    Affordable "Cruzbike" Short Cranks

    Those Goldix are the same ones I got. But I went with 140mm. My legs are kind of short for my height. But same feeling. It just rotates smoother and spins up so fast! :)

    Cruzbike on Welsh Mountain Roads in Winter - GCN

    So much this! Hank was a trooper and it looked super cool. Remember most GCN viewers are only going to shop for a recumbent if upright bikes become unfeasible for them in some way. They will remember the cool looking, fast recumbent that Hank rode. Especially because there was both honesty and...

    Affordable "Cruzbike" Short Cranks

    I got the Goldix 140mm's about a month ago and find them quite good on my Emeljaye'd T-50. My right knee no longer ever feels sore from pushing-off from a start in too high a gear. Better ergonomics all-around for me. I went with a 44 tooth direct mount chainring, rather than a spider. One day...

    T50 derailleur hanger?

    I think i have bent my hanger, and need to know which one to replace it with. I can bend it back, but just replacing it might be a better idea. Thanks.

    Did you get a shock pump with your Kind RR1? You will need to pump it up more.

    Feed hydraulic brake line through 2024 Q45 frame

    You can also start with a string and a vacuum cleaner. Put the vacuum on the exit hole and feed the string in the origin hole. Then pull the cable through tied to the string.

    Feed hydraulic brake line through 2024 Q45 frame

    Another option would be to to remove the ferrule, thread the tube through the frame, and replace the ferrule.

    Affordable "Cruzbike" Short Cranks

    Here in the US it would be a better bet to go with these on Amazon. Better securing method as well to avoid any shearing issues. Unfortunate name on these ones though. ;)...

    A bout of purism

    The lower "idler" pulley is the lower jockey wheel on a regular derailleur. The upper is for suspension to reduce pedal kickback from the high pivot.

    QX100 with 26/20 inch tilting to one side or the other

    Putting a smaller rear wheel while keeping the 26 inch front wheel will give much worse wheel flop. The bike is built around having same size wheels.

    New 24" wheel set for my Q45.

    It looks like your hubs have removable end caps. This means there is probably through-axle end caps available for those hubs. Check on the hub manufacturer's website.

    QX100 moves to the left

    Try putting your other foot forward when you coast. Do you veer the other way? I find that a forward foot can cause a turn away from it sometimes. Try keeping your feet at a neutral position.

    Add regular tubed tire with sealant - how to do that with deeper dish wheel?

    Deflate the tube and remove it from the tire. Put the sealant in the deflated tube, then reinstall and inflate.

    Why drop bars?

    With drop bars you are also getting road bike brifter compatibility and hidden cables. The latter really not being an option at all with the Q-style bars.

    V20 with 26 inch wheels

    You should consider a stem riser before cutting up your seat. That'll raise your bars up a bit. Something like this...

    Electric Silvio

    Nice. You might want to put some grommets in those holes, or melt around the circumference so it will not unravel. Maybe both for best durability.

    seat angle adj. 2022 Q45; shock creaking

    It look like the bracket has two slots. Put the seat-brace end in the upper slot (where the extra skewer is in the pics), and you may gain another couple degrees.
