I'm getting inspired by your post to look at reviving my Sofrider by replacing the derailleurs with an IGH setup like yours. The one question I have is whether the front suspension and slight excentricity when the front triangle is adjusted will play hell with the chain when there is no rear...

hope it is. Ask Larry to sign frame that way it will get home to Australia faster.

If it's a standard length chainstay at 496mm I should be good to go.

My current chainstay length is 490mm on no3. So..length is a question.. easy people .. stop snickering

Your V2 fork should work fine. Mine did. All you need is the boom assembly and the correct length chainstay. Contact CB directly to ask if they have such spares available. I've attached a pic.

Hope these help.

Twhbent. My chainstay us 19.5 in what length is the large u have

One thing to keep in mind with the Force AXS is the proprietary AXS flat-top chain has larger, narrower rollers that are not the same as Eagle and aftermarket 12s chains. The AXS flat-top chain has less inside clearance and requires the narrower teeth on the Red/Force cassettes and chainrings...

OK, but this would have to be a one-off for each bike, because the angle of the boom is different depending on the fit. And if you change the chainstay length, that changes everything too.

...to get 1:1 low gearing. It needs a little bit of extra chain cut-off scrap from another chain and two quick links with the stock chainstay length. The disadvantage of a wide range cassette is 2t jumps on the small cogs. One other problem with the Eagle RD is it sticks out pretty far. On my...

Yes. That is exactly what should be done. Exactly what I was picturing as I looked at my front triangle with the custom carbon cover over the top third of the wheel. You could integrate a aesthetically pleasing carbon cover with the rest of the front triangle in those six sizes. I would...

Thank you for the detailed answer!

The direct ancestor of the QX100, Quest 1.0 was delivered with a 3-chainring crank. If you were tall enough where the chainstay angle didn't become too open when setting your x-seam, this worked fine. Judging by your profile picture, you should be fine where you have the front tube currently...

Most 142*12 DF road bike drive thru axle systems(174 mm long SRAM style with a triangle SS centering washer) use a 7005 Aluminium Drive side nut with a derailleur hanger bracket which is very strong(should be soft to protect the derailleur!), and stops the nut rotating...

Warning: what follows is a true "wall of text". It is like building a truss or suspension bridge. Over very short distances like overpasses you use straight segments and pillars, over longer segments you use segments supported by a truss work of steel members above or below, and over the...

You are correct except that I have long arms. My x seam is between 48 and 48.5 " but I have a short torso. Its not like my arms are straight when I am riding, I just can't seem to get them in a comfortable position. The longer I ride the more fatigued my arms get which causes me to start...

...and the V20 forums so you might peruse them if you haven't already. I also found the folks at Cruzbike to be very helpful when I was pondering which chainstay length to go with so again, if you haven't already you might reach out to them. Good luck! The S40 is a ball to ride, but only if it...

...to create a welding jig, that would have been expensive for a single chainstay. They told me they could make the tool so that the chainstay length could be adjusted to the user specs in 1/2 inch increments prior to starting the fabrication. The hardware used on the chainstay is very common...

Thank you so much for the detailed response. I owe you one. I don’t know crap about bikes (although I’m learning) but if you ever get in criminal trouble in Kansas City please send me a note. I can help with that!

Hi David, My apologies if I'm assuming less bicycle wrenching experience than you have under your belt, but a simple answer for a simple question and all that ... The chain on your Cruzbike is a standard chain in that the length of each pair of links is the standard used on virtually all...
