Jack and I have been talking for some time about a SoCal get together for Cruzbikes. Actually, we would welcome anybody that wanted to come and have a look at...
I think that's a great idea. It's going to be a little hard for me because I will be out of town every other weekend between September 5 and the beginning...
I took delivery of my first Cruzbike, a Sofrider v2, a little over ten months ago and just last week passed 2500 miles on it. Overall, I have to say it's an...
Sounds great! Too bad I am 2000 miles away! I would be a real Cruzbike show of force and fun because of the variety. Let's hope its materializes! Gabriel...
Hi, My advice for starting in slope and less than ideal surfaces is to start in a heavier shift. If you start at your lower gear, too much power will go to the...
I'd be interested in coming too. Just depends on schedule. weekend around the 16th I'm out of town. Reid Shufer _____ From: Cruzbike@yahoogroups.com...
My parents lived in northern Santa Ana, CA. I grew up there, and when I went later to visit (I live in Colorado now), I'd ride a mile over to the Santa Ana...
... Yup, that's one approach. The tradeoff is that it places more stress on your knees, which are the one component you can't easily replace. ;-) Greg...
Hi, Yeah, but I am not talking about something drastic, but maybe the second or third rear ring. The alternative to that would be knobbies , or walking the...

What I like to do is start at Yorba Regional Park in Yorba Linda. It's about a 45 mile round trip. The reason it's advantageous to start inland is to be...
... Oh, I never start in lower than the second gear (with large chainring); I've used the lowest gear only once, while climbing some moderately serious grades...

OK, I'm going to say October 4th. The start will be at the ball diamonds on the west end of Yorba Regional Park. We will meet and greet at 8:00 AM with time...
Well, my GF and I have tickets to fly to Portland that weekend. So let me know when you do it again. No guarantee I could have made it anyway. I'm about...
Hi group, It's been almost two weeks since I finished my Cruzbike conversion. Its picture is on the web site for Yahoo groups. I've been practicing every few...
John, First off, don't be so sure you won't be able to. Can't never could do anything but cry because he couldn't. Second, start in the lowest gear possible,...
... Thanks! (Much less well in Norwegian, I'm afraid. ;-) ) ... The V1 doesn't have the front derailleur and corresponding shift cables, though, does it? I...
... Other than the obvious "downshift before you stop," the main trick seems to be the same as that for making smooth starts on level ground: start off with...
John, I got my Silvio late in January of this year, so I've been riding it a little over seven months now--several of which were still winter. If I still had...
Hi, I am new to this group. I am planning to build a Cruze FWD bike using my slightly old hybrid bike. One problem I found was the steering tube diameter. Mine...
Hi, Besides starting off in low gear, and assuming you are using clipless pedals, you can engage one foot and after the initial push, continue on a push/pull...
This is very basic, so forgive me if it sounds too obvious. Place one foot on the ground to balance yourself and then position the pedal for the other foot at...
