    Cruzbike arms not centred on BB

    So I have just noticed where the Cruzbike arms clamp on to the bottom bracket it is but evenly centred. It seems my left pedal is rubbing on the arm instead of spinning on the BB. See photos here I have tried to loosen the bolts and move it but it won't budge...

    Anybody placing an order to (South) Australia need Perez Clamps

    If anybody is planning on placing an order to Australia, particularly South Australia any time soon; I would be interested in combining shipping. I am after the Parez clamps however shipping on this costs more than the product. Cheers Barry

    Bottom Bracket options

    Hi Tribe, So I have long lusted after a bottom bracket upgrade from my Shimano Ultegra BB and I know the Enduro XD-15 were often talked about on this forum; however after a discussion with another Cruzbiker, on facebook I was directed to Hambini and his opinion on ceramic bearings. The issue...

    Where did Bazzawill go

    Hey Tribe, Just before I selfishly post a question, I thought it best to let you know why have not been on here for over a year I think. This is due to 2 reasons: 1. My twin boys are taking more of my time (I do TRY to get out and ride once a week) and I do keep somewhat up to date on bike stuff...

    IS2000 to flat disc brake mount???

    So it looks like I done stuffed up. I got excited by the new hotness namely a ultegra brifter and brake combo only to find the new flat mount standard does not seem compatible with the IS2000 / post mount adapter. I am madly trying to find surely someone has come up with an IS2000 to flat mount...

    Midsole conversion with power meter pedals

    Can anybody show me a midsole conversion with power meter pedals, not that a power meter is in my near future but maybe with IQsquare going pedal based it could be possible, one day. They will have MTB pedals but would like to see road conversion if people have done it. Cheers.

    Kinetic energy recovery system (speculation)

    After watching GCN's coverage of the Taipei bike show tech from a mad ebike got me speculating if part of it could be used on a commuter to address my biggest pet peeve when doing so. TRAFFIC LIGHTS:mad: So my idea involves an electric motor hooked up to a capacitor to (possibly) replace the...

    TRP Hy Rd Rotor to thick

    So I have always had an issue centering my rear disc brake but never had a problem with the front. This may have got worse since changing the pads to TruckerCo Metalic pads. It got to the point where I removed the rotor from my wheel and went for a test ride and noticed a significant reduction...

    Keep your build details up to date

    So we all have various posts of when we built our bike and when we upgrade components but it can be a bit messy to keep track of so I thought it might be nice to have one thread with up to date details of everyone's build details. You can then edit the post when you upgrade. I will start...

    Riding in the cold (not really) poll

    So I decided to create a poll for a bit of fun. I finally have the opportunity to head out as the boys are in childcare and I am on holidays. It is winter here in Australia, which means it's not really cold for most of you but cold enough for me (13C with a maximum of 15C). I thought I would...

    Pedal for Prems - Adelaide North

    I'm gearing up and making a difference by fundraising for Walk With Wings to support Babies born prematurely. This organisation is one that's close to my heart. Phoenix was born too early and shone to brightly for this world but he always rides with me (you can see on the image below the...

    This day in history "When I was learning to ride my V"

    This quote came up in my facebook feed from when I was learning to ride my V "So I was getting worried the training phase of my new bike was going on to long. I just couldn't get faster than my old bike. Turns out my GPS was set to mph stupid Americans :p" I still have to translate when...

    Rear derailleur pulleys

    I noticed my top derailleur pulleys is stiff and needs replaced on my ultegra RD-6700. The replacement pulley is Y5X998150 $24au But it will accept the dura ace Shimano Rd-7900 T / G Pulley Set Y5X098140 ~$50au And then their are after market ones also. Previously I would have easily gone...

    Check out this guy fixing a flat

    https://www.facebook.com/policefiregames/videos/10155014850985335/ I would suggest he go tubeless but he may have difficulty tightening the valve nut and adding sealant.

    Ventisit pad and clothing (Lycra) wear

    I have noticed my cycling clothing is wearing as I slide in and out of the V to start and stop, more so when I commute and have to stop more in traffic / evil red lights. It is most noticable in my shorts I use cheap non padded Lycra shorts (one has worn through which then ripped to large holes...

    Where does the motivation go when commuting

    I have just started commuting to work which is great as it gives me much more time on the bike than it did before however I find my motivation to ride hard wanes and is highly variable. This is understandable as I am going from riding 40-80km every 1 to 2 weeks to 2x 20km per day. Also the rides...

    Awesome commuter suit bag Cruzbike compatible

    So I purchased the Henty Wingman back when I had a DF and commuted to work. When I upgraded to the Vendetta I thought I could not use it on the bike (I didn't need to at the time) but kept it as it can be useful to ferry clothes to my locker at work or for plane travel etc. I am starting a new...
