    Quest 2.0 in a suitcase - questions

    Hi Stephan, I don't have a Hi Stephan, I don't have a Quest, but my understanding is that it's a simple as you think: Advantage of longer chain stay is that it allows both 26" and 22" (451) wheels. The only disadvantage is harder to pack (and slightly more weight). There's a nice...

    Vendetta on rollers instead of a trainer?

    Hi Bill, People can Hi Bill, People can definitely ride Cruzbikes on rollers (as nicely demonstrated by the video linked in the 2nd entry above) and so I'd say there are no major show stoppers. If you're leaning towards the Tacx rollers, I haven't seen anything here that suggests it won't...

    Vendetta on rollers instead of a trainer?

    Hi Bill, One more comment Hi Bill, One more comment (and apparently it's a long one): Depending on what you are used to riding, getting trainer time will help you get used to pedalling a Cruzbike (which quite different if you've never ridden a SWB bike). Once area where I'm likely to...

    Vendetta on rollers instead of a trainer?

    Hi Bill, I've never done Hi Bill, I've never done this, so weight this answer as you will... :) I'm not convinced that any trainer/rollers with the Cruzbike are really going to help you get the steering. Rollers (which I've never used) might help a little bit in that you probably...

    First ride on first conversion
