Took the Q out for a couple of rides in the past few weeks, and realized how much I still like it. I'm taking it off the market. Assuming I can still get a long chainstay for it, this may become a Q507--but that'll be a thread of its own. Besides that, the TTrike attachment is coming one day...

Looks like a 1.5 with a chainstay extender.

Trying one more time. Price reduced to $1,450. I'm fine with selling to a Canadian buyer, but be aware that the taxes and import fees may be cost-prohibitive. If you're a brand-new forum member, and you PM me without posting here first, please tell me a little bit about yourself. Name, where...

LOL! Not to mention awesome. :D:cool:

Same for me. I joined BROL when I got my first tadpole trike in 2006. I read just about every review Bryan and Larry posted, bike or trike, for quite some months. I would never have known about Cruzbike otherwise. Someone in the forums wrote an excellent user review of the Q451, version 1...

Pretty cool-looking, but what would that extra 13 pounds on the front do to the handling?

Excellent report! What a ride! "This time I had a nasty surprise from a big diesel pickup truck that I suppose was a little unhappy that we slowed him down this Sunday morning. As he passed me, he floored it and I was engulfed in a large black cloud of thick smoke!" They call it "rolling...

Since we already have a zombie thread, I might as well hijack it. o_O Same here. Totally cheering on the Tribe. Guys riding 2/3 of the way across Australia, prepping to ride 500 miles in 24 hours, doing 100 miles a day for 10 days come heck or (literally) high water to raise funds for...

I like the looks of that Volae seat. If Cruzbike ever offered a seat like that for the Silvio, I might one day be persuaded to upgrade from my 1.5.

I should've thought of that. Getting the clickbox installed correctly was a pain the first few times, too.

Welcome! I have the smaller-wheeled Quest, the Q451. The e-ring worked fine for me in the factory-preset position. I've seen some comments here that the Q559 is geared too high for hills and load-carrying, so that may be part of the problem, rather than the orientation of the e-ring. I never...

I don't fold mine either. I used an Allen wrench to tighten the screws while holding the thumb part steady. It stays in place much better now. I still check it occasionally to be sure. I did replace the quick releases on the steering mast with regular bolts, because my leg kept rubbing against...

I used 165mm cranks on both my tadpole trikes, as well as on my Silvio 1.5. Seems to work pretty well for me with an x-seam of 40.5". I was glad to see that the QX100 comes with 160mm cranks.

They recommend riding only the FWD-MBB while you're learning how to pilot it, because you're learning such different skills. Once you have it down, you can switch back and forth...but you may not want to!:D I'm pretty sure we have members who ride different types of recumbents as well as their...

Come to think of it, I have a set of pedals with heel slings in my parts box, that came on a trike I bought used. Even if you don't buy my Q451 (thanks, @Charles.Plager :D) I'd be happy to pass them along to you.

Welcome! Clipless pedals are good to have, but not a "must" in most cases. I ride my Silvio with clipless pedals, but my Q451 has pinned platform pedals. There are commercially-produced pedals with heel slings, or you could certainly rig up something suitable.

I knew something was up! Especially since the chirping of crickets was the only response I got. http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/qx100.8828/

Or like this: http://www.amazon.com/Topeak-Presta-Valve-Extension/dp/B001M82ZHA Helpful installation hints: http://www.slowtwitch.com/Tech/Valve_Extender_How-To_3007.html I've never ridden wheels that require these. I learned something new today. Thanks, Martinius!

When you have a bike on a trainer, you put one of those under the other wheel. http://www.amazon.com/CycleOps-Climbing-Riser-Block/dp/B003RZV36K

No, it hasn't sold. :) Sent you a PM (or "started a conversation," as this forum calls it)
