Your #2 reminds me of a story ... Hi Ratz - Yes, I agree. Choosing your situations would probably alleviate the problem. But your #2 "Leave it unlocked outside a country gas station while using the facilities", reminds me of a funny story. In my office we commuters bring our bikes indoors...

can the sensitivity be adjusted? (way, way down) That looks like it would be going off constantly in the urban bike-rack situations where theft is most likely to be a problem. Someone jostles the bike while moving theirs in or out of the next rack-slot ... They will be pissed off, and so will...

Let me redefine "soon", Shahmatt @Shahmatt - "soon" was ... imprecise. Let's say a few months of regular riding. In the Quest forum you'll see some posts by me describing my struggles. The good news is that you will learn it ... but it really is a different feeling and will take some time...

no-hands does require compensation Charles is right that pedal steer soon becomes a non-issue (except for the first stroke or two). But riding no-hands does require an alternate way of compensating, since there is no getting around the fact that you are applying a torque to the steering...

Try orange electrical tape I use orange electrical tape which is a good match except very close up, and also protects against rubbing wear (cables). BK

Charles - You're a physicist, right? Charles - You're a physicist, right? I have also experienced the tendency of my Quest to high-speed wobble, fortunately without further incident. I've also noticed that this can be triggered by the transition between coasting and pedaling, in either...

Fairing speed increase Hi Charles - Three data points (for the old fairing): - There's a short hill on my way to work. I adjust speed to 15mph at a crosswalk line at the top, then roll down freely. Without the fairing I'm at 23-24mph at the bottom, with fairing 26-27. - There's...

I've ridden 2 years and about 3500 miles on a Quest 2 with an old Zzipper fairing originally designed for a BikeE. My interest in a fairing is for winter commuting in rainy Seattle; secondarily it is 5-10% faster above 15mph. But mostly I like to arrive at work without being wet from either rain...

Something else this shows me ... handlebar flex Something else this shows me is that there is a LOT of flex in the Quest handlebars. When pushing hard (uphill or accelerating), I'm pulling back on the handlebar on the same side I'm pushing the pedal. This is evident in twisting the fairing...

what's that black thing holding the front wheel? What's that black thing holding the front wheel? Is it just a support or is it a ride-able trainer? Or is it maybe not for real riding, but enough that you can work on/test/adjust the drive train?
