Pictures of Quest 3.0 29er Here are some pics. I also have an air shock.

IMHO You wont need to change IMHO You wont need to change the braking system. The 160mm front disk is perfectly adequate and the 140mm rear disk, locks the wheel very easily as its loading is low when the front brake is in action. I've just built up my Quest 3.0 29er (700c) with DT Swiss...

Lorine (lhill409) The reason Lorine (lhill409) The reason that I suggested moving the seat pan forward and extending the TFT is to get your arms into a less extended position and IMHO, having more of your legs in front of the steering head will improve stability a bit too. Your TFT is...

Return the Quest to Cruzbike? Couldn't you return the Quest to Cruzbike for a refund? http://cruzbike.com/faq#t44n2798 BTW Looking at your picture, I would recommend that you move the seat base all the way forward on the frame and then extend the TFT's leg length and give it one more try.

Q559 or Q451? In addition, the Quest 559 with its 26 inch wheels may "bridge" potholes better than the Quest 451 with its smaller-sized wheels.

Disk or V-brakes or both My Quest 559 V3.0's un-suspended, front fork came with a Avid BB5 disk brake fitted but also has V-brake mountings fitted with blanking plugs. As far as I know the Sofrider V3.0 uses the same fork but has a V-brake fitted and an empty disk mount. I hope that this...

Spin Cyclz in Petaluma? Nanda from Spin Cyclz may have a Silvio. He posts regularly on the forum. North side of the Bay Area rather than the South, so a bit of a drive from Los Gatos. Nanda Spin Cyclz Petaluma California 925-301-7043

Pinion? Maybe the folks at Pinion could be persuaded to build something? 18 gears - 636% Off-topic. JT. Have you considered building a Pinion bottom bracket 18 speed gearbox into a Cruzbike? Chain drive.

IGH - Schlumph Unicycle Drive For an IGH maybe a Schlumph Unicycle Drive would work? Though I notice that the new owners of Schlumph, Haberstock Mobility, don't seem to list the Unicycle drive on their website.

Wrist Mirror Dutch recumbent riders have been using wrist mirrors for many years. I didn't try one when I lived over there so cannot comment on how well they work.

Aimed at chain-twisting FWD bikes? I don't think that the article is specifically aimed at the Cruzbike but at bikes with fixed booms where the chain has to make a 90 degree bend around an idler on both the drive and return sides and where the chain is twisted to steer.

Quest 559? igolfat8 Don't discount the Quest 559. Its a great bike too. I own one. BROL Review (below) http://www.bentrideronline.com/?p=5420

Synchronity? In another thread http://www.cruzbike.com/i-ordered-silvio...built-it-...and-my-first-ride?page=2 , there is a discussion about the UpStand http://upstandingbicycle.com/upstand-bike-stand/ which seems to do a very similar job but may be lighter. Maybe a little more secure...

S=Z I also looked at both of the pictures. IMHO Aerodynamically, S is pretty much, equal to Z.

Saving on Customs Duties and VAT Hi Peder I wish that I had known that I could purchase a Cruzbike via you, before I bought my Quest. I paid a fortune in customs duties and VAT when I bought direct from Cruzbike in the USA. I'm in the UK.

Sounds Great! Hi Super Slim I'm pleased that your air shock is working so well. Its still pretty cold here in the UK, so I've yet to give my own air shock a proper try. I'm hopeful that we'll get a warmer day soon.
