Hi Pete,
I just received my kit from Cruzbike. I would have gladly bought yours.
You'll make somebody very happy very soon.
Good luck!

I agree with your assessment
I agree with your assessment that it's close to the bike I used. I think it should work fine (just make sure front fork is not disc besid brakes.

I've got trigger shifters, so I just looked the right button with a finger.
Edit: "looked" should be "poked". Don't know how auto correct screwed that one up...

On BROL (but I couldn't find it when I looked) somebody make a direct drive (the pedals were centered on the hub of the wheel) trike. I believe it was an 8 or 11 speed hub. So it's definitely possible.
I agree with John that this doesn't really make much...

I always back of a little bit when shifting, but I've never noticed it. I ride without hands and shift all the time, so my guess is that this is something that will (mostly?) go away with more experience.

Oh sure....
I suggest the sticker and Rick expands it to a "stick" and he gets all the credit. Hmmmph.
Well, in that case:
* Use a stick (or a hanger) as Rick suggested.
* On the handlebar end, mount a (cut metal) hanger such that it also points over...

Ya know, Eric, I don't know if that one counts as I'm pretty sure I screwed that up last time I tried to talk about it too...

Hi Everybody,
I could very easily be wrong here (I haven't been wrong in a while so I'm due... :P). In my mind, I see the riser twisting. It could indeed be the handlebars flexing (in which case Shahmatt's suggestion may (or may not) help).
I don't have a...

For what it's worth, I think this is something of a matter of preference whether your a spinner or masher.
For really steep hills, I really like just spinning my way up. So when I'm at 2-3 mph, I have a higher cadence (I'm in 24x32 with a cadence much...
Hi Larry,

Hi Larry,
In addition to the official offerings, you can use the SRAM MTB derailleur with the road shifters, so you can get nice and long cages... (I believe this is what Eric did).
Cheers,

I don't think a stiffener
I don't think a stiffener would work in this case because I think it's the Cruzbike steerer extender that's twisting.
Replacing this piece with something heaftier may be your best bet.
I agree it's not ideal. I
I agree it's not ideal. I don't think there's much that can easily be done on these bikes (Quest, Sofrider, conversions). On the Silvio and Vendetta, the lever arm is much smaller, so the problem is greatly reduced.
I guess it's possible to replace the large stem...
In addition to Steve's
In addition to Steve's suggestions, Do you have a trainer? Can you make the nose while riding on it? If so, can somebody else find the noise while you're riding?
(And it's always the last thing you try because after you find it, you stop looking!)
