I am off to a slow start with my conversion. The problem I am currently stuck on is that the front forks of my donor bike do not accommodate the triangle...
Hi - Have a look in this ohoto album, http://sports.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Cruzbike/photos/browse/d08e and if you would, tell me how your fork differs at...
Doug, The pictures show exactly the issue I am facing. And my first thought was to do exactly what is shown. But the local bike shop guys disagreed with this...
Hi Mark, Rich Tate (flcruzbiker) put that bike together and as I remember, it turned out pretty nicely. We had a fair amount of discussion on this approach...
Hiya, I have another donor to build with a fork interference problem. After some consideration I did much the same as shown in photos. My experience as a...
Hi Everyone, I am a newbie on this site and I am in the market for a new recumbent. My last one, a LWB Recumboni (a Canadian bike), was mangled by a little old...
... I have fenders on my Freerider. They work okay. The back fender is really long and nothing hits me from that. The front fender could be better. When i ride...
Chris, I have Planet Bike 35mm wide fenders on my softrider. They work fine in light rain and on wet roads, keeping me and bike clean. I haven't tried hard...
Hi Jon, Thanks for your comments. Your pics does show that the the front fender could be longer in the front and so your idea of using 2 fenders overlaping...
... I find the freeriders low gear range adequate, i cant slower or i loose my balance. The top range can be a little higher. The spacing is fine. I was...
Hi Chris- A Cruzbike is a far cry from a Recumboni! I can't say for sure that it'd work for you, but I think some mods I made to my Sofrider might interest...
Hi Keith, Your bike looks very cool!! I like the yellow wide fenders...very eye-catching!! I got the Recumboni for my cross-Canada ride and it was perfect for...
Hi chris, I have been reading the emails and decided to reply.  I purchased a freerider last fall and because I live in the okanagan valley the gearing just...
... Ouch. I'm sorry to hear that. I got my Sofrider a month after having my RANS Rocket destroyed in a collision with a car. Some stupid little teenage girl...
Giving this thread a bump but also voicing my opinion on a feature that needs to be turned on IMO. Last I looked, when one post a new or responds to a thread,...

My latest dilemma: can't figure out what to do with the "Ahead Tensioning Bolt Extension" (part number 5 in the Parts Group C of the CruzBike kit). According...
Hi, I live in Norway and we do get our share of rain. Fenders: Yes they give good protection. I have made my frontfender a bit longer, or u can use a rearwheel...
I have less than 20 miles on my bike that I built with a Mongoose 26" and need someone to buy it!! My knee just won't rehab and I have to go a different...
... Jerry, I live in Colorado and I'm interested in buying your cruzbike. Please send me some pictures and tell me all about it, what components it has, etc....
I'm fitting a stem to the cruzbike kit steerer tube. The stem from the trek y-26 bike doesn't fit the tube and neither does (another) 1 1/8" threadless stem I...
Hi, These stems are very often kinda tight. The spec outer diameter of the stem tube is 28.6mm, a layer of paint can get this out to close to 29mm. The stem...
