Found an interesting article, most interesting to me are some details on how much protein I need depending on various factors in the section How much protein is enough? https://www.dietdoctor.com/how-much-protein-should-you-eat

Yea, my waxed chain also seems to be lasting more miles. I bought a chain checker before I started waxing and it helped me to be more consistent as to when I replaced my chain. And to find out that for where I live and ride and with my chain maintenance that I need to plan to replace my chain...

I'm not a power user but since my first bicycle in '64 I rode more days than not, and had similar 'maintenance program' that it sounds like you had.;) I used 10-30 oil from the tool shed oil can. Did clean the chain off every now and then by removing it and swishing it around in a can of...

And try adding power from your upper body by pulling hard on the handlebars especially pulling hard enough to pull yourself off the seat!:eek: One of my younger brothers (11 years younger) is amazed at my acceleration!o_O especially when going uphill!;):D

The OD of the slider is about 1.25 inches. The ID of the boom is also about 1.25 inches. So please read:

Lower angle (flatter, level with ground) on the seat pan? By moving the seat pan back does look like it would level out the seat pan, but looks like it would shift weight off the front wheel decreasing front wheel traction going up hills. Did you try mounting the seat pan using the most forward...

Pics, and more pics of your process would be great/helpful to document your improvement to my mod for all watching.

Which fork clamp are you referring to? 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, or which other one?

I've read on some thread(s?) on this forum where the rear fenders (for DF) were used on the front wheel on CruzBikes, but can't remember where.

BOM for current state of modified X100: The original X100 was great out of the box, but following discussions on this forum got me to ponder what this ride would feel like with more rigid steering. Also, following the lead of other threads on this forum led me to these changes: 1. replace...

Frisard, I've been thinking the same as done on this forum as seen in this pic (forgot who I should give credit to) it is the clamp on the boom at the bottom bracket. Now I'm off to compile the BOM for the current state of my X100 steering mod.

Frisard, Exactly, smaller wheel size and the folding frame packs in smaller suitcase, disc brakes are great for my types of riding (touring and commuting with loaded panniers especially when in wet weather), and adjustable seat is a great luxury! The tube I used was the only one I found that I...

Videos of your bicycling shadow as it jumps up, down, and around the ground, plants, and man made objects is also interesting.

Interesting article especially with my background. I worked as a part time research assistant while going to university for another university's agricultural research station with my salary paid for by a major sugar company. As now, I then commuted by bicycle to work, school, and everywhere! :)...

Also I slowed down when the latest version of the Sylvio was released because the more rigid front end intrigued me. But I do need the flexibility to add a rack, I like disc brakes, and the Quest and X100 seats are very adjustable. I can see buying another CruzBike in my future, just don't know...

No BOM yet :confused:, as I'm still mulling over the current state of my mod while using the bike for commuting and pleasure rides noting and thinking about things that I want to improve. I know, get this product out the door, but you know the old saying that sometimes you have to kill the...

I may be a Dinosaur on the RojoRacing Scale, but on my CruzBike I feel like I'm a Cradle Baby on two wheels! :D

Young Men Dead by Black Angels or if in a mellower mood Ride like the wind by Christopher Cross

Thanks for quick reply, was hoping it was stock product. It looks nice along with the CF boom on your bike.

Bentas, Where did you get that clamp attaching the boom to the bottom bracket?
