    Q559 tire sizing question

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean but I am guessing that you mean that because the QX100 (which I have) has a pivot joint, rear suspension, and because it is not a top-end $$$$$ bike that there is some flex/play in the bike overall even without a front shock and you can only imagine how much...

    I love how he shows off with a little wheelie near the beginning, rides wearing a T-shirt, and especially when he bunny hops the centreline at around 4:40 at 62 km/h! Obviously having fun.

    V20 Build complete and first ride in

    Good for you. Not many can ride that long their first time out on front wheel drive.

    I was humbled today

    No excuses - if a Ferrari passes you, if a baby stroller passes you, single speed, skateboard, neighbour's dog, it is all your perspective - you were passed and therefore too slow OR you were on your bike riding - that is worth celebrating and is a celebration in itself.

    Question on V20 seat attachment

    Velcro even not considering your weight should be adequate to resist any side forces. I think the purpose of those holes may be more for the clamp than the seat. I ride my conversion kit (pictured in my avatar). The seat is secured but the seat cushion is supposed to be held on with velcro...

    I was humbled today

    Humbled - a new nickname for Cruzbikes. It can apply to us when passed or to others when we pass them. or maybe "B33: the Humble Bee - be ye 19 or 90 we've got a Cruzbike for thee, "Whether you are humbled or humbling others - this is the B" "To B or not to B33, that is the question...

    Thor Seat Mounting Bracket for Q45

    @GregB, It looks from the pictures you posted that it might be the original seat bracket, possibly mounted backwards. Greg (Thor) 's pictures may be from an earlier version Q45. These are the ones in the current Q45 manual: Even more likely as I look further - I think it is a seat mounting...

    I think I want a V20....

    Sacrilege! Not the socks and sandals - that's just comfort. The Pelso - another option. No bosses = sacrilege. There are an awful lot of bikes out there that fit the sole purpose = racing speed. And for those who race the best/ newest one you have (or are allowed to race) may be the one...

    Titanium china copy of cruzbike

    @dtseng, And how much crazy money did it cost to have an amazing looking, custom exactly to your specifications frameset made? It sounds like you are very hands on involved, did you supervise the whole fabrication? There is only a little jealousy in this corner.

    Titanium china copy of cruzbike

    @dtseng, Is there a visual way that you can show the difference in geometry between your setup and the cruzbikes that makes the difference in front wheel flop? I'm having a really hard time understanding how you would be able to change that significantly. Thank you in advance

    I count 3 Ti replies without a ride report, does that count? My Cruzbikes don't wear Ti-es.:p

    I think I want a V20....

    Do you have one leg longer than the other? Do you always lead/down with the same foot when coasting? Try the other foot leading/down (If your left foot is down and your weight resting more heavily on it like it would on an upright then I would expect it to try turning left and vice versa.)...

    S40 Underseat Rack by TerraCycle

    It does appear to be cm and appeared plenty clearance to me but speed bumps and humps vary in dimensions so I asked our friend wiki and he/she/it says the the high end of the range is 10.4mm (4in). That would still leave clearance of 4cm (1 1/2 inches) if the bike is completely straddling the...

    I think I want a V20....

    Welcome @K7baixo !! I don't have a V20 so take this for what it is worth. Yesterday I went for a ride with a friend who is a club rider of a cervelo S5 - a fairly serious racing bike. I ride a QX100 which is more of a mid-range commuter bike - heavier bike, bigger tires, aerodynamics are...
