I also sometimes contacted legs with handlebars when I first started riding my Q. So i tested several positions of bars/boom and also bar types on my Q and settled on straight bars for awhile. But my arms were a little too high. Then added bar ends that made it like drops and these allowed me to...
Looked at some pics of Sofriders and looks like a mod would work but measurements may be different particularly for ID/ODs.
Take notice that it usually takes extra care (I did sanding by hand checking fit frequently) to set up a tube to slide in another tube.
X100 Steering Mod is the thread explaining my process:

A list of parts and where I found them is located here (3rd post down):

My Quest/X100 works great on them, newer Version Vendetta with just a couple inches longer wheelbase would work also, but carry straps/ bungees to more securely strap them in.
Another note: there are other cases using the ball joint, but the ball is a different dimension and not compatible.
The TechMount ball is 17mm in diameter.
Techmount does have another case that is smaller (Inside diameter: H-4.7",W-3.0", D-1.0" as listed in their doc):

I did use my rubber mallet today to "assist" getting my crankset off so I could replace bent large chain ring with Race face 34x46 (was x100 34x48). So with just a little "rubber" the chain ring crank finally came off and I'm good to go!:)
The size phone that the case holds is about...
Nice pics, David, the first one especially, since it reminds me of my dog from 20 years ago putting his nose right up to the camera lense! I love the yellow Vendetta! There is one locally up for sale, but I'm cash strapped, but may still find a way!
OK, I've changed out the two clamps that keep my slider tube clamp from sliding up or down the slider tube that I said I would do on my Jan 10th posting, I know 2 months :mad: but I'm not fast at changing out, testing, or riding - but I enjoy it all! Once I received the items I would juggle...
Max tire pressure vs 15-25% under max. I generally ride about 25% under max to get smoother ride. When riding at full pressure on smooth surfaces I "feel" faster, but at full pressure on bumpy surface don't seem to go as fast and teeth seem to be about to crack and fall out!:confused:
You got me to change my chain, and :eek:!
I already had a prepared waxed chain, same type as before. OK, so why did I not change out the chain, or at least rewax the old one? Got lazy maintenance wise, just like to ride! :)
Here are pics with stats from this mornings ride and also test ride...
A fairing should fit nicely, It's in the mounts to fit the bike and position the fairing.
Most of the time here in Phoenix the weather is dry, but when I'm commuting in the rain my thoughts wander toward a removable fairing. But then when the rain evaporates I forget. But Billyk's fairing...
Rampa and Tiltmaniac, you did the search and finding, and I will do some testing and reporting on the Eagle panhard bar clamp and the Kuryakyn clamp for the slider tube (I've ordered them) to see how they match up with several fork tube clamps that I have on hand. Be patient as both ordered...
Those Ritchey clamps will have to be modified to work as one side has a thick spindle that reaches across to the other side, see pics about halfway down in this article:

What angle is your seat back? My angle is maybe 35-40 degrees and I don't have any seating tenderness, don't even notice any problem down there even though I ride about three hours daily.
I use the thick Ventisit pad, it's only a little giving butt since I live in the Arizona desert I primarily...
As I said I'm still learning, and will be learning for awhile I think. But it is useful right now for documenting my rides and for the data that can help recreational riders (and is helping you racers out there)! Also experimenting and learning bicycling/running/exercise apps is much more...
The Strava dashboard is easy to read, and is interactive. I'm still learning about the dash, which usually includes a map, but interactively changes according to your current location giving information such as you might be riding along a popular section where riders try to get the best time and...
I've sampled a couple more bicycling apps besides Zeopoxa which was easy to use for basic functions. Though after trying other bike apps, I've finally tried out Strava and found it to offer much more than basics although I'm still learning through much trial and error. Also an extra is that I...
After initial time to learn the basics,

Then putting in the time (miles) gets your body more and more acclimated to doing anything new to it becoming more like second nature, that is, being an unconscious competent at that activity...
