    2010 SOFRIDER FOR SALE EXCELLENT CONDITION SOLD!!!

    Important considerations: -Do you have any passengers or can you fold the rear seats down and/or front passenger seat all the way forward. With the rear seats down in the SUV you might be able to fit it without any disassembly. Bring a moving blanket or an old blanket and some rags to protect...

    Seeking to buy used T50 or sofrider (Purchase complete)

    To compare the two you would need to isolate the variables that you want to test: the Emeljay mod= slider, boom /steerer clamp, and stem vs. stock setup= stock slider, steer tube riser, boom/steerer clamp, and stem. That would require two T50s set up with all components the same including the...

    SOLD: 2021 Q45 for sale with extras...

    Anything tweaked by @rfneep is too nice for the museum giving a false sense of stock due to perfectly executed improvements and immaculate care.

    Poblem with Q45- Top steering post clamp slipping?

    I’m not sure which clamp you are referring to. Can you post a picture ? Is it the clamp that would be a stem on a diamond frame bike? If so, is it the stem to fork steerer tube or the one that clamps on the boom slider that you are having difficulty with.

    vintage sofrider perfect shape well equipped.

    You forgot the most important selling feature in your worded spec list: gorgeous blue colour. Thankfully the pictures showed it. @chengsun This probably is the best equipped Sofrider possibly in the best condition. It will compare very well with any Quest or QX100. And you can get some...

    S40 in Vancouver Canada area

    Sorry to hear about your bikes. Serious low-life. All the best with a new s40. I’m not remotely nearby but anyone who finds themselves near Hamilton Ontario is welcome to stop by. Cheers, Ben.

    Ride Together 2023

    Sounds like the ride retreat would be a great place to learn from others who have been there - IF it is acceptable/ possible.

    A sign of things to come?

    Dear Genie, Below I have provided my Genie translation of the above wish. My three wishes are for: 1. The Cruzbike family, both company and rider members, to be able to maintain all of the things we love about it (see multitude of threads and posts that apply) while, 2. Cruzbike the company...

    The Cadence Conversations

    If you go much smaller wheels you will have a MBB skate board. !

    MBB Advantages

    I agree with all of the above. Here are some subjective opinions too: Also because the upper body is more involved it is more fun carving a turn or maybe it is hitting the power to pull up out of the turn. Similar to a front wheel drive car, power added is pointed in the same direction that...

    Learning my S-30

    Are those two bolts both on the vertical centreline? Then they are for the headrest and the holes in the carbon seat back are for access to the bolts without removing the seat. Look at the frame under the top of the seat back near the holes you took pictures of. Some models have little wings...

    Looking for Ultra Distance Event Preparation Advice

    You are smart. You can pick up the tactics or at minimum follow direction the first few races until we get you trained up. Zwift is great for training when the weather says no go but even better for riding with new and old friends around the world. 4iii are a great company. Do you have a heart...

    Trade 2021 Q45 for 2019 or earlier

    Q45 was the major upgrade when the Q gained the same front triangle as the S40 and v20 Before the Q45 there were QX100, Quest, Y2K, Sofrider, and Conversion kit models that all had the same one that is on the T50.

    Looking for PDF copy of QX100 manual

    Very reliable. I set my pressure two years ago and it has not changed noticeably. No it won’t fall down on the tire. With the shock fully compressed, at minimum length, which would be equivalent to no air support, the shock would still be there holding the bike up.

    Great Fenders (Mudguards) for the S40

    Competent can be competently replaced by “willing to try for a while.” There is nothing that should stop anyone who is willing, has a few hours of fresh air time and some very basic tools from attaching fenders. Yes, they are finicky and you might have to try a few times but you can’t hurt...

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    Don’t the pawls stop it from freewheeling in both directions. That is wouldn’t you have a coaster large scooter with pedals only for decoration not for locomotion?

    Great Fenders (Mudguards) for the S40

    That looks really sharp. Hope I can fit mine as well.

    S40 Tire Anecdata

    Reading between the lines I see you rode at least 3800mi in the past year or two and did some effective tire research too. Thank you for sharing the results of both.
