    57 mm Recommended trail figures are from 50 to 63 mm; 57mm of trail is a good combination of agility and stability. This is for bikes in general, not only for conversions. What about a picture?

    Trying to decide on a quest or sofrider..... maybe the new model?

    I have a Quest now and had a Sofrider (actually a V2-K) before Both are great bikes and the handling is not so different. I like the Quest frame design more than the Sofrider - just a matter of taste, no explicit reason - and I do also prefer disk brakes. You will be good with any of the...
