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

    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...

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

    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...

    QX100 Steering Mod

    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...

    QX100 Fenders?

    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.

    QX100 Steering Mod

    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...

    QX100 Steering Mod

    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.

    QX100 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...

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! :)...

    QX100 Steering Mod

    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...

    QX100 Steering Mod

    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...
