    Softrider vs Quest

    Quest 451 I've had my Q451 about a month. I've felt a lot more comfortable learning to ride a FWD-MBB bike with a lower seat height, and lower bottom bracket relative to the seat. My 13-year-old son, with me giving him a few pointers ahead of time, caught on to the balance of the bike quickly...

    Learning to ride again...

    @Abuelo I've had the pleasure of working with Jan for nearly 25 years. Seriously considering the 20-mile option at BBB. We may even bring the Kettwiesel so my husband can ride the Tour de Grand. I never saw a Cruzbike in person until mine arrived a month ago. Met a guy from the Tupelo...

    Slow but steady Rode a little over eight miles today, my first time to try the Q on one of my regular road routes. Swapped out the mountain bike platform pedals for PD-M324s--clipless on one side, flat with Power Grips on the other. Rode part of the way with one foot in the Power Grip, the...

    Rotor Q ring not suitable for recumbents?

    Correct way to assemble seat-pan and seat-back interface

    Having a different problem When I put my Q451 together a couple of weeks ago, I could find only one washer per assembly. The bolts are so long that even when they're tightened fully, there's still noticeable play in the seat. It rattles when I get on and off the bike. Have I mixed parts up...
