I love this about Cruzbike: Discussion, possible solutions, more discussion, the company listens and whenever possible responds by meeting the needs of the Cruzbike Tribe. Other recent examples - foam wedge to try different shoulder / neck position, full-size shock absorber for Q45...

And the Q45 shock is at a more relaxed angle. Vertical travel at the shock mount might be more like 22mm Qx100 47mm Q45

I remember seeing the weights elsewhere however could not find them so I weighed the shocks I have for comparison. My kitchen scale is probably +- 10g but the relative weights of shocks should be pretty accurate - same digital scale, in same hard, flat location, weigh one then replace with...

Notes to those changing the shock and/or adjusting the pivot on the QX100 (not sure if this applies to Quests or Q45): -When tightened down hard the bolts pinch the shock/pivot slightly giving a little friction to them so they do not move completely freely. It is very little and doesn't seem...

Without a picture it didn't happen. Proof: Same picture - bigger:

@jond The new Q45 has a full-size 165mm shock so 40mm travel. I have the QX100 and the shock is a 125mm so only 20mm travel. I took a ride last night after doing the switch. It was my normal commute so I knew what to expect and when I got back the o-ring indicated 14mm of the 20mm total...

I finally did my swap for my QX100 from the stock coil spring shock to the AR5. The stock shock was not functioning properly. I could not increase/decrease tension on the spring and it had a gap in motion from fully extended down close to 1 cm on the shock travel that it there was no tension...

(@LarryOz) Hey Mr. testing, Have you tested and quantified how much "the flag does not slow me down that much"? :rolleyes: And, there are a few pictures of Jim and Maria's S40s without seat pads are they riding nude seats? Or swapping the pads out or something?

Snotgurgle's nose would almost touch the front tire. Must be a gnomes across the finish line.

Or a smaller motor with the same torque. Or the same motor with larger torque. Any combination. Its a win-win. No where to go but for a ride.:D

You have my respect for making it work with a Sofrider. As for racers, they usually have every upgrade imaginable. Considering the different shapes and sizes of people I think it may be more feasible to offer the suitable Thor seat with a matched size as an upgrade over the standard one size...

And conversion kit to a 29er or fat bike! That would be sweet.

Rhode Gear - So many wonderful companies are no longer around. I have a trunk rack from them. All the best ones seem to be copies of ones they invented or perfected. Back to the topic - @velocio how would the one you pictured by Rhode gear avoid the potential for locking your steering by...

@yangmusa Your avatar picture makes that Sofrider look like a kids toy!

Brakes - necessary, new ones - good, Disc - even better.

@Tor Hovland Would you like an upgrade? This is in your quadrant... @t.c103 Nice looking bike!

Calling Atlanta area Cruzbikers. Anyone want to check this one out for me? Seems like a pretty good deal if it is what it promises - older, good components, in good shape, but there is no way I can check it out from Ontario.

The reverse direction look like it would be even more interesting! Might have to sit on the handlebar to get a little traction :eek: . Hmm, wonder if that would work? Unicycle with training wheel? (@trplay my mind keeps inserting the Moose theme here.)

@super slim @LarryOz Slim you beat me to it. I can't see the pictures either. I'm using an iMac and Safari. Maybe we just need to be donors.

@super slim (@ratz) Found it! In the 4th picture of the last set of his pictures at the bottom. This one (oops can't figure out how to get the thumbnail to go here):
