Donor bike is just some old Donor bike is just some old beater bike frame that was kicking around. Probably a Walmart special.

I tried it on the Baron. Messed up my lower back!

And now ... I just have to figure out how to ride the damn thing! There's snow on the ground here but I'll practice when it gets above freezing.

Video of conversion Also posted as a new Thread http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu-9yhDiqPw&feature=share&list=UUwzNpm5dokD8c2E178bZ7Bw Haven't got the front derailleur yet but it will be a permanent part of the front triangle so it won't add to the time. It was recorded at 1 frame per...

FD I'm still waiting for a 34.9 mm front deraileur from my LBS but I will continue to practice the changeover till it arrives. Doug - You said "Try putting a small kitchen knob on the seat screws. You might need to change the screws to 1/4 inch to match the knob's thread, and make the...

Video A video sounds like a good idea for me as well. Rather than 20 - 60 minutes hour I'll probably use a time lapse to keep it under 3. Does anyone have a Cruzbike conversion video out there?

No screws The bike I convert can't be damaged as it will be reversed at the end of my vacation. I've practicing the conversion and I have the time down to less than an hour. The hose clamps get chewed up after a few uses but they're not that expensive so I'll just bring a couple of extra...

Is there something easier, faster and /or more durable that metal hose clamps to attach the seat? Maybe plastic zip ties or something (?)

Travelling case? Hi Kim Pictures would be good. Aslo the brand / model of luggage you used. Travelling with a kit and one wheel already switched to the long shaft would make conversions go very fast!

26" wheels in a suitcase? Kim - You said "I put a conversion kit CB into a suitcase, with 26inch wheels and flew to South Korea" How did you get a 26" wheel in a suitcase? Even wthout the wheels on the rims are too big to fit in a standard case.

Derailleur? So, can a "shaft derailleur" be converted to one that screws into the hole? Is there a special bolt?

CAn the Derailleur fit in the slot? Thanks! Can a derailleur fit in the adapter slot as well?

Stand Thanks! I turned the wheel to the right as Charles suggested and ... yes ... a regular kick stand works. Hm!

The conversion instructions have one picture of the front drive system from the left side! You can't see how the derailleur is attached. In fact, the instructions don't even say to install one! I assumed it was through the threaded hole but not all derailleurs are set up that way and besides...

So I finished the conversion using old bike parts and frames I had kicking around and road around for a few minutes. MAN! That is one messed up way to ride a bent! I have a Baron and a VRex and I couldn't beleive the difference. I feel like I'm on a unicycle! I'm determined to ride this...

Works for the Baron I've used thecTaon all summer. Love it! Great for an Optima Baron.

Hi All - I have seen the way and need a conversion kit. Anyone out there who has upgraded and needs to unload their kit and / or parts attached please let me know. Additional custom parts like bent seat tubes of special brackets are welcome!

Thanks Jack Any special Thanks Jack Any special tricks or suggestions to speeding things up? I have several frames I can practice with.

How fast can a dual suspension mountain bike be converted to a Cruzbike with their kit? I'm in Atlantic Canada. I'll be flying to Florida next spring. If I took just the kit, bought a Wally world bike, converted it to a Cruzbike, rode it for 10 days, converted it back and donated the bike, it...
