HI, I saw Britdave in Alcester has a cruzbike on the world map. I would love to get in contact as I have looked many times at the web site but would like to try first before taking the plunge and getting a conversion kit. Are you out there. Don't know what frappr is to contact direct. I'm near...

I have recently put my Heinzmann 250W motor into a rear wheel of my cruzbike conversion. A cheap frame and I was able to use the existing axle with same spacers into the 135mm forks by standing on them with the bike laid on the ground. I have bolted the control unit to the rear of the seat and...

Not going to well and I'm beginning to think I shall abandon the whole project. I risked going down the hill a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't get back up without skidding! It's steep. I had to get off and walk which I never have to do on my other bike. Last weekend I swapped the back wheel...

Having successfully changed the forks the trail has now increased to about 70 mm. I went out for my 2nd ride yesterday. There is a lot more vibration without front suspension but it is definitely easier to control. Today a new set of handlebars arrived: alloy north road which feel more...

Thanks for your comments Doug. Unfortunately I can't move the wheel any further back as the tyre fouls the top of the forks. I've done a lot of thinking, looking and I'm now half way through replacing the forks with my 700c ones. It looks like this will give me a lot more trail and more...

Thanks Doug, although my engineering is hardly sophisticated. If you look carefully you'll notice that I cut out the top tube and in order to get a horizontal top tube I spent considerable time whittling a section of ash branch and connecting it with hose clamps! I reckon I won't bust the frame...

Frustration as I waited for parts and for the snow to melt but at last it's ready for a first outing. more problems: 1. I am using a 1" quill style adjustable stem to try out different riding positions. Would I be better off with the bars closer to me? 2. The quill fitting is not really the...

Thanks. I have managed to solve one problem so the sleeve sounds like the answer. Another visit to the bike shop but we had 8inches of snow yesterday and being the UK that means waiting or walking! Another question. What size Allen key do you need to tighten the bushes in the swivel beside the...

Hi, This is my first post having finally taken the plunge and ordered a kit which came yesterday. Donor bike only ?5 off e-bay and heavy steel and cheap components but good to try it out and I'm going to use all the new components off my road bike which I hardly ever use as uncomfortable. I...

I'm just starting out on a Cruzbike conversion but I currently have two electric assist bikes: 1st up is a Heinzmann kit on a rather heavy Dawes Street Vision hybrid bike of mid eighties vintage. I live at the top of a big hill and I got this after seeing someone effortlessly sail up our main...
