    Has anyone put an internal gear hub on a Cruzbike (Q45)?

    I have a QX100, not pictured in my profile. I use the Sturmey Archer CS-RK3. This is a "dual drive" hub. SRAM made the DD3 until 2014, when it was discontinued. The CS-RK3 is still in production. It allows for an 8 - 11 speed cassette with a 3 gear IGH. So, mated with my 44T single chainring, I...

    T50 with a Thor seat

My butt just goes numb after 8 miles in the stock position. I have cut the supports down in length, and...

    T50 seat advice needed

    I'm six foot three and 220 pounds. I ride my T-50 for commuting, grocery runs, and loaded tours. I previously had a V2/k conversion that I used for similar purposes with close to 9000 miles on it. For my riding style, I find that I've had to recline the seat by drilling mounting holes higher up...

    Current drivetrain specs on a complete T50?

    On the T-50, you'll find that the bottom of your thighs might connect with your rim brakes on the front forks. If you were to attach saddle bags for touring, like those made by Radical Designs, they would compress the rim brakes in the rear. For the geometry, disc brakes are the way to go.
