Describe what you mean by loose Hi Tim, Can you provide more details and describe how it is loose and why this makes you unable to ride the bike? For example, in http://cruzbike.com/SofriderV2-AssemblySupplement.pdf on page 11, Step 10, it states, " Hold the front brake on tight and...

Hi Peter, You might want to Hi Peter, You might want to take a look at the newest version of the Silvio and start thinking of what will work with it. See http://cruzbike.com/silvio-where-here The new Vendetta is similar. I may be talking to you about bags for it at some point...

Funny you should mention disc Funny you should mention disc brake drag Ian. Using my new Park Tool PCS-10 stand as a helper, I just re-adjusted the Avid BB5 brakes on the Quest using the business card technique. Loosen the adjuster bolts and caliper, slide a business card between the fixed...

Check out John's photos again Check out John's photos again in his blog writeup and I think you'll see disc brake tabs on the first and last photo if you look closely. -Eric

I bought the Park PCS-10 I bought the Park PCS-10 after John mentioned the size of the boom on the Vendetta was 48mm which is right at the limit of the Feedback BRS-50R. I really like it, especially the way it folds up. I was missing a fastener for the head clamp unit and dropped a note...

Maria should be finishing up Maria should be finishing up the Heart of the South 500. Woot! I did an easy 20 after flipping the stem around to get more knee room on the Quest. Fixes the tight knee clearance and right Achilles' tendon problem but puts my elbows down by my sides. I...

Yes, I clear but barely. The Yes, I clear but barely. The right side is a bit tighter due to the SRAM dual drive IGH shifter housing. An adjustable stem would probably provide a bit more clearance but I'm comfortable with it the way it is. -Eric

Video of Maria testing bullhorns I'm getting more interested in the bullhorns too. I was also wondering about the wrist positioning that she comments about at (1:11) which I think is also related to how she states she, "has to kind of sit up and crank that thing up", when shifting the front...

My Quest recline is approx 37 degrees OK, resting a triangle with marked degrees on top of a spirit level and eye-balling the seat angle, my Quest seat back is currently reclined to 37 degrees +/- maybe a degree or so. This recline is on the verge of needing a headrest for me. This...

That was me you were hearing That was me you were hearing Charles. I like it! -Eric

Yeah with an iPad on Mike Yeah with an iPad on Mike Sherman's Gear Calculator it can be a bit easier to use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to increment values or the (X) button to clear a field and start over. I have a Logitech Ultrathin keyboard cover for my iPad which works quite...

Ask John and Doug about the Ask John and Doug about the reasons to go SRAM Dual Drive. Maybe related to the folding/compacting aspect, maybe cost, something else or a combination of several things. I enjoy the way it works but rather than a combo of cassette and IGH, I think I would prefer...

Your Silvio is probably a 10 Your Silvio is probably a 10 speed so you need the teeth count for all 10 rings in your cassette. Looks like Charles only put in 9. Then confirm the tooth count for your triple chain ring (or change this to a double if you have that). Next set your wheel...

Hey, what's that stuff all Hey, what's that stuff all over your face? Temps are warming up mister! Time to get more aero. :-)

I'll measure the seat angle I'll measure the seat angle when I'm back near the bike and confirm the current recline angle. The mustache and goatee were sacrificed to be more aero (and just because I felt like a change) :-) Jim Parker was also more aero in this fashion when I met him...

Quest Info Lisa, I have 768+ miles on the Quest v2 at the moment 1. From this post: http://cruzbike.com/climbing#comment-16951 I have not had any particular trouble climbing hills ranging from 8% to 12% plus (relatively short ones though). The low combo feels good on hills to me. I...

Hotels fill up very early Hotels fill up very early according to their website, (my empasis added): Hotels in the Wichita Falls area usually are booked by the end of March for Hotter'N Hell Hundred weekend.
