The molded ribs on the back of the Volae Carbon Comfort seat appear to be wide enough to accommodate the tabs on an S40. So you maybe able to avoid cutting the frame tabs if you use that seat instead of the Thor. I was just comparing the Thor Easy and Volae shells today on my S40, and will...

I use TRP Spyre’s with 160 on front and back on my S40. I’ve also used 160 front and 140 rear for a while with no problem. I just prefer the 160/160 setup.

So that was my build. A very nice smooth ride which I had for a while. I also ran that bike with a 26" x 2.3" wide Compass Rat Trap Pass tire on both front and rear. The 650b's were best for running on pavement, but the Rat Trap Pass tires were magical on crushed limestone paths and rutted...

That's what I've done on my S30 handlebar - works fine.

On my previous two builds (a Quest 559 with carbon seat and 650b wheels, and an S30), I used SRAM Rival brifters like most others do. However, I've never been overly happy with the somewhat vague shifting I got with those using a 1 x 11 setup. So I decided to try barends for the S40. I cut...

Took it off the trainer and put on the ROAM wheels for few quick photos of my new S40 with 650b wheels. I've attached a few here. The build is pretty standard. So far, I'm keeping with the stock seat, etc. I'll post details when I finish fine-tuning. The only big change is that I got a...

I've built up a S40 over the winter, and chose SRAM ROAM 650b wheels for it. Presently I have Schwalbe G-One AllAround 650b (40-584) tires on it. They fit fine, with plenty of room for wider or fenders. I chose the 584 wheel size because I wanted a slightly lower seat and access to wider...

The ”included extras” listed in the original posting above were sold with the bike. However, the parts under the “Bonus Offer” are still available. That includes the Quest 451 wheels and drivetrain as listed above. Is that what you are asking about? I was going to offer those parts for sale...

No. It was shipped out early this week. Sorry about not updating the listing. I’ll do so soon.

I initiated a conversation between us to discuss details. Have posted a few questions for you there. Ray

I agree. Try tightening the headset first. I've had similar experiences with my Q's. Good luck!

Sounds good. I’ll send a note to discuss details.

Bike is SOLD. Hi All, It is time to cull the herd a bit to make room for some new additions I have planned. Hence I am putting up my trusty Quest 559 for sale. Description: 2014 Cruzbike Quest (559) with extras Frame was obtained used from original owner in late 2015. Have used as...

I believe you are right. It does look different. Maybe a little wider?

Looks to me like mainly new color schemes and available assembled with a 1x11 groupset. The large upper cog is typical of the 1x SRAM derailleurs. The derailleur looks like a 1x SRAM with the same hanger as before. From the graphics, it looks like the derailleur is SRAM Apex 1 series, as does...

FWIW, here is a (rather poor) photo of my S30 as presently configured with the curved slider and a Volae seat. As I hope you can see, the slider does open up the cockpit quite a bit. Sorry about the cluttered photo. I need to get some clean ones of this soon. Ray

So I have had that problem with my S30 also. I am 5'7" with short legs and the handlebars end up right in my lap/gut and are very confining. I found two approaches to be satisfactory. One is to use the curved riser; it does not strongly extend your arms more but does open the cockpit while...

I suppose we're entering the "guess what this design entails?" phase of the rollout. All I note is that the photos in the e-mail do not show a Diatech headset and front boom on the top of the headset like the QX100 or Q559. Although some stem spacers appear to be there. Seems to imply a...

I ran into the same problem when I installed new TRP Spyke disc brakes on my Q. Getting the disc aligned was just outside the available range of adjustment for the caliper. I ended up putting a thin washer (roughly a mm thick) between the caliper and the caliper mount to move it over. Worked...

I have the dual-chamber A5-RR1 on my Q559. It work's well, but I can't say it is significantly better than just using the single-chamber A5-RE. Either works fine for me. Either is significantly better than the OEM mechanical version. Ray
