks), you should be able to fit the Vendetta into most bike boxes. They stardard box size that a new V20C comes in is...

    I bought a used Silvio…brand new to Cruzbike….mistake?

    Depending on the model of SIlvio you purchased the seat could be betwen 28 and 40 degress. You can't adjust the seat on any Silvio - but you can make it more upright temporarliy to help you learn by fabricating a wedge and mounting it between the seat and the cushion.

    The Cruzeum -- is Opem

    You are mistaken - if you look close enough you will notice this is a FWD-MMB low-racer (which he NoCom was not). It was built by John Morciglio with design help by myself and Jim Parker. It is an official Cruzbike Prototype and John Morciglio would be happy to make you a new one. And - sorry -...

    Vendetta V 2.0 for sale: asking $2,100

    I would double check this - UPS is nutoriously expensive - We spent that much to ship a small box of Christmas presents in the US. I would plan on $200 to be safe. Usually shipbikes is the best deal

    Cruzbike with 30-degree seat angle?

    This is just a 9-10 long wedge - and it mostly just turns your shoulder higher. I would take a 2" thick piece of hard foam (like at Lowes) and shape it from the bottom of the seat to the top to get the angle you wants. Then wrap it with Gorilla tape and then attach under the seat pad with velco...

    Cruzbike with 30-degree seat angle?

    This is pretty much it - The weight can vary greatly depending on components, wheels, etc. - But figure in the 25-28 lb range. You can accomplish the same thing with a much newer, lighter, and stiffer plaform by purchasing a V20C and putting a 10 degree wedge under the seat pad. then you have...

    How do you store your V20 or other Cruzbike?

    I have used these at times. They work very well. If you hook the hooks to the handlebar on the front and the headrest or back of the seat - you won't have to hand it upside down.
