    Katy Trail

    Thanks, Tuloose. I'll check out the Missouri State Parks Ride, also. I was thinking my Q. I want to change some things on it anyway. Now, is a good time for me to plan. I am not cycling for two weeks. My left foot is in a boot because of Achilles tendinitis and spurs. I am not happy but I have...

    Katy Trail

    My sister and I are planning a Katy trail ride for next summer. I own a Sofrider, a Q559 and an S30. Does anyone have a recommendation on which bike would be best suited for the Katy Trail and with what tires? We are planning on staying at hotels along the route. Cycling from the hotel a couple...

    Seat screw knob for QX100

    I took the bolt with me to Ace Hardware and they gave me the correct knob. I just used a regular nut for several weeks. Sorry but I don't know the exact size.

    S30 paint

    I have a dual suspension S30. The paint looks like a pearl coat white to me. Does anyone know where to purchase touch up paint? I have a spot under the seat close to the suspension that the paint is gone. I am not sure what happened but I want to get it covered. It isn't really seen so I could...

    If I can build up an S30, so can you

    I cycled 29 miles on the Legacy Tail and Venetian Waterway inVenice, Fl. Beautiful day with only a few sprinkles on the way home.

    An idea for beginners & those kicking the tires...

    I just serviced my pedals and cleats. I did a short 5 miles today but did not clip. Tomorrow is 35-40 miles and I'll be clipping. It is a rails to trails with several street crossings so I'm sure I'll get to try out the newly serviced pedals many times. I am anticipating a smooth as silk...

    An idea for beginners & those kicking the tires...

    Thanks for this information. Now, I need to figure out where the clamping pivot axle point might be located. Sounds like good routine maintenance plan. I also recently discovered the difference between the two types of SPD cleats. I have the road bike cleat but will give the mtb cleat a try soon.

    An idea for beginners & those kicking the tires...

    I use SPDs with no problem. I did put a dab of oil on the pedal contact spots. I also use a flat pedal on one side and the spd on the other. I flip back and forth. I do seem to want the cleat farther back than it will go. Lots of folks here use Speedplay Frogs

    Legs too short to flintstone

    Thanks, I'll read the thread.

    Legs too short to flintstone

    So, could I leave the 559 on the rear and change the front to a 451? Use a 42 x 10-42 and upgrade the shock also. I think I'll change to trigger shifters instead of the twist grip shifting. The grips keep separating just a tad.

    GPS unit or iPhone with an app such as Map my Ride

    Thanks for that info and the Bluetooth catch. I'll check out the 505. I am only cycling in the US so I have no issues at the moment with only that map. You make some excellent points with explaining the differences.

    Zwift - Cruzbike Activities (races and group rides)

    I enjoy reading your posts. I do not have a setup for zwift riding. I am living vicariously through Team Moose.

    GPS unit or iPhone with an app such as Map my Ride

    I am contemplating purchasing a GPS unit and have been looking at the Magellan 315 which you can get from Amazon for about 100$. I am a basic touring cyclist. I go out and ride and do not want to get lost. Places that I ride in Ky, at times, there is no cell phone service. I only use basic...

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Glad you are basically ok and hope you heal quickly. I was telling my sister earlier tonight that a fall from a bent is easier than going over the handlebar.

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    I participated in a local ride (26 Mar) Pedal and Play in Paradise, Punta Gorda, Fl. The weather was fantastic. The local bike mechanic said he has just built a S30 for someone. He also said he had never seen so many pieces and parts. The ride also had 2 Encores and 3 velomobiles and 2 trikes...
