    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    I didn't get pictures so it didn't happen. So yesterday what didn't happen was I brought out the Conversion Kit (in my avatar) instead of the QX100. That is because it does not have a flange (lawyer lips) where the rear axle nut goes so I am able to mount my trailer hitch there. So I used...

    Trailer Hitch and 3D printed accessories for S40

    Oh my goodness! Would you sell a set of the trailer hitch pieces? I thought it would be easier hooking my kids bike trailer to my S40 but I’ve already chipped paint and had to jerry rig the connection because of the lip area you carved out. This is fantastic!!!! Kudos and welcome.

    Trailer Hitch and 3D printed accessories for S40

    ..."rear" skewer, but this was, in turn, too long. I used an M5 die to thread the skewer further up its length. Now I could clamp the hitch mounts to the rear fork, but there was still a lot of excess length on the skewer. Normally, cutting a threaded rod absolutely destroys the threads, making...

    DIY T50 Seatback Pannier Mount

    The bottom hook is the hardest part of mounting it but it just takes a bit of practice to get it in the slot gap. Once you do it seats itself and then you just push the top hooks up onto the top bar of the frame. The seat struts don't interfere. since the bag is soft you have some leeway. Other...

    DIY T50 Seatback Pannier Mount

    @JerseyJim Do you ever have any trouble getting it to hitch on? From the photo it appears as though the bag might run into the seat support before you can get it on the mount. Also, I had a time when I was using a bag with those kind of hooks (and granted I had it way, way, way overloaded) and...

    Our Three T50 Builds, and Maybe a Sofrider Retro-fit

    The hits just keep on comin.' Y'all can Google on the price of that 4-bike Saris 'Freedom' rack which I invested in. Friday morning of last week, in the early morning darkness, a large deer jumped out in front of my truck. The impact caved-in the grill and front bumper of my 2006 CrewCab...

    Explaining Learning to ride a recumbent to a world class DF rider who has doubts

    That's where I'm at, "What Have I Done???" My ex-wife took the kids' DF bicycles with her. That makes it difficult for me to go off riding alone on my found-on-Craigslist Sofrider, when my kids need their dad to be present. On those days of the week when I don't have custody, I don't have much...

    Child trailer experience and suggestions

    Thanks Benphyr for posting the link. I just visited the website and it looks like they redesigned a drop down hitch mount that might work with the Silvio.

    Bike rack trunk mount options?

    With some creative bike placement and bungee cords, possibly. The pictured rack is hitch-mount, but shows how the Q559 could be positioned on a rack with straight arms: http://www.nybents.com/cruzbike-quest-on-car-mounted-bike-rack/ @Mathew Fy, is the Raceway Platform still doing OK for you?

    Bike rack trunk mount options?

    I'm new to Cruzbike and just purchased a used Quest 559. Looking forward to learning how to ride it, as the first 45 minutes trying it was pretty challenging! Regardless, I need to transport this on the back of my 2010 Prius w/out a hitch. Luggage and family go in the car, so I need something on...

    Minneapolis Silvio

    I just purchased a new set of Pro One tubless for my new disc wheel build, Pacenti rims mated to Industry Nine Torch CX rims. The Pro Ones mounted and inflated without a hitch. I also had a set with no issues mounted on my cheap DT Swiss rims.

    Suggestions for a new bike carrier

    I LOVE my Saris Freedom Superclamp 2-bike hitch mount. www.saris.com under product/hitch racks. It's wonderful, easy to lift the bike on, easier yet to clamp them down.

    Suggestions for a new bike carrier

    We've got the Saris 2 and 4 and they both work well. The 4 is supper heavy but great for longer trips if you have a larger receiver hitch

    Silvio transport

    I have the Sportwing also. It is inexpensive, very light weight and can be broken down quickly and does not take up any room in your truck either! It will carry 2 bikes. I think they also have a 4-bike version available.

    Silvio transport

    ...wondering what people use to transport their Silvio. Will a standard roof rack tray work or should it be tandem length. I have a hitch mount but that seems like it may be problematic. I will likely be transporting my Silvio to some flat rides out on the eastern shore of MD-good long flat...
