Yeah, slammed stem? Is that what you do with the rubber mallet?

This has been interesting changing up the steering on my X100. Experimenting with the steering while trying to be budget conscious and using existing components instead of having parts designed and fabricated for each prototype (expensive for me) has ended up taking more time than I...

Oh,:rolleyes: there's more,;) but only my therapist knows how many:cool: and who's who!:p But I know that now we are all riding a Cruzbike! :)

In the pic on Apr11 posting your arms look over extended (straight with no bend), could you extend the slider a little out of the boom to solve the sore elbow problem?

Nice practice riding! In my parts I find the kids also saying cool bike or wow, guys saying cool bike (guys are just bigger kids), and the lady's mostly seem to laugh saying varying comments! In my head I still feel like I'm the kid when I'm riding and I'm saying cool and wow, but after riding...

Not a V story, but gotta tell it here because 'Just tell it to me straight Doc is my bike OK' type story. I was doing a century ride in 1984 going up the big Thompson in Colorado when going down hill on a turn at too high a speed for a me my front tire slid out from under me and I went...

And your seat is back more on the frame allowing the bottom bracket to be up higher (more aero) with higher angle seat back (less aero? but other advantages - comfort, sight seeing,etc). I've been thinking of doing this with my X100 steering mod project. Also looking at some of the other...

I added headrest, tried to bring up the bottom bracket maybe a little by loosening all bolts including down by the front wheel axel (where a stay extender would be added to bring up the bottom bracket) and pulling it up. Maybe it's up a little, can't really tell. Tightened everything up and took...

http://t-cycle.com/-c-12 Possibility for under seat rack? Several options here that clamp to frame tube.

Riding up hills, especially in San Francisco, helped to put my self regard in check, hey even though I thought I was Superman on a bicycle, those hills dumped me! Then I got older, and hey sometimes now even the flats seem like hills! Since riding my Quest, and more recently my QX100, I'm so...

I've been Cruzbike coach and fellow rider with 2 co-workers and a brother as well as volunteer time to demo for 2 locals in beginnings of anbasa prog, but another thing I wonder is if you are local to Phoenix AZ or near vincinaty and would like some Cruzbike cheering on with skills or rides...

Prototype2 pics ...and that's why I ride each prototype. :D

On both my Quest 3 and X100 the 'handlebar slider' tube is about 1.25 inch OD. The 'bottom bracket tube' boom is about 1.375 inch OD (1 + 3/8), and 1.25 inch ID (1 + 2/8). The boom length being about 13.5 inches in length. I say 'about' because all measurements are taken using calipers bought...

After taking pics yesterday and detailing where my project was at, I took a test ride and it felt ok, but my Fosters shim was not keeping the handlebars in place when powering up. Tried making some adjustments and using other materials but no successful shimming going on here. So not having...

Stock QX100 .. .. modified X .. .. .. .. So here is the prototype steering mod on my X100 (i also have been riding a Quest for 14 months with mileage at about 8500 miles mainly commuting to work about 20 miles daily) in my continuing experimentation to see how I want to customize my ride. I...

Pay dirt, or in this case pay 6061 aluminum. After sanding the tube today it finally wiggled in the boom. Sometime during an earlier sanding session I thought "maybe I should have got a METRIC diameter tube!". Or maybe a power sander! So sanding off somewhere between the initial 1.25 inch 6061...

I use both my Q and QX100 for commuting to work as well as "pleasure" riding. For commuting I carry a set of paniers on a rack, and on pleasure rides I use a trunk bag. My current rack setup as well as other setups can be seen in forum thread Q-Pannier rack needed for Quest. But I am changing...
