    S40 questions

    If you do, I want to try it! I love both my Q and my S30, but there's always the curiosity about the new models. I have the S30 without front suspension, that I'd be willing to let you try out.

    New S30 pictures?

    I got one. I was ready for something more reclined than the Silvio 1.5, but 27 degrees (much less 20) was just too much for me. The 33-degree seat angle (and lighter front end) compared to the original S30 were what I was looking for.

    Which wheel size do you like best?

    I put the A5-RE on my Q last year. Definite improvement over the original shock. Someone recently installed the dual-chamber A5-RR1 on his Q.

    The more you know the safer you'll be on the road

    The OP on that thread has a history of close encounters. In the past year and a half alone, he's been hit by vehicles twice, almost backed into once, had a car turn across his path, almost hit by a shovel falling out of a vehicle...even claims he had to outrun soccer fans leaving a match because...

    No ride tonight--rehearsal + rain + scratchy throat. :(

    They've already left the last solo female, Penny Barker, a good 60 miles behind. Looks like she's going to miss the time cutoff at TS35 (Mississippi River) by at least 10 hours. T403 is within 26-27 miles of the last solo male, Valerio Zamboni.

    Which wheel size do you like best?

    I bought my Q with the 451 wheels, because I wanted a lower seat height and bottom bracket. I liked them OK, but after a while, I wanted something a little faster. (The stock Kenda tires may have been the problem, but there aren't many options for 451 tires.) I tried out a friend's Sofrider the...

    Yep. We'll be on the east side of TS Cindy if she maintains her track. Less rain, but more wind and higher risk of tornadoes.

    Kick butt new front-page photo!

    More or less, yes, especially when combined with swaying the boom side to side just a bit--kind of like when a rider on an upright sways the bike side to side when standing to climb a hill or sprint.

    Six day challenge (ride with cruzbike3kc in spirit)

    Day 4. Tropical Storm Cindy (aka "Potential Tropical Cyclone DumpAFlood" per our local paper's editorial cartoonist) is creeping this way. Ditched the Tuesday night group ride in favor of a cruise closer to home. Nice-looking houses on the route, not-so-nice-looking sky.

    Fighting residual wobblies

    I've seen this discussed on BROL several times. The consensus seems to be that it's better to shim the shoe and/or cleat for slight differences in leg length.

    Day 3 in the books. Slipped a ride in between a passing shower and sunset.

    The updates are appreciated. Gonna run out and get a quick ride in. Anybody's guess to whether rain or dark will get here first.

    Refurbishing a Quest

    Quest 2.0 manual Generic Cruzbike owner's manual Official Cruzbike Quest videos Correct. I was dubious about ordering from AliExpress, but had no problems. You want either the A5-RR1 (dual chamber) or A5-RE (single chamber), 125mm. You'll need a shock pump, or a special attachment for your...
