My 2c: before spending any more time on diagnosis - clean and lubricate the chain and see if that deals with the problem. Then since you have just cleaned and lubricated everything you may be able to see evidence of where chain, derailleur, cogs, etc. are hitting something and clicking...

Zwift drafting may depend on which Zwift bike you choose but your actual bum/back pain is not translated to the Zwift drafting calculation. It is purely independent from a comfort contest.

A small shed with a chunk of bike rack bolted to it would be pretty difficult to move as a unit. Maybe an old bus shelter...

What about putting a shed with a rack inside it in your parking spot. That would be a weather protection, much harder to steal, place to store your bike, lock, helmet, and even spare tube and several tools...

Love the title by the way.

Straight line: Sometimes, SOMEtimes this helps me: use 1 gear lower than what I would otherwise use or feel most comfortable using. This puts me in just slightly higher cadence, not enough to feel awkward but enough to smooth out the pedal strokes a bit and decrease the mashing and resultant...

I don't know how the minor dimension changes from the QX100 to the Q45 will affect the folding, however try this: New quick fold procedure for transporting Q559 V3.0 in small car You may be able to fold even with fenders. lock might have to go through near the shock and might not really be...

Agreed. Is 80-90 pedal rpm low enough to bother knees or high enough to avoid knee issues? It is the forces on the joints when starting from stopped that bugs me most.

Cruzbike is the new black.

There was a deadline?

Yes, there is a stalk to mount a derailleur on - though some have commented that some sizes of chainrings fit better than others, and others suggest possible improvements to mounting angle an location of the stalk for future model years.

This belongs in this thread too...

I read Interstate as in I90! I hope you meant non-capitalized inter state rides as in from one state to the next not as in major multi-lane high-speed highway!

I can't tell if you have 1x 2x or 3x front chain ring but if you have more than one then put the chain in the largest ring before parking as that will cover the teeth of the largest chainring. @1happyreader That cover looks pretty impressive. @dule0911 You make that bike look small!

Wow that is a tough question. Close situation: I commute to work also but we have an outside bike rack that is right outside our office. I put a nylon tarp over it (maybe 2m by 3m?). Two of the corners are tied to the bike rack at the bottom and the front wheel goes in the rack. The rest...

In theory IF the exact same chain material, same quality level, same manufacturer, etc. [Then the 10 speed should in theory last longer due to forces spread out over slightly larger surface areas rubbing against each other.] Corrected by @jond: the rubbing surfaces are the same size. However...

@augiedog From your previous post "Model and Build Date" you have a Quest V1 (559 wheels). (All of the Quest and QX100 models had the same basic geometry with minor differences changing from front suspension to non-suspended front fork and "front" derailleur to dual-drive internal hub back to...

It looks like that rack should work fine for a trunk bag. However, you may want to ask if anyone has one of the racks that were made for the QX100 that is not being used. There were two styles if I recall: one was light weight foldable and the other was a bit heavier duty for touring...

As others have noted there was one on an old website that is no longer. Too bad the replacement that @hamish_Barker links to a newer google maps version in Post # 7 appears to be obsolete also. :confused:

Is he coming to the ride retreat to do some demonstrations on a Cruzbike? If so, which model...
