I think you eventually get used to them. I just takes more upper body strength, control, and especially awareness. Nothing like a full disc in the front. I rode Sebring 24 back 2015 with 2 full discs - that was tiring both mentally and physically

If you HR was that low, then you obviously were not able (for whatever reason) to go to you maximum HR. Not at max HR, then probably not at max power output either. I suspect you are probably pretty close to 300 FTP. Almost a year ago, I briefly hired a coach. He asked me what I thought my FTP...

Sorry, for some reason I was thinking watts and not HR. Yeah - your young you can still do that! I think my max last year for 4-hours was a 165bpm average - That was on my sub-4 hour Century record attempt - but then again I'm 56 years old too - not a babe like you Jason!

Yeah - but then .... you ... slow down .... :eek: .... most of us hate to slow down whilst on our Cruzbike, but even I understand it is a necessary evil at times!

Jason, I wouldn't beat myself up over it. This is a good result and at least a minimum FTP number to start with on your V. I still think it is harder to make the power laying back at 20 degrees that upright on the DF. But I also think if you work at it long enough you can train your leg muscles...

David, Go idea, but I also fear the real problem is that is will "slip" while riding (probably cornering) and then you are on the ground. :( I have a found another Chinese make of Carbon Fiber rims/wheels that now has the true-tubeless profile: with R38 PowerRay CF hub and Sapin Sookes - $605...

Believe me, it is only entertaining to everyone else - for some reason especially to the person that has to help you change your dressings all the time! Looking forward to your feedback!

Nice ride report and story - I'm sure we'll here more great ones from you come summer time! Now you need to change you screenname from "brokemyback" - to - "mysilviorocks", or something similar! :p

Come on Jon - tell me you did not push the play button just to see what would happen.... ;) haha

Ratz...... :p

Never had that problem Jon, but I do also "tape" the tube below my waste, so maybe most of it drains out automatically. I'll tell you the worst problem is getting the little bugger off since it has adhesive on it. Usually takes a good 15 minutes in the shower or tube and is slightly (ok - not so...

David, I bought my original 80mm CF wheels (with Cruzbike Vendetta logos) from light bicycle about 18 months ago. They where great and fast. Too bad I included them in the trade of my V2.2 for the M1 Anyway - I emailed light-bicycle about the rims I bought and asked them if they were tubeless...

I have not. I used SRAM rival cranks because I need 140mm length. I don't think I can without investing a bunch of money to buy and modify the CF crankset.

And so - the "Cruzbike force" is passed on! - Way to go Ratz and Joe

I took off my FD a whilw time ago and only ride on the large chain ring of 52t. I did that for my Century record last Oct just to be more aero and just never put it back on. Even here in the mountains, I seem to be able to ride most everything up to short 8% grades on my 11x32, but I do notice...

I just measured my left and right cranks to the boom, and I am only off by less than 0.03" But - I do have my BB offset 0.1" to the crank side. Which means, if I centered the BB in the clamps I would also be off 0.2" - but it would be my left side that would have the larger distance from the...

It not just the color, as each color that is out there looks great and we each have our preference. But to me the BOOM is what gives the V2 it presence: Polished aluminum slider - slipped into the even larger colored boom with "CRUZBIKE" yelling out from it. The red and gray V20's would also...

Agreed - The are so beautiful - they will never go out of style - Just like an original 911 Porsche!

OD = .3125" = 5/16" ID = .184n" ~ 3/16"

Sweet photo of all those Cruzbikes - I think that qualifies for a "gang"!
