    Blue Streak TT - MJ sets fastest ever recumbent time last night on his V20

    MPH please when will America join the world . Holding out for what? . Don’t pay any attention to the 90 mile straight being 146.6 klm. That’s a very old Aussie sign. ;)

    Blue Streak TT - MJ sets fastest ever recumbent time last night on his V20

    Hey Vossi in this day an enlightened age Strava accepts Recumbents but excludes velo mobiles from its kom pantheon. Are we not lucky. What about those koms wind assisted or led out by a peloton Or e assisted. In other words i reckon koms are ahem Merely an indication. QOM s ….however are the...

    Regret buying Thor seat?

    you must be prepared to accept that a new seat may not solve your issue. if it’s just recumbutt maybe you can live with it by simply stopping and walking around. also riding a lot seems to lesson the experience of recumbutt. seats are such a personal experience and manufacturers have more...

    New Adjustable Carbon Fiber Seat and Headrest for the Cruzbike V and S series

    its Great that an option exists that fits the frame and is infinitely adjustable. I’m lucky the original seat is good for me. but comfort is king. Despite the loss of aero the new seat will go a long way to addressing some peoples fit issues. the hp velotechnic hardshell seat is the most...

    Recommendations for ultralight tent

    A one man tent is a little mistake. Buy a two man tent. Little weight penalty and more room. I’ve used everything from super light and expensive that fitted into 25 litres of luggage radical design banana racers.included a tent inflatable mat and pillow plus a quilt and clothes. To mediocre...

    A second V20c build and ride impressions

    Question when removing the front thru axle how stable is the front triangle when fixing a flat. I should take a look at robert’s assembly vid. Certainly the bike is now sexier and bigger width tyres are a big advantage too.

    Too big or too small for Cruzbike? Check the Chart. Take the Poll.

    you could always use some dynamic lifter coupled with platform cycling shoes to be a total hipster. Remember short is fast fast fast. Thumbs up. Seriously I hear you but wow are we so lucky cruzbike exist . Once upon a time I think I seem to remember a total of five chainstay sizes then reduced...

    Tips for Pedaling at Faster Speeds

    consensus seems to be more time on bike. The bike in my avatar was my first bent bike. Even as 1000 klm passed by I was still improving and tweaking.

    Seat cushion questions

    Definitely seat back layback angle is a major factor with recumbutt. However equally important is seat pan shape and to a lesser extent seat back shape. For example a bowled seat pan distributes your weight more evenly as opposed to a mostly flat seat pan that concentrates body weight at a...

    Cruzbike Naming Conventions

    your answer mostly resides in a simple total forum search. Type “history” into the search bar. You’ll see larry o is putting together a museum amongst other interstellar posts. Australia is downunda after all. ;). Missing is the “sigma” John Tolhurst S rwd bike from Larry’s list. But it’s...

    Bag solutions for Vendetta V20?

    scott of the Antarctic great movie. :) rocky a bit crappy movie. Prefer the hurricane or raging bull for a boxing movie. ;) zwift etc has its place but for mine it’s a definite second place. I have not tried zwift racing which I would imagine racing and camaraderie sharpens the experience...

As we were not “racing” the race director was happy with domes bike. the only other comment I would make is that we were all very comfortable and got off our bikes in good condition...

    Streetwork 12+12 ,Dec 4, (Sydney, NSW, Australia)

    Thanks frito Though we were welcome which was really great we did not qualify for a podium even if we had of finished in the overall places. There were 36 teams I think. Good news though we were the first recumbent team. ;). And the course is far from flat. starting at the back of the field...
