    Creaking front triangle

    On my 2022 Q45, when first assembled and ridden this was not a problem, but after a few miles there is now an awful creaking/clicking sound with any pressure on the pedals. It's hard to tell exactly where it's coming from, so I have disassembled the entire front triangle including the headset...

    2022 Q45 - where does the water bottle go?

    Further photos. Without the lower cages being angled, the 2022 seat mounting system would make it difficult if not impossible to remove the bottles, if they could even be gotten into the cages to start with. At this angle, they're easily removed and replaced even while riding. Third pic...

    2022 Q45 - where does the water bottle go?

    Not perfect but at least i can carry water on rides. As an unplanned and unexpected benefit, I can easily remove and replace bottles in the lower position. Very excited about that!

    2022 Q45 - where does the water bottle go?

    You're exactly right about the difficulty in mounting to the bosses on the frame under the seat. The mounting hardware is in the way, but that could be fixed by using non-quick release skewers and some washers and nylock nuts to take up less space. The real problem is that the mounting brackets...

    Q45-700x32c

    Very nice! May i ask what make/brand is the bag you have mounted behind the seat, and how is it mounted?

    Thanks for pointing that out; you are absolutely right about them being flat mount brakes!

    Q45 Assembly

    oh.....forgot to mention: if anyone needs to adjust the brake calipers, the bolt holding them to the frame can only be loosened/tightened with a Torx T-25. Not a hex wrench. Adjustment instructions are on the RideRever website; just search 'riderever mcx-2 post mount manual' and it will come...

    Truck Bed Rack Options

    Wow both of those are really nice. The etrailer Inno Velo is very very similar to the RecRac concept. Great to know these are available, thanks for posting!

    Truck Bed Rack Options

    Unfortunately, the company that made the racks I use has gone out of business. RecRac. Once the ones i have wear out, it will be hard to replace them, and a shame it is, because they work superbly for both recumbents and diamond frame bikes. There's a video on YouTube for anyone handy enough to...

    The new 'limited' colors look really good along with the new seat. Looking forward to this bike and definitely plan to buy one as soon as they go on sale, even though I'm a little concerned about the use of Jet Set wheels and Chosen hubs. Never heard of either. Reviews of Chosen hubs have been...

    New V20 build components

    Sorry, haven't been on here in awhile. Yes another spacer is needed. I used an additional 5mm one. Same size as the thicker of the two that came with the TriRig brake.

    Robert's V20 build

    Hello Frito Bandito, Those levers will work with TRP disc brakes; I installed TRP on the front of a Sofrider and used those exact Shimano levers and they worked well. Since Tektro is the parent company of TRP, I'm not sure if those levers will work with Tiagra but I don't see why not. Maybe...
