    Gravel Run

    Are they the type that drop spines in bunches that stick out like sea-urchins? No, the above are saguaros. The cactus that is reputed to drop spines in bunches and stick you, and rightly so by my own experiences, is the teddy bear cholla cactus pictured below. They seem to jump out and grab you...

    Gravel Run

    I routinely ride a MUP that has a section half mile long of gravel of variables size from quarter inch to two inches. Park vehicles pack this making double track path. I ride with either 26x1.5 (on my Q3) or 559x38 (on my X100) Schwalbe Marathon Supreme rated to 95 psi but I ride at about 70...

    QX100 Steering Mod

    My first version had some slipping of the slider tube, but I fixed it using clamps on both sides of my slider clamp to keep it from slipping. https://www.cruzbike.com/forum/posts/132728/ DavidJL improved on my slider clamp cludge and here is his link: https://www.cruzbike.com/forum/posts/132805/

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    Here are just a couple of links to articles/research summarys that may make one suspect the results of picking just a few articles that may support one's view. I read up on this, and based on my medical needs and advice then tried LCHF diet out for myself with great results. I also was involved...

    Thinking outside the Box

    I've been using pedals similar to those for several months (about 15 miles a day) commuting to work and pleasure rides. Those little screws really grab my shoes (soft soles of running shoes) and let each foot "find" it's position. My left foot is centered on the left Pedal pointed straight...

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    I have some rattle/creaking on my X100 that I found out comes from the cassette being loose because there is a space created when I took off the plastic spoke protector after it cracked.

    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    Yes, during the summer like now when temps are above 100°F I change out my chain every couple of weeks which is about 200 miles. During the winter, if one can say Phoenix, Arizona, has winter, then I change to a newly waxed chain about once a month. It's not as easy as wiping the chain with a...

    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    Like ratz says, simple green, or the orange stuff both work great at getting the oily/greasy stuff off both the original manufacturers greased chains (which is great lube for the chain but attracts grit, so I like to wax the chain since it doesn't attract grit!) and off my gritty hot Arizona...

    What do I have, please?

    I have a Quest 3 which does not have front suspension on the fork. Your front fork appears to have suspension on the fork (the rubber piece on the fork just under the frame head tube). Also your frame has a different rear wheel dropout than my Q3, and a screw mount near that dropout. So you...

    Neophyte in need of Vendetta V20 setup help...

    With my front light on my handlebars, my water bottle, if clear, red in this pic, does glow and appears flashing from the side because of my rotating legs. A safety feature.:) My main priorities are safety, comfort, and utility. However, I do benefit some from the aero aspects of my...
