    Anyone fitted a TRP Spyke disk brake on the front of a Sofrider v3?

    I'm considering fitting a TRP Spyke disk brake on the front of my Sofrider, and I'm trying to figure out if I need to order a front or rear, and what additional adapters may be required . I see there are some earlier threads about fitting disk brakes on Sofriders, but they're for Avid brakes and...

    S40 test ride in the San Francisco/Bay area?

    Are there any S40 owners in the SF Bay Area that might be willing to let me test ride (or at least sit on) their S40? (I might also be interested in Q45 or T50 also, if you have those). I have a Sofrider that I like (a lot!) I considering upgrading, but am uncertain about the seat size of the...

    T50 test ride in the SF Bay Area?

    Are there any T50 owners in the San Francisco Bay Area who might be comfortable letting me test ride their pride and joy? Or at least sit on it to try the fit? I have a Sofrider that I've tweaked to fit me. I'm really tempted by the T50 since it seems like such a great platform for modding, and...

    Any tall T50 riders out there?

    From an exchange with Cruzbike support, it sounds like I'm too tall for the T50 to be a good choice for me. But I love tinkering, and all the photos people are posting of their T50 builds are so inspiring! So I'm hoping that maybe another tall person has already tried it, and can give me the...

    Sofrider V3 mods & touring

    I've been enjoying my Sofrider V3 a lot, and thought I'd list my mods in one place in case the ideas might be useful to others. Sugino triple crankset (26/36/46) w. 165 mm cranks. I thought the stock crankset was geared too high and really wanted a triple. As I became more used to the MBB...

    Touring vs. racks vs. suspension

    I'm getting more miles on the bike now - 40-50/week just from commuting, plus some longer weekend rides. Starting to feel pretty confident on the bike, and getting a feel for what works for me, what I want to change. I don't know what to do about rack and suspension - hoping your accumulated...

    Front derailleur adjustment for tall riders

    I can't be the first tall rider to have this problem, but I can't seem to find posts related to it either (sorry if my search mojo failed!) I'm 6'4" with long legs, and I have the TFT on my Sofrider extended a long way (around the 10 mark, but it looks like it could extend even further...

    http://cruzbike.com/goodbye-cruzbike-kit-sniffle-sniffle Anyone else see this yet? Clearly if I plan to build one, I need to get a move on and sell a bike to make room...

    Weight of conversion kit?

    The conversion kit page does not list a weight for the kit: http://cruzbike.com/conversion-kit and although I've searched this forum I can't seem to find a clear answer. Has anyone weighed the kit? From what I've seen, the conversion will result in a very heavy bike (40 lbs not...

    Unsuspended conversion vs. V2/K vs. Sofrider?

    Long time lurker, first time poster as they say.. I test rode a Quest 26, Quest 20, Sofrider and Vendetta at Nanda's Spincyclz a few months ago, and have been mulling it over since. Still haven't sold my other recumbent, but that hasn't stopped me from thinking about Cruzbikes [wink]...
