    Police report error after motor vehicle collision

    Cyclists, The police report for a recent collision says I caused the collision and the motorist's insurance agents are acting accordingly. Does anyone have experience with something like this? I can't get lawyer representation as long as the police report stands. I've sent a letter to the...

    Bottom bracket clamp bolts come loose

    I've got a mid-2015 S30. The BB clamps are tightened with two bolts. If I tightened the bolts enough to prevent lateral BB movement but not so much as to deform and deteriorate my BB then the bolts come loose after a few minutes of pedaling. I don't want to put thread lock on the bolts since I...

    How to be treated like a human being by truck drivers

    GREAT IDEA FROM THE PORTLAND RETREAT: This may save your life and probably make rural rides less infuriating. Put a small (maybe 6x9 inch) American flag on the back of your bike or fly one as your Cruzbike's flag. Trucker respect attained. Prepare to be treated like a human being.

    How to precisely adjust boom position

    For weeks tried adjusting my book position on the side of the road. Many times I'd lose hold of the boom and it would slip. I'd lose track of where I used to have the boom so I'd have to guess where it used to be. Solution: place a square of electrical tape next to each boom clamp. Before each...

    This has a lot of useful information for being powerful and feeling good: The Endurance Athlete's Guide to Success To be clear, I absolutely do not endorse the wasteful, inefficient, refined, brand name goods they pedal. Their messages and strategies work very well, though. Many of the...

    S30 compatible cranksets

    I've got two MegaExo BB-6200 bottom brackets that came with my FSA Energy compact cranksets so I'd like to use those. What are some compatible cranksets? Obvoiusly the FSA energy compact crankset, but they only make crank lengths down to 165 mm. I'd love to find a 160 mm crankset. Any ideas...

    Vendetta versus Silvio on less-than-ideal road surfaces

    A question for those of you who have ridden both: How do the riding experiences of the V and S compare on rough road surface? I'm not talking about gravel, but rough roads and the occasional pothole. I ask because I have a Silvio and can use your answer to assess the possibility of getting a...

    Add 'My Bike' picture to user profile pop-up

    I'd love to see a 'My Bike' photo quickly accessible for each account. True, one can use the avatar photo for this but the resolution is very low. The pop-up that appears when you click on a user would be an awesome place to have a picture of your bike below your avatar.

    Will the S30's BB frame not accept 30mm spindle setups?

    The S30's chainstay clamps (the part that clamps around the external BB cartridges) will only with with 24 mm spindle setups, right? It seems that a 30 mm spindle would require external bearings too wide to fit in the S30's chainstay clamps. So we're stuck using 24 mm setups then, yea...

    Curved boom on S30 creaking

    I'm getting severe creaking while pedaling. I recently got into an accident and also replaced the old slider boom with the new curved boom. It sounds like the creaking is coming from the upper headset/curved boom clamp area. Has anyone else had creaking issues with the new curved boom? Elliot

    T-bone

    Last Friday a motorist drove his sedan across the highway I was riding on. He didn't just cross normally; he squealed from the stop sign as if he was trying to put his metal box in my path. I slammed into the side of his car then tumbled down the highway. I've been through many falls and...
