Eric, Checkout how I mounted Eric, Checkout how I mounted my Bent-Up Aerobag in this video: ?https://www.dropbox.com/s/826wkko57s...2014.49.45.mp4 I made two little internal frame bars out of flat stock 1" wide aluminum and then used electrical clamps (stainless steel band with rubber...

I can vouch for the favorable I can vouch for the favorable move from dropbars to bullhorns on my V. I started with dropbars, halfway thru last season switched to bullhorns and really like them a lot better. I'm not sure what I would have thought of the bullhorns when first learning to...

Ok, so we've seen the new pic Ok, so we've seen the new pic on FB. Beautiful! Questions about the new design: 1. Has anything changed around the BB and rear chainstay clamps to provide more clearance for a smaller BCD inner ring? 2. Regarding the steering...

Hey! I just noticed, that Hey! I just noticed, that tire looks mighty big. Is that a 26" wheel??

I have mine mounted like this I have mine mounted like this on my Vendetta. It has worked well.

I log-in everyday to see if the V 2.0 has been announced. But alas, nothing. How long Mr T? How long? ;-)

David,    The thing about David, The thing about the Vendetta is that it needs the BB to have outer BB bearing cups for the chainstays to clamp onto. Does Schlumpf have outer BB cups?

Jim, thanks for the advice. Jim, thanks for the advice. I'll keep practicing down to 5mph. Might have to give up eating cookies at the controle points. :-) And get myself a PowerTap!

Mick, I agree to a point. But Mick, I agree to a point. But actually the V has turned out better than I thought for rando rides. I'm very comfortable for the long haul, and actually I've thought the V might be a more comfortable bike for me on long hauls because it spreads my weight out on my...

Randy, Re: slow speed Randy, Re: slow speed climbing. Yeah, I realize it's practice practice practice. However, I think I reach that point where I can't keep my cadence RPM high enough and the slow mashing starts pulling the steering all over. I find that if I concentrate really hard it's...

Randy, Yeah, I realize the Randy, Yeah, I realize the Silvio would be a step down. But I think it's more a step down like moving from a Lamborghini to a more practical Mercedes AMG performance sedan. :-) I'm going to try the Shimano Ultegra triple. Hopefully the 30t vs 34t inner will...

Charles, AFAIK, the smallest Charles, AFAIK, the smallest is a 30t via the Shimano Ultegra/Dura-Ace 130/92 BCD triple cranksets. And with that, the 30t inner ring has tabs that hang down below the bolt holes to prevent chain-suck if it were to derail around the BB. To use with the Vendetta...

Excellent!    Thanks for Excellent! Thanks for the confirmation.

Hi! To those that have experience with both Silvio and Vendetta, how much slower is the Silvio when climbing normal hills, rollers, etc? I ride a Vendetta now with a compact double and 11-36 rear cassette. But I'm finding that there are still some really big long (small mountain-like)...

Hi! I can't seem to find this answer anywhere. Can a Silvio accept a standard 130/74 BCD triple crankset? Note that the Ultegra triple that Cruzbike sells is a 130/92 BCD (the inner granny has a bigger BCD, and thus doesn't go any lower than 30t). But I want to be able to put...

I would love to see a cargo I would love to see a cargo bike cruzbike. I currently ride a RANS HammerTruck (courtesy of Mr. Holz) for my around-town-car-replacement. It's a truly awesome machine. But I find myself wishing for a cruzbike version so that I could double-up on the cruzbike...

Bamboo, I would say that I Bamboo, I would say that I agree with your view within the context of just a short period with the bike. But the longer you ride, the better the experience gets. I too have been an experienced recumbent rider. I too have never ridden a Cruzbike before...

Tom, My only guess would be Tom, My only guess would be to contact a recumbent bike shop that deals with 10sp drivetrains, some place like bentupcycles.com. They might buy their 10sp chain by the spool and be able to sell you a custom length. I personally just went with two standard...

I'm finding that as I dial-in I'm finding that as I dial-in the correct leg extension -- like John, it seems to be out there farther than I think -- I find that my pedal steer is being reduced. I think it might be because if the boom is not extended enough, there is still power in my pedal...

Thanks John. Next time I run Thanks John. Next time I run into a wasp, I'll tell it that this bike was not designed to deal with it and could it please fly away. :-) This incident also brought to light that I need to invest in some of these fancy "recumbent shorts" that have the elastic...
