    Zwift Steering

    I think I finally found something that a Cruzbike can't do with a KICKR: https://zwift.com/news/17853-futureworks-steering/ https://support.zwift.com/en_us/steering-SyENwVbuS Maybe a giant lazy susan under the KICKR itself? :eek: o_O -Eric

    Wide 700C tires

    Compass Cycles has a new 55-700 tire. Perhaps Cruzbike can tweak the S40 to accept these? https://www.compasscycle.com/shop/components/tires/700c/compass-700c-x-55-antelope-hill-tc/ I have the Compass Rat Trap Pass 52/54-559 on my velomobile. Really nice ire. Very lightweight and fast. I've not...

    iQ2 Power Meter on Kickstarter

    This should be interesting. I've pledged for an early bird left-right. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1468298434/cycling-power-meter-at-a-breakthrough-price Ray (DCRainmaker) already has a video on these things: Risk is high but cost is low enough to make me wonder but willing to...

    Forum postings seem to be out of order

    After whatever upgrade or maintenance was done last night Jan 8, 2014, the ordering of the forum posts seems to be broken. I've been using Safari on my iPad so I cleared the local cache but that didn't make any difference so I switched to Chrome on the iPad and it was showing the same thing...

    Some uploaded pictures display upside down

    Please see my post about Drupal and the Drupal autorotate feature using embedded EXIF data here: http://cruzbike.com/amateur-aerodynamics#comment-23339 I don't know if this can be resolved with a change to the Drupal settings or if Jim just needs to figure out how to rotate his camera so...

    Must remember to use Black Magic sailing gloves in the rain with twist shifters

    Must remember to put on my Black Magic sailing gloves when getting caught riding the Quest in the bloody rain. The damn twist shifters are exceedingly slippery when wet with wet hands. I couldn't shift when the rain was really dumping on me... The palms of the Black Magic sailing gloves are...

    2013 N24HC

    To echo Jim Parker, " This is the ride report from my FIRST ever 24-hour event. ", except, uh, we didn't quite end up with 24 hours to ride, only 21 hours - more about this further down. Unlike Jim, my goals and achievement were somewhat less lofty - grin. My goal was to complete at...

    Custom mount bracket for Bachetta Brain Box bag

    Here is a quick, down and dirty aluminum rack frame I made to hold my Bachetta Brain Box (BBB). I used this during the 2013 N24HC and it worked very well. Materials cost was roughly $15 to $20. My next plan is to figure out quick release mounts so I can quickly remove and install the rack...

    Comment box edit buttons are not showing up in some versions of Google Chrome

    Just an FYI, I typically use the Dev Channel of Google Chrome and either after a Chrome update or a Cruzbike website update, the edit buttons in the comment controls are still there but not entirely visible. I can hover the mouse over a blank area and the tooltip will tell me what the...

    Vendetta 2.0 and lumbar support

    I had an interesting discovery yesterday - I did 70 miles in 4 hours ride time and averaged 17.5mph. For various reasons this was the first opportunity to put in some distance. Prior to this I had been doing somewhat aggressive 20 to 25 mile rides Around 35 miles I was getting pretty...

    Musical cross wind detector

    I went for a ride this morning with some pretty strong winds (20+ mph and gusting higher) and discovered John has also designed in a musical crosswind detector for the Vendetta. When the wind blows crossways through the pivot cage with the pivot pin holes you get a sound similar to blowing...
