I've never compared my Q2 559 I've never compared my Q2 559 to a 451. But, riding in a higher gear in on any bike requires more effort. The 559 is a pretty fast bike and I cruise at an average 16 mph using the the high gear on the SRAM Dual Drive in 5th gear which is perfect gearing for me...

Just read this thread from Just read this thread from start to finish and already forgot John's question about V and S pricing. Many great points here. I never would have started Cruzbiking without the kit that allowed me to take my beloved yellow Klein dual suspension mountain bike to a whole...

I'm anxious to hear your May I'm anxious to hear your May report on the alternative comfort seats and higher seat angle for the Silvio. My Quest 2 is a great "jack of all trades" Cruzbike, but I hope to evolve into a "luxury" Silvio. I'm hoping version 3 might incorporate a comfort seat with...

I haven't touched mine up I haven't touched mine up yet. The paint was rubbed off where the brake and shifter cables touch on the frame during turns just below the steering stem. I found some auto touch up paint at Pep Boys - the automotive chain store that looked pretty close but felt it...

Thanks for all the great Thanks for all the great tips. I always keep full pressure - makes a huge difference in speed. I did a combination of truing the wheel and lubing the pull rod. I rechecked the disc brakes with a business card and made a slight adjustment. Noticeable improvement. You...

Your bike screams "get out of Your bike screams "get out of my way"! If it were mine, I'd mount a small red u-shaped cow-catcher using those BB holes (sort of like what you see on some SUVs). You could then mount a few spotlights, strobes, horns or what have you. Just kidding - your bike is...

I'll be watching your build. I'll be watching your build. That's the bike I want! Thought you needed a 135mm fork for the Rohloff?

I've put many trouble free wonderful miles on my Quest 2 over the past several years.. I've noticed that my drive wheel is not as "free wheeling" on recent rides and that I need to put more effort into sustaining my usual speed over my usual 16 mile workout course. I've recently cleaned an...

Thanks for the ride. Great Thanks for the ride. Great video. Did you have much trouble fitting the NuVinci to your bike?

I've been riding my 26" Quest I've been riding my 26" Quest 2 for a few years. The hills are very small in Savannah, GA. Even so, gearing is no problem when riding over some pretty steep and long bridges. I have never needed to fold the bike for traveling. I think the 26" is cosmetically more...

With all the enterprising With all the enterprising gearheads on this forum, someone might design a sturdier, portable version of the clickstand idea that tucks under the seatback for storage and slides into a mounting bracket under the seat pan? There must be a way to protect such a beautiful...

I have several thousand mile I have several thousand mile on my Quest 2. My bike came mostly assembled but there were a few quirks setting it up properly. I had been riding a Cruzbike conversion for several years so learning to ride the Quest not a problem. I didn't like the stock handle bars...

Thanks Alan for your Thanks Alan for your comments. Yes, there are some compromises with front wheel drive recumbents. You have really come a long way in a short time considering that your experience is mostly rear wheel drive bikes. You're really learning how to ride a whole new animal and it...

Wow. Those are some serious Wow. Those are some serious handlebar mods. Can you give details?

This is very impressive. This is very impressive. What's next - the Tour de France? Regards to the lead out guy also. That's beautiful country you live in - I lived in Portland for 8 years and like it more every time I go back for a visit. Bet your Silvio has brought you plenty of good times...

I'd be interested in I'd be interested in hearing how he compares his Quest to the Silvio considering his back problems and the difference in seat angle. Also, what bike rack is that? Thanks

NIce job. What's the black NIce job. What's the black gizmo at the top near the bend. Is that to help reduce flexing? Also, what did you use for soft material that comes in contact with your neck. The cell foam that I used is a little too hard. Thanks
