This post collects three features that would be attractive additions to the cool and unique Cruzbike design. 1. With disc brakes minor out-of-true wheel issues...
Hi Tom, Â Thanks for the thoughts. Â This thread may answer some of your points directly: Â http://www.cruzbike.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=871 Â ...
I've been lurking around this site for a couple of months trying to figure out how to turn my new (old stock) K2 Attack 2.0 13 or 14" frame into a Cruzbike....
I would build up the softrider frame just like a conversion.Just buy a kit forks. You might find a rear triangle from Doug? The softrider forks are nice and...
... i dont think there would be any challenges to another gear hub. I recently added a 8 year old used rohloff to my stock cruzbike freerider. I also have a...
I have a Trek y-22 Cruzbike conversion. This bike is complete and rides smooth.I live in south lake thaoe Ca and don't want to ship.I had the bike kit put...
Hi JonB, I am just guessing but I think around 30 -35 lbs....The heaviest part is the front where the conversion kit is, it weighs about the same as my other...
Hi, I got a conversion kit and converted a bike. I am trying to ride it and facing some problems - cannot get off at all. I went through the other messages and...
... It is about a year ago i got mine. I use it every day now. Before buying i tried a conversion and i was confused and reluctant, i couldnt get it to work,...
To make it easier, you need to get a "push-start" or rolling start, then you can start pedaling slowly at first. __________ Flat-lander Bill team caretaker ...
It is also important to make sure the bike is set up right,you should be able to peddle without your knees hitting anything.Also at first do not peddle...
Hi Jon, Thanks very much for your advice. I had seen people using it in Australia - it looked easy but when I got my own and tried it it looked like not an...
Hi It is good to hear you are making progress. The tips are some i got last year and others i have read since then. i look forward to see your bike. JonB...
... Beyond the generic hints others have given, I'll add the following: - As with most recumbents, it pays to be bold: that is, it's easier and stabler to get...
In my experience, the key to starting off well on almost all recumbents is to do a little "bounce back" thing where you compress the driving leg a little bit...
Why not just start with your driving foot in the 11:00 (or 11:30) position to begin with? That's what I do, and it works even for uphill starts. For anyone...
Hi Greg, I am in city called Pune in state of Maharashtra. Where are you in India? Good to know I am not alone :) Correct I realized that at slow speed, the...
Also, The shift at which you have the bike to start have much to do with succesful starts. If the shift is to heavy, your speed will be less than ideal and...
Thanks for this message. My cycle has 21 step gears. I set it up like this - Crank position - 2 (middle one) and drive position - 3rd from biggest. And it...
I've done most of that stuff, but a lot less frequently now! Now and then something happens that would have put me on the ground a year ago. But not anymore. ...
... Note that for standard wheels (24" or more), you should never _need_ to stop pedalling, unless you're doing a sharp turn at low speed (e.g., to cross an ...
... As a relatively new conversion owner, I haven't seen many posts responding to riders having trouble getting started that discuss seat height as a major...
Seat height - indeed. I too experienced this - when I shifted a bit to adjust my sitting position - lost the balance. Perhaps I was at low speed too. I need to...
Every time someone asks about frame choice for conversions, I say "low seat height, low seat height - y-frame y-frame". I can't say it enough. Pramodan, good...
