    2019 Cruzbike Summer Time Trial Challenge

    After this Time Trial challenge is complete.. I wonder if riding the route backwards would change anything?

    2019 Cruzbike Summer Time Trial Challenge

    Is that Lake Oz or is it Larry Lake :p Been there! Wait 'till you drop down a curb or something large at an angle or some loose gravel you didn't see. Some have posted their tales of woe (many which are truly woeful and painful including broken bones). I personally have always been amazed...

    2019 Cruzbike Summer Time Trial Challenge

    @NeaL, @LarryOz, @McWheels, @Bill Wightman, You guys are crazy! Crazy in a very respectful, honourific way.:D Unless I miss the mark by a lot @NeaL is a lot closer to me than to you seriously speed and time committed athletes - the TT ride length is probably the whole ride - at the beginning...

    Mid Atlantic 12/24 or Tour de Moore

    I was going to say "show me the money" or rather show us the pictures but then I saw the case on the Accessories page along with Robert's video... @trplay don't drill the hole in the bottom that big! Would rain / beverage be able to get in through the bottle holes if you get caught in a...

    New quick fold procedure for transporting Q559 V3.0 in small car

    Note 2: My rear fender is a full size 26" mountain bike rear fender, my front fender is a slightly narrower rear fender. Those were the fenders that I had when I mounted the fenders. For me full "rear" fenders for both are the way to go. The size of the tire and axle doesn't make a...

    New quick fold procedure for transporting Q559 V3.0 in small car

    I took the pictures from the Left Side and took apart with the bike facing left. Maybe it is the horseback-riding-mount-from-the-left I don't know. It seems easier to see this way. It is definitely easier to get at my quick releases which all are on the left.

    New quick fold procedure for transporting Q559 V3.0 in small car

    If you are waxing your chain then remove the chain - one less thing in the way. If you are not - give it a try it keeps things clean and easy. Note: Before you start if you use a permanent marker and/or tape to indicate how far you insert the seat-post and its orientation... =saved time...

    New quick fold procedure for transporting Q559 V3.0 in small car

    Here's my recent experience folding my QX100 into the "trunk" of our 1998 Odyssey space taken up is approximately the whole width of hatch back vehicle, most of the height of the hatch back, and handlebar width deep. See below for sequential pictures. I have a rear skirt on my rear fender made...

    New quick fold procedure for transporting Q559 V3.0 in small car

    Resurrecting an old thread because it contains the word "fold" and "trunk". I add QX100 (mine), Quest and Q45 (similar), etc. This will document how I folded my QX100 without removing the fenders or affecting handlebar adjustment.

    pls. recommend shock w/lockout for Q45

    @billyk Lockouts are used on dual suspension mountain bikes all the time and the Q45 frame seems similar in structure so I doubt that a lockout would unduly stress the frame of a Q45 - my guess not based on testing. (I say this because I imagine that since the stock shock seems to eventually...

    A Wrinkle in Upgrading from Sofrider to Q45?

    The front fork is the part that connects the head tube (steering axis) to the front wheel. The chain stay would be the part that connects to the front wheel that is NOT the front fork (but has a somewhat similar shape. The chain roughly follows this set of tubes from the bottom bracket (the...

    Removing the Q559 shock

    You may be trying to mount it upside down or front to back if you have the right shock? Or you might have bought the wrong size (length) because the old Quest and QX100 used a smaller size than the current Q45
