    Need Help Lowering CdA

    At those speeds air resistance and turbulence will be the biggest differences. * no flappy clothing. Everything tight * clean up the air behind you. Rear wheel cover is the biggest option in this pic. If you can rotate those bullhorns forward and still be comfy, that’ll put your arms...

    Post a Pic of your Ride

    I don't see many action shots in here - lots of us solo riders taking pictures of our unladen swallows (European, African, and American). At risk of taking this thread beyond it's purpose I'll post a couple of my favorite action shots. My dad, after a couple months on his T50 - finally getting...

    Post a Pic of your Ride

    INDEED! That's the one and not far from where this photo was taken too. Right on the shores of LakeWashington - along my former commute route.

    Post a Pic of your Ride

    Way back when, I published this pic to WikiPedia as an example of a MBB style recumbent. Hence the “in your face” chainring pose. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recumbent_bicycle This was my first Cruzbike. Silvio 1.0

    V2 help please

    I don’t have one rigged up right now for a current picture but - in this panda shot from ca 2015 you can see the free piece of cable around the bottom bracket and through the hole. There may be other newer solutions but - yeah - you pretty much have it.

    How do I identify my specific model V?

    Touche @castlerobber . I didn’t read through all of your posts but the 1.5 designation was, I believe, a “community” named bike. Where Tor figured out that he could fit the 2.0 boom on a 1.0 frame. Pretty sure by the time that boom was around there was no such “commercial” model. :) Also - that...

    How do I identify my specific model V?

    also - I'm jealous of how aero you get to be on that bike. Maria runs her bikes with a similarly elevated crank on the V bikes - her CDA is amazing because of that. At 5'11" I have to run my crank a ways further (not too bad really) and as a result - I just push more air. Enjoy!

    How do I identify my specific model V?

    posting here is 'the way' and this looks like a combination. That top tube is Vendetta 2.0 - the multi-mount-points at the headset and the size/shape is the giveaway for that. (before they started calling them just V) The earlier top tubes had issues (maintenance, usability, etc) The frame...

    Cruzbike Sighting - Google Maps

    * - I forgot the PSA note on What3Words - if you haven't heard of it before I recommend giving it a look. Great way to get a riding group assembled in the right location. Instead of meeting - "at the water fountain in the big baseball in the ground between diamonds #4 and #5 at the NW end of...
