Anyone know where I can get a long shim to mount 25.4mm bars on a V20? Looks like the shim would need to be 63.5mm long.

There have been a number of threads about glasses, googles, face shields, etc. I had corneal edema in my left eye at the WTTC in Borrego Springs. It was caused by the cold air overnight. Since them I've been trying different goggles and face shields. The one I found works best is Kroops Boogie...

Hello Cruzbikers! Today is the big day! 6-12-24 World Time Trial Championship. I’ll be in the 24h Mens Solo Recumbent category, starting at 5pm PDT. Maria Parker will be in the 12h Women’s Solo Recumbent category starting tomorrow morning at 5am. For those who like to follow ultras, live results...

When Aurélien Bonneteau broke the 1-hour record in 2012, he rode a bike with pedal fairings: https://www.recumbent.news/2012/06/08/one-hour-world-record-56597km/. Has anyone here ever tried this?

Is it just me, or do others find that they get hotter when riding their V20 than when riding a MTB or road bike?

On vacation and hiking thru the North Coast redwoods, look who crossed our path. What are the odds?

Is the 2018 V20 designed for a 135mm freehub, or a 130mm freehub?

The 6-12-24 WTTC in Borrego Springs is a go for Oct 8-10. I'll be in the 12-hour race on Oct 9. As the saying goes, "the hay is in the barn"; been training hard, my fitness is good, and the taper has begun. Plus, the weather forecast has improved (now showing a high temperature of just 85 degF)...

Wife and I are planning a trip to red rock country in late October. She's thinking that a battery would be a good idea so she can get up some bigger hills. She has a S40. Does anyone in California/Nevada/Arizona have a T50e that you would consider trading for her S40 for 10 days?

The Carmel Valley Double Century is a California Triple Crown event hosted by XeDapViet (XDV) Cycling Club. It is a difficult, hilly double that would have been one of the California Triple Crown stage race doubles had it not been for the COVID-19 pandemic. This year the route was an...

Gave our Sofrider to my cousin, who has been looking for a way to get some exercise post-COVID since the local pool has been closed. Here's a short video after she had been on the bike for about 5 minutes. https://youtu.be/cb97Ys-NfbA

I went down on a 90-degree right-hand turn yesterday. I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong, and I'm hoping to get some input from the Tribe. It was a right-hand turn, the road has an old chip-seal surface with no loose gravel, the curve is -4.6% entering, it was sunny and dry, and...

I've entered the 6-hour sprint, and it appears that @Jeffrey Ritter and Marcel Graber have entered the 12-hour race. Anyone else going? For those who have entered this race in the past or have attended, how is the road surface? I'm thinking of running 25c Schwalbe Pro One tubeless tires. Good...

What is the Tribe's experience with running a 650c wheel on the rear of their Vendetta, while keeping the 700c on the front? It would lower my head by ~25mm, which I should think would be more aero.

I'm sure most readers on this thread have noticed dogs stare at them when they are riding their Cruzbike. I even had a golden retriever do a double-take as I went past him while I was riding off the back of a pace line. But how about anti-recumbent dogs? One of my common commute routes takes...

Has anyone ever designed a bike that could be transformed quickly from a recumbent to a DF and vice-versa? The use case would be a hilly century or double-century, where I'd want to have a DF when climbing big hills, but a recumbent for the rest of it. I'd want a bike that could be transformed...

HPV Fun Day was organized again this year by Carole and George Leone. It was May 5 at the Hellyer Velodrome in San Jose, CA. Attendance was lighter than previous years, but it was still fun. Here's a photo of my Vendetta, sporting RojoRacing wheel covers front and back. And here's a photo...

Is it normal for them to get warped? A quick Google search turned up MTB threads about fixing warped rotors with crescent wrenches, hammers, etc. Here's what mine look like: This image shows the inner edge (toward the hub) of the rotor. It doesn't touch the table at any point around the...
