    Quest front suspension

    Welcome! You should be able to get both the unsuspended fork and the longer chainstays from Cruzbike, as they're the same ones used on the current QX100. I swapped the chainstays a couple of years ago, and am about to change out the fork (or have the LBS do it). Also consider replacing the...

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

    I am. I play flute, and pennywhistle as needed, as a volunteer in my church orchestra.

    QX100 Suspension maintenance?

    I don't believe I've ever seen anyone here admit to actually breaking the shock, though a few may have worn it out. You should still be able to ride, it just wouldn't...suspend. Replacement shocks might be available from Cruzbike. For that matter, I'd be happy to send you my old shock as a...

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Step back and look at it again. That's a Cruzbike logo. :cool:

    Stall speed of your Cruzbike?

    That's how I conducted myself when I rode trikes--as if I were on a tiny three-wheeled tractor. (One of the trikes happened to be green with yellow decals, and I had added a slow-moving vehicle triangle along with a flag.) I greeted everyone whether I knew them or not, and waved cars behind me...

    Minimum X-Seam on Quest Bikes

    The minimum x-seam for the Q559 should be about the same as the current QX100 at 33". Not sure whether/how much different it would be on the Q451, with the shorter chainstay. I have (what used to be) a Q451. Before I converted it to larger wheels, I let my 4'10" niece ride it. I had the...

    Comparison Chart of Past Cruzbikes

    I worked on a spreadsheet when someone last asked this back in the summer, poking through the Wayback Machine for info, but never did finish. I'll probably do some more on it this winter. TerraTrike has an evolution page they last touched around 2004, and a chart of legacy specifications, as...

    6-12-24 Hour World Time Trial Championships Perez vs the World

    I wondered what had happened there! I knew he couldn't have made up that much ground on you, that quickly.

    DELETED Quest - $800 - Fresno, CA

    Yep, that's a Quest, not a QX100. The logos look like the ones on my Q, purchased in May 2014, so I'm thinking late 2.0/early 3.0. Later iterations of the Quest 3/Q559 had a large letter Q instead of the word Quest on the frame near the head tube, and no front suspension.

    upgrading a Quest v2

    Thank you for the heads-up. I haven't installed my new fork yet.

    Finally rode a century

    If you'll indulge me, I feel the need to wax elephants--er, I mean, eloquent. :p The first year I owned a road bike, I signed up to ride in central Mississippi's MS150. Thanks to the lingering aftereffects of Hurricane Katrina in late August, the usual two-day October event was shortened for...

    V20, ok for a short guy with short legs?

    I know a V20 pilot in the 66"-67" range, with x-seam around 41", and he seems to do fine. I've test-ridden his V20. I'm 65", x-seam 40.5", inseam 30.5". I had no problem getting my feet down. The seat on my S30 is actually a tad higher, maybe half an inch.

    V20 Build - MBB newbie

    Yes, there's a derailleur stalk with a slotted end to accept a braze-on mech. You can see it in this post: http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/vendetta-v20-build-diary-2016.10189/#post-118509

    2017 Texas Time Trial - live results!

    I found the "race bible" on the event web site. They allow prorated laps: "5. Only complete laps count. You may ride an additional (prorated) lap if you cross the start/finish before your cut off time but you must complete the entire lap for any prorated credit. This is our most misunderstood...
