Sometimes I wish that I lived in the USA. Unless I missed the world economy changing drastically, this is awesome for anyone wanting that level of group set. Save some bucks, get brand new quality parts that you know fit perfectly and will save you time fiddling and wondering.

It appears as though it should fit the same. The moose pack sits in that frame gap which hasn’t changed. The seats both are shaped to the frame and rest against the frame.

@LarryOz In post #2, are you suggesting to grease the two mating surfaces? Can you or an engineer or machinist explain this to us that think that would let it slip even easier?

A machinist friend frequently reminds me that torque values are fairly vague suggestions because they presuppose perfect conditions: perfect measurements, perfect tolerances, perfect uniform smoothness, texture, perfect cleanness/ even matching lubricant, no wear, perfect use of tool, such as...

Would it be possible to switch the chain to Shimano rather than switching the cassette to Sram? It seems as though the incompatibility may be related to the different brand specs being slightly different.

I postulate it might be easier to take a picture from horizontal side view with the foot in approximately “forward” and “rearward” position. Draw a straight line from hip to bottom bracket pivot point. Then draw perpendicular line to get the absolute “forward” and “rearward” pedal locations. And...

Also impacting at full up pull: -the knee will be forward somewhat and -the pedal would be in rearward in relation to the knee And both of these will be impacted by upper leg, lower leg length, foot size, location of pedal on shoe, foot angle, and what is comfortable to the user. The...

In my experience: This is true ( but does require a different kind of balance to be able to keep upright while lifting the feet). If you are starting with one foot on the pedal then steer slightly into the lean in order to get vertical right away. As soon as you are moving it is easier to...

Use only the index finger on the brake lever. Hydraulic brakes are generally designed and set up to be used with one finger. If you grew up with v-brakes or less (or less than perfect mechanical discs) then your automatic reaction will be to use the whole hand or at least two fingers. Only...

Stand up, give two quick strides, then slide down into the seat as you lift your feet to the pedals and start pedalling. Practice and don’t be afraid to be patient and let traffic pass before any start that has the potential to scare you or cause others concern. Or even walk to a better starting...

@walibby At first glance the price appears a little high for a Quest. However, these options and very nice upgrades can be hard to come by: -20” wheels - one of maybe three in the past 5 years to come for sale. Good Velocity rims - few with the original Dual-drive and disc brakes, -Thor seat -...

The original poster preferred receiving a phone call. See above posts.

Do your measurements but this might solve the seat back location: https://cruzbike.com/collections/all-products/products/bottle-cage-position-adjuster

Thank you for explaining it so well. Anybody reading should take note of @vosadrian ’s explanation immediately above and disregard my fumblings earlier in the thread.

The below I have changed to quoted conversation because the best explanation is below in post 410 https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/my-very-first-recumbent-is-a-v20.13604/page-21#post-175126

I like this. But I am curious: how much experience makes one an experienced rider? :p

@Robert Holler Will the Mar 29 V20c have viscoset headset? Fall 2022 V20c?

Go @Rob Lloyd Go!

Hi @FrankHugh, There are a few of us scattered around Canada. I’m near Hamilton. You are welcome to test ride my S40 or QX100 if you are ever in the area. We talk about all kinds of bikes here so discussion about a Mystique is great. There are a fair number if us who use Cruzbikes indoors...
