Rocker plates mimic the side to side motion of a diamond frame bike. I wanted to do the same for the movement of my S40, so I installed a large lazy-Susan under a platform that holds my trainer It mimics the back and forth movement of the front of the bike fairly well.

I ordered a stac zero halcyon this Sunday. It arrived today. I've been considering getting one for awhile.This weekend when I went to there site I saw they are offering the Halcyon at half price because they have been bought out by another company. I decided to pull the trigger. $374.99 plus...

This last Saturday the Parkers and Larry were racing in the RAAM Texas Challenge near San Antonio. I considered participating in the event as it's fairly close to Austin, but was a bit intimidated by the distance. I've never rode more than a century and wasn't sure how far I could ride...

As I was riding today a car pulled into the bike lane a ways in front of me, as I entered the regular lane to go around him the gentleman who had got out of his car entered the street and waved me over. I thought maybe I had dropped something or he really really wanted to ask about the bike. He...

I have been looking for a way to get rid of the recumbent butt/ hip joint issue I have on long rides. Last week I was considering a Thor seat and the forum gave me lots of info about them. I decided to try some other things first. This weekend I built a leather suspension saddle/seat for my...

The only issue I've continued to have riding the S40 is the recumbent butt i get when riding long rides. I'm wondering if any one has seen this go away with the configuration of the Thor seats? and if yes which one?

I rode my S40 in the Livestrong challenge century ride in Austin Tx, this last Sunday ( the 21st). 6 hours 40 minutes total time and 6 hrs 10 minutes ride time. I was pleased with the ride; it was the fastest I've rode a century before. The first 60 miles I maintained a 17.5 mph average but i...

a month or so ago i noticed that the headset was loose. I tightened it a few times but it was still getting loose.so took it apart cleaned everything and re-greased the bearing. after resetting it all it took a couple of tries to get it tight enough, but now its a little loose again. What...

On my commute home yesterday I rode a few extra miles. I'd been working inside all day and not paying attention to the temperature. I knew it was hot when I left for home and was drinking water as I rode but felt light headed after I got done, which was strange after just 10 miles even if I had...

I'm considering going and wondered if anyone might be interested in carpooling?

Just curious to know if the front triangle on the S40 is the same as the V? if you had a V20 frame could you swap over your parts from a S40?

I open up my ventisit and added a little more cushion. I used the stock cruzbike pad to add to the seat and make a lumbar support. Opening it up wasn't hard though it always feels weird to cut open something like this, but it was just zip ties that had to be cut. It took about 5 trys to get the...

Does anyone have experience using the thicker ventisit pad after using the normal one? Before I bought the ventisit pad I was having issues with pressure pain in my left hip joint, which the ventisit happly cured. Now it seems maybe the pad has broken in a bit and compressed some because...

Has anyone used the bike lock featured on the cruzbike site on an S40 with any regularity? I'm considering buying one but wonder how versatile it is to use in varying situations? Right now I still carry a kryptonite chain when I need a lock.

Today while turning a corner I lost traction and crashed. Sprained my ankle as my shoe unclipped while the pedal dug into the street and my foot ended up behind under the seat. It bent the outer 50 tooth chainring. It turns out the front tire was flat with a piece of wire in it. I believe it...

Today I made it up the first extremely steep hill that I've managed to climb with falling over, which I did several times last week. After that experience I reconsidered how I had the bike set up and moved my handle bars so that my arms are almost straight. This was a great improvement and...

A leather bag for my hydration pack placed for easy access while riding Hose is held on magnetically and will reattach after drinking without looking. I'm making one for the other side as well.

I haven't gotten back into taking long ride since switching to the S40 so I decided to change that and see how i felt. I think i going to look for some better inserts for my shoes because numbness in the feet was my only issue other than being a little out of shape maybe. I don't often record...

While there are a few things I am still trying to master like hand's free riding or climbing extreme inclines, i no longer go riding on a cruzbike I now just go riding.....on my bike All aspects of riding my S40 have now become normal and I'm no longer thinking about balance or pulling with...

A few things I have done recently improved my riding My old shoes were pretty worn and where not suited for clipping in well at the angle of the S40. The new pair makes it much easier to start from a stop because they slide in so well to the cleats. The other benefit that i didn't expect...
