Hi Otto,
There is no official hotel - nothing really super close to the start.
There is an interstate than runs right through Springfield with many hotel options.
You can also look at airB&B site to for places.
See you soon!

The slowest speed really depends on how we you can balance. Initially it will be higher as you are getting used to the Cruzbike. The more miles you put in the better you balance will be and the slower you can go without tipping over.
It might be something as easy as improving your fit into your S40. If possible send me some pictures of you from the side while you are pedaling down the road. i.e have someone standing by the side of the road while you pass by so I can see you from the side. Best if up a driveway so they are...
Unless I am mistaken, I do not believe this model had thru axles - please reply with pictures showing this - or modify your description. Please also post more pictures of the bike and a list of components - thanks!
The this frame is an original Vendetta frame (Hydro-form) - it originally had the big boom & slider. The black one shown in this photo is was put on after the fact (unless there were some proto-types sold out there that I do not know about) - The best of my knowledge the red V20 was the first...
I was hoping to see where the end of you boom was at your handlebar connection. Ideally a short video of you from the side pedaling circles (without your chain on) is the best. To me your knees could be lower. I would try a shorter chainstay to drop your knees, got 145 cranks so you feet don't...
If you are close enough to come to the Cruzbike Museum (Hilton Head Island, SC), I can get you on both an S40 and V20C with both 700 and 650 wheelsets so you can see the difference. The V20C is much lower and you would probably not have an issue you leg length. Plus you can always put a wedge in...
I think a curved slider would help this Cd*A get lower. Show me a side view of you with one of you feet on the pedal at its apex and I might have some other ideas.
That is correct. Any Quest model predates the current Q45 Series. The Gen-1 of Q45 was released March of 2018 So, that means this model is could be 7-10 years old.
The "556" nomenclature may refer to the ISO rim diameter of 559mm, which corresponds to a 26-inch wheel size. Not really sure...
You might need to. Is this ring part of a Rotor crank? If so you might need to keep it on to prevent the crank from sliding back and forth. You really night need to get them involved - or whoever the maker is.
surprised your LBS does not have one - just keep trying it - spin it backwards until you can feel the click when it runs past the first thread and then slowly start trying to wind it on. I have had a few that were a little challenging to get started.
Other things to try. take a really strong...
