    Bag solutions for Vendetta V20?

    I have a couple of Thor seats. They are too wide for the Bacchetta bag. I also reached out to Dana at Bent Up Cycles. His bag is also not wide enough. Radical Designs Wide Solo Aroe bag is the only one I still need to research. Anybody else with a Thor seat on a V20 used this bag? Alan

    New V20, New to Cruzbike

    Just some size feedback. I too have neck issues and just finished the install of a Thor XL Sport G on my V20 and a XL Easy GS on my S40. I ordered with the thicker pad. I'm 6'-1" and kinda have a long torso, so I went with the XL. Both are almost too large. I added a .2" pad under the seat pad...

    Water Bottle Loss Prevention

    Added to a great idea above. There was too much room between the screws and my bottles. I used a couple of 3/4" PVC pipe caps and a short section of pipe. I did have to shorten the caps a bit to get them to work with the screws I had. Alan

    New S40: riding on the trainer vs on the road - seat issue?

    Not sure of your size, but I'm 6'-1", 225 lbs. I had similar issue with S40 seat after about an hour or so on the road. I found extending the seat bottom as far forward as the slots would allow (and putting a small rubber bumper on the underside of seat to keep it from rubbing the frame) has...

    Cruzbike Sighting In Huntsville AL

    As I was headed home from work yesterday (1/11/18), I saw a Cruzbike Vendetta or S series on the back of a car turning up County Line Road. I know Trapdoor2 lives in Huntsville. This was the only other Cruzbike I have ever seen in the Huntsville area. Would love to get together for a ride...

    Finally rode a century

    Congratulations. Thanks for the inspiration. A century is still on my bucket list. Still getting use to my S40. I'm the guy you let ride your Quest at the Ridesouth rally a few years ago. Alan

    S40- Wow!

    I have an S40. I routed the brake cable out the right side of the seat, then over to the caliper on the left side. I added some spacers between the cages and the seat to keep them from interfering with the frame and the lip on the seat. I too am new to Cruzbike and learning to ride the S40 has...

    Need comparison for a newbie - Bacchetta G26 v S30/40

    I have a Giro 26 ATT (with EuroMesh seat and ADEM neckrest) and just built an S40 (also my first Cruzbike). - Cruzbike learning curve - a little steeper. I have about 75-100 miles on mine and I'm doing pretty well, but still not comfortable pedaling hard on a downhill in high gear above about...

    Newbie S40 Build Details

    I think I have better components than the stock build (some two levels better). Wheels were bought directly from Velocity. Every thing else came from Amazon. I have about $4300 total invested. It took about 3 relaxed evenings to build and tune. Alan
