    Beater/beat up Frame??

    Something more than vague I interest might be required in order to get something. A Conversion Kit, Sofrider, or Questshould fit the bill nicely. I have a conversion kit on a trainer and my QX100 goes on the trainer in the winter and they both work admirably.

    Too big or too small for Cruzbike? Check the Chart. Take the Poll.

    Maybe one of our expert CAD people can do this up in a side view for the visual learners and one of the mathematical geniuses can make a calculator that we could enter info into to spit out suggested initial fitting numbers. Major Human variables: X-seam hip/shoulder distance arm/palm...

    Too big or too small for Cruzbike? Check the Chart. Take the Poll.

    Thinking: Body measurements and preferences that would give better initial fit could include: X-seam (and crank length) (and chain stay size) : determine seat pan to bottom bracket extension and hip angle = boom extension Hip/shoulder distance, Seat angle (model), and shoulder/palm distance...

    Too big or too small for Cruzbike? Check the Chart. Take the Poll.

    In general I agree-dimensions should be the main consideration. But further thought made me think that maybe weight gives changes to body dimensions that are not linked solely to height such as thigh diameter and belly weight would impact possible handlebar locations, bum weight would impact...

    Q-45 for Great Divide route?

    Ride Together 2023

    Hmmmm. Thanks @3bs. @Lucia, Could the ride retreat show up in "all products" on the main part of the website? I can't seem to get there from outside. Only through the Facebook link, possibly through the email blasts (now subscribed), and now through this link here in the forum.

    Did all QX100s come with Diatech Headset?

    @Scott No, that is not a Diatech. Here's some reading for you. (In order of what was nominally the most useful to me first on the list) : Info: https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/play-in-headset-on-t50-how-to-adjust.12314/#post-145767...

    Q Touring and Commuting Rack + RACKTIME Odin Bag = Friday Morning Blues

    @woodguy Good idea so I checked and the only reference I can find on the cruzbike website is a wonderful 2018 Top of Michigan tour report in the blog section. The products>accessories>racks section appears to have been updated.

    I have studded tires on my mountain bike and ride year round. (559 - 26" Nokian Hakkapeliitta W106 purchased many years ago at PeterWhiteCycles.com I highly recommend both these tires and Peter White cycles and their website is a wealth of knowledge.) Yesterday had a lovely batch of...

    Too big or too small for Cruzbike? Check the Chart. Take the Poll.

    @Jim Parker I really like the idea of getting the word out that a test ride may not always be necessary and the cases where it is recommended to have a test ride or fitting session with a dealer or experienced Cruzbiker. I’m not sure that the blog article always quite gets the focus from a new...
