Ok this could get complicated, you have been warned, there be angles a foot ;) Jason ankling is pretty solid and close to textbook to my eye, this was a topic I've been studying because of the way Larry and Eric Winn pedal compare to the way I do, trying to figure out why we do it differently...

How about a slow mo video instead?

Slim, I don't see how the chainstay extension will move my feet forward. When the pedal is farthest away my heel just touches it with a straight knee. The position of the bottom bracket is constrained by the length of my leg. Since the bottom bracket is a couple inches above the seat, it seems...

Wow thanks for the quick reply ratz! I appreciate the answers with explanations. The current chainstay is about 14.5" so I think it will pack fine and I want to mess with the setup as little as possible as I like the feel. I have monkeyed around moving seat and angle and boom length over...

The tightness of the boom bolt is unrelated to suspension leaking. With the bolt tightened such that the boom is secure, the boom and sleeve can still pivot about this bolt: Assuming the front carboyoke doesn't extend or compress in it's primary plane then the boom pivots about this bolt when...

I think that there is no need to make the boom pivot above the stem. The fork is the element in the front triangle that changes it's length when the suspension compresses. The boom remains rigid and the carbon fiber chainstay flexes to compensate for the retractation of the fork.

You are a strong candidate for the chainstay extension.

Now that the boom and chainstay are attached via the bottom bracket; it is time to assemble the front triangle. Install the boom into the the slider and tighten the clamp so that it pinches the compression notch. Snug is good enough for now and don't worry about the total length. The chain...

After a few rides with the new chainstay, I see a very slight improvement in overall speed, maybe 0.25 mph. I don't climb any better, though. I can still hold 16.6 mph on that same mile-long flat without rain chasing me, so that wasn't a fluke. Tried to set up a segment in Garmin Connect for...

I tried the 12-21 cassette on my Quest 1.0 - which in all important ways is identical to the QX100. Found that for me, I spent all my time shifting. Went back to the wider ratio cassette. I was using a 24-42-54 triple I built especially for this application, and I used an old SunTour derailleur...

Does anyone know how the V20's chainstay length compares to the S30's with the 150 mm extension as they affect the bottom bracket height (relative to the seat pan)?

The only difference as was indicated is the chainstay length. The sizes overlap, but a medium is the best fit in the bell curve for nearly everyone, unless you have an x-seam that is longer than 45" the bike handles better with the medium stay. If you ride a long stay typically a steerer...

...torso, etc. measurements are requested. Does anyone know what changes to a bike frame that these variables effect? Is it just the chainstay length or is there more? Also, later on the V20 page, the specs indicate infer that there is a "standard" version and a "large" versions. How does...

CUSTOM-LENGTH CHAINSTAY EXTENSION FOR BEST VISIBILITY - SILVIO Problem: Too high, too low. Two photos below show that at my height with no chainstay extension the end of the steering tube blocked my low forward view of a potential hazard, but with a 100 mm chainstay extension the handlebars...
