    Kickstand

    My 2-legged kickstand Hi I have had 2 different 2-legged kickstands on my Cruzbike Freerider. First was a low-weight alu that was not quite tall enough, and not as sturdy as the one I have now. It was a Hebie http://www.hebie.de/bipod-stand-690T.hebie690t.0.html?&L=1 alt="Hebie...

    does arm cardio training help?

    Hi My local gym has a vertical machine that looks like it trains the arms like cross country skiing. I wonder if it would help my cruzbiking and make me faster if I start training on it? JonB

    advice needed--which clipless pedal to use

    how to firmly attach handlebar on smaller tube?

    Hi how to firmly attach handlebar on smaller tube? The telescopic front tube does not have a constant diameter. It is larger near the bottom bracket than at the end where they slide into each other and where the clamp is. This means that the arm that holds the handlebar will not attach at all...

    front wheel stabilizer

    Has anyone tried a front wheel stabilizer on a sofrider or freerider, or maybe a conversion? http://www.hebie.de/stabilizer-696-made-of-elastom.hebie6950.0.html?&L=1 I was thinking it might make the bike easier to park?

    Tip: front tube clamp turn saves your seat edge rubber

    Hi I had some trouble with the rubber at the edge of the seat always comming off just where the telescopic front tube hits the seat when parked. It turned out it was the clamp, and that simply turning it will prevent the rubber from slipping off.

    future lighter frame design?

    Hi I was browsing 29 MTB's because i love the big tires. I know the cruzbike kit cant support a 29" wheel, so it quickly turned into... what if the frame design could be made lighter? Or make it easier to mount a normal rack at the bike. I found one frame i want to use as an example, because...

    Technical downhill singletrack!

    I know, but at least I do not duplicate the questions. I use bentrideronline to tap into Richards experience. I can see the point for that, I have Rohloff on mine. I am thinking of toying with Schlumpf belt drive system to avoid getting my pants dirty and to have a clean "chain" which...

    Yeah, looking really good. Thinking about how much the weight would be if one did the same frame in Carbon.

    Ego Boost

    Re: Re:You Are Not the Only One. I do not write about my Mango experiences, and right now it is not even in my hands any more. It is in for repair (I scratched it), lower gearing and new brakes (that hopefully work). I MISS it, and the waiting time has been bad, bad. + 5 kilo :-( I have too...

    Technical downhill singletrack!

    Thanks for your report. I have been thinking about converting my Freerider to off-road now that I got a Mango velomobile for commuting and road cycling. Which tires do you use? how wide are they?

    New tires on 559?

    Did you run it with the wrong pressure? I like Schwalbe marathon plus, no flats.

    IGH and Quest 559 don't mix, is that right(?)

    I have done 1 experimentation, Rohloff. I use the Rohloff speedbone mounted to the diskbrake eyelets, and it works fine. http://www.rohloff.de/en/products/speedhub/speedbone/index.html
