Oh, I get it, now! Thom Oh, I get it, now! Thom (Speedbiker at BROL) was talking about this. (I keep forgetting that some of the people on the forums here and at BROL actually have real names. :D)

Don't hug the edge of the From this blog post:

Hi, Just to further what Ivan Hi, Just to further what Ivan says (as I think he's right on all points): On both my Cruzbikes, I can adjust seat angle. On higher seat angles, I find that my butt gets sore. On lower seat angles, this doesn't happen so easily as more weight is on my...

Sounds like you're making Sounds like you're making wonderful progress! Keep riding and keep us updated. cheers, Charles

In a place like NYC, it In a place like NYC, it doesn't matter if they can ride the bike, they'll take it to harvest parts. So nobody else being able to ride it doesn't help as much as one might hope...

i0, I think this is another i0, I think this is another big limiting factor. Getting back on task, I'm very much looking forward to seeing what can be done with the fat bike front fork. This might be one of the best options around (although I'd love to see an option like this with...

Because they want to sell That's definitely part of it (in my opinion).

Hi, It looks like you have Hi, It looks like you have room to move the seat forward one set of holes (1/2). Not much, but it may help. I'd definitely investigate padding the seat more. Do you have an old yoga mat lying around (or even thin memory foam pillow) to add to the padding...

I'll point out that the I'll point out that the Sofrider really isn't sold as a frameset as you can't buy the front fork (which would be really nice). I'm willing to believe that the reality is that there really isn't enough interest in selling the Quest as a framekit instead of a complete...

Hi, I've got my seat pans Hi, I've got my seat pans very close to the steerer tube as well and the seats tilted fairly far back (using a lay back seat post). I find the further back the seat angle, the more weight is on my back, the more comfortable my bottom (I'm not exactly light...

People have successfully People have successfully built 700 c conversions before (29" tires use the same rims (622) as 700 c tires) . What I don't know is whether or not you'll have any issues getting the fork to work (I'm not familiar with the trek model), but your plan is sound. Note...

if you intend to use discs, This is a good point. You can imagine having a second set of wheels for rougher trais.

Hi Hi Rick, Congratulations! Yes, I'm pretty sure that 140mm fits in the back (and probably no need to go bigger). Even with disc brakes, you may have problems going bigger than 28mm on tires. (I personally agree with you that 32mm and wider tires are nice :) ). I'll also point...

I also find I need to refresh I also find I need to refresh several times on my Android tablet (and sometimes even with Firefox/Chrome on Windows). My biggest remaining complaint (as they really did fix a lot of them) about this forum is the unnecessarily complicated text entry. Doesn't...

It would take some home It would take some home engineering, but I'd love to see a fat-bike Cruzbike conversion. That could be a lot of fun in exactly where Steamer wants to take you riding (although I'm not convinced he wants you to come back out... :D ).

Well done! If you aren't Well done! If you aren't riding off-road, slicks will make a MAJOR improvement in speed. If you are going off road, have fun! :D

My non Silvio experience is My non Silvio experience is very similar to Super Slim 's as my triple is very similar (I don't have e rings but would love to try them). I sometimes call it a road double with a granny gear. Switching between the top two rings is completely trivial. Dropping...

1) Yes, new seat post (or 1) Yes, new seat post (or hacksaw). 2) You'll probably need a new bottom bracket. You probably won't need a new crankset (but it does depend on the type of crankset - square taper and you should be good to go). 3) Yes, you'll probably need a new one...
