Response time was good when I ordered mine. My e-mail provider rejected emails from thorseat.eu before they ever got to me, so Greg had to use his gmail account for our correspondence. You might check your spam folder, just in case.

The stock riser on my Quest (V2, originally 451) is about 10" long. I bought the bike new from Cruzbike in 2014, and the riser is one of the few parts I haven't swapped out. I don't know if the Q559 would have come with a longer riser, since the Q451 was sized to fit in a suitcase for travel, or...

If it's the same one I have, it comes with a couple of different tops and adapters.

I was the first IT person at my current employer, 28 years ago. They had been sharing an HP minicomputer with another company in the building, and had just moved over to their own newly-released AS/400 midrange, model B10. I found out years later that the CEO only thought they'd need me for 6...

:emoji_joy::emoji_joy: LOL @super slim. No worries, I know you speak Down Under English. :emoji_upside_down: I am a mother; the kids are 21 and 18. I've helped teach children's choirs, mostly 8- and 9-year-olds, at church for 30+ years. So you're right on both counts. Programming an IBM...

Let's say you shorten the cranks 20 mm. When the pedal is nearest you, it's now 20 mm farther away than it was before, so your knee isn't as bent. When the pedal is farthest away from you, it's 20 mm closer than it was, so your leg won't be as fully extended as it was before. But you need to...

That's why I cobbled one together myself. Most of the neckrests I found online range from $100 to $140--more than I paid for the seat. The Thor neckrest looks very nice, though, and I'm still considering it.

Very true. I have, and it might. But for me, the advantages of the upside-down position so far outweigh the desire to lower the hands.

And we missed you at BBB this year! I haven't made it to any of the Tuesday- or Thursday-night rides this summer, for various reasons. Hoping to get to the Encouragement Ride in the next week or two, once I have the full complement of chainring bolts again. Would be glad to hear it. Yes...

Took the S30 out for 47 miles Saturday morning, at the Bikes, Blues & Bayous ride in the Mississippi delta town of Greenwood. The seat was a good fit, and the DIY neckrest worked well. My hands felt a little high, and the handlebar a little too wide, at that riser height. I'll probably look at...

The riser was a good fit. There was just the right amount of steerer tube--about 1 1/4" to 1 1/2"--for it to clamp on to, no cutting needed. The brand the LBS uses is Delta. Not sure of the original length.

Riser added last week, and handlebars moved forward a comfortable amount. I still have room to cut the riser down another 5 to 10mm if I need to. Made a neckrest this morning out of 1/16" x 1.25" aluminum bar stock from Lowe's. Repurposed the cushion and mounting bracket from the suspension...

The LBS had a stem riser in stock, but it's silver instead of black. The mechanic offered to do a test fitting of the riser to the S30, no charge, before ordering the black one. Looks like it'll work. Should have the black one in and installed by the end of the week.

Here's an exhausting...er, exhaustive :emoji_wink: thread on the subject of Q-rings to get you started. Briefly--yes, they'll work, even with a SRAM Yaw FD. Orienting them is different than on a DF. One recommendation is to pair a 52T regular Q-ring with a 36T QXL (the more ovalized version)...

The requested photo:

Sure, I'll do that tonight. I could only find one that seemed truly natural; the position I chose is sort-of natural. By the measurements on the Thor web site, your XL seat is 5.3" (13.5 cm) longer than my S seat in the D-dimension, and 4.5" (11.5 cm) longer in the E-dimension. That's bound to...

The upper recurve on my size S starts just above the second large hole in the frame, about where the lower screw for the headrest clamp goes. My shoulders are a good 2" (5 cm) farther forward than with the stock seat. By height (65"/165 cm), I fall on the line between small and medium. @Greg...

Shimano PD-M324. I have them on both my Cruzbikes, set to the easiest possible clip-out. Have never had unintentional clip-out. I use the single-release cleats rather than the multi-release.
