    Bravado

    If there is a difference riding no hands with/without Q-rings it to me is minimal. I did notice a minute difference riding no hands between my Quest (with Q ring) and QX100 (no Q ring) when I first started riding the QX (and having almost 5000 miles on the Quest). The QX100 seemed just barely...

    QX100 arrived

    You can also download the Cruzbike owners manual from the CB site. Read sizing and fitting tips, and safety. Page 7 has learning to ride tips. When I first rode my first Q, I at first thought "what did I get myself into". But I visualized little kids first on their Big Wheels not :)letting...

    Diamond coated chain? I've seen that when I was ordering chains and thought that it would eat my cassette and chainrings. What is the advantage of diamond coated chain

    Widest tire for Q559

    Dont know largest size as it depends on manufacturer as to actual tire size, but I have 559×40 (26×1.50) Schwalbe marathon plus. The tire measures at 1.5 inches wide with 0.5 inches clearance between tire and fork on both sides. The tire measures 1.5 inches from rim to top of tire with 5/8ths of...

    pannier rack needed for quest

    Robert, since you brought it up lets open a discussion on racks for the Q/X. When I bought my Q in Jan'15 I also ordered the heavy duty rack since it was made for the Q. It worked but my panniers flopped around too much ( the new rack that you just posted the link to was not available then). I...

    pannier rack needed for quest

    Here are the pics I have to give credit to someone who posted about this type of bracket previously but I could not find the posting to give proper credit. The updated bracket gives additional room for the distance the shock will let the seat boom travel when bumps go boom!

    pannier rack needed for quest

    I'm posting about a rack so I will do it here even though my motivation was to put a rack on my Green QX100 thread. I already had a bracket made for a rack on my Q, but I wanted more room between the bracket and the tire. You know El Nino has already given us here in Phoenix extra rain and we...

    Headrest for Softrider?

    When experimenting with seat back at a low angle I also looked at headrests. I purchased an ADEM headrest and attached it to seat back of my Q drilling only four holes to match the bracket that came with the ADEM. I also attached the ADEM pad to an aluminum bar so that I could more easily adjust...

    QX100 arrived

    Good tip ... like measure twice, cut once; only here slide handlebars down 1.75, ride to see if good fit, then cut! I like this! Thx

    QX100 arrived

    I did not want to cut the handlebar riser tube w/o second opinion. So I took the riser off my Q and installed it on my X100. The short tube from my Q, longer from X100. Took it for a ride and I liked the 1.75 inch shorter version from my Q (I am 5'8" with 40 inch X-seam). The test ride with...

    QX100 arrived

    I live in the desert so I love the Ventisit also. The Ventisit as a seat pad is just one of the many tips I am thankful for from this forum, but I will have to say that the original Cruzbike seat pad was veeeerrrry comfortable for the time I used it in Feb. And I saved it for the cooler months...

    QX100 arrived

    Checked all nuts, bolts, skewers and quick releases on my new QX100 so now time to test ride in the parking lot. It feels quick and light compared to my Q. Light feel because of no SRAM Dual Drive? The handlebar riser is 1.75 inches longer than on my Q so the handlebars feel high to me. The...

    QX100 arrived

    I just had a good laugh - it just struck me since coming home from the dentist (fixed a tooth i broke) that Wilson saw the same thing that Titleist is seeing now (except I did not pass out). Still contemplating . . .

    QX100 arrived

    X100 build Wed 2pm: Cycled home on Q from a very long hard day (I get to work after committing on Q at 3am) but looking forward to X100 build. The X arrives 75% built unless you choose the 90% option. First I wanted to see the green frame color in the sunlight - looks great see prev post for...

    QX100 arrived

    I wanted to see the real green also, that is, in the sunlight color does not lie. Right? Wrong! I carried the frame out to the light, and the color and finish was magnificent. The specaled (don't deduct for spelling - not my best subject) finish looked anywhere from a medium to a slightly darker...
