    Hit a nerve with this guy on youtube comments

    @RojoRacing I saw the same youtube video with comments. Thank you for replying as a Cruzbiker and diamond frame biker with huge amounts of experience on both. I was confused by this post at first until I realized you were quoting someone else. Could you add the heading identifying the...

    Stop the flop

    @Ross Jantz Am I seeing correctly that you are using something to lock the brakes when parked? Can you elaborate? Cheers, benphyr.

    What fenders to go with S40?

    Thanks Bill K. One clarification from riding face-down cycles (err diamond frame)... water/yuck spray from the rear wheel has plenty momentum to get the whole back and rear of head/helmet when riding diamond frame so it certainly will be hitting your head if you don't have the fender go at...

    What fenders to go with S40?

    Those are absolutely gorgeous. I have looked at them myself and wish they could serve both fashion and function but my conclusion is as follows: As a commuter who rides in all weather and only finds alternate transportation if cars are sliding on ice/snow or > 4" fresh snow (mountain bike...

    Shimano GRX dedicated gravel groupset

    Function before Fashion thoughts: If the only issue is the vertical gap between the front derailleur and the large chainring couldn't one tape on an extension to the bottom of the front derailleur, maybe chloroplast or something that would hold a vertical flat surface just big enough to keep the...

    Our Three T50 Builds, and Maybe a Sofrider Retro-fit

    Nice bike! I like how you see challenges that many would balk at and you step up to the challenge and take it in stride. How much clearance does the rack have over the rear wheel?

    Q series wheel sizes?

    Someone has put 650b wheels on a Q but I don't remember the thread right now. It was a pretty sweet looking bike if I recall.

    Preferred method to transport your Cruzbike?

    The Q series can be folded up significantly in seconds. (Fold up tiny if you take them apart for travel but that is a more involved process.) My QX100 I can take off the rear wheel (1 quick release) and rotate the rear stay (1 more quick release) under to the front in a few seconds. For the...

    RojoRacing Video edits

    Wow, at full speed I thought they were pigeons (~1 lb) which is bad enough. Turkeys (5-10 lbs up to 20lbs) could give a serious headache! (Hitting a turkey :emoji_bicyclist: hurts as much as being hit by a turkey :emoji_golfer:. :D )

    When I take a fast corner, more often than not, I misjudge the speed, traction, etc. and have to adjust mid-corner. I just don't see that at all in your video Jason. Amazingly smooth curves and transitions. These demonstrate what you were mentioning last week about what is required to descend...

    Q45 Across America

    @woodguy Awesome pictures, report, blog - enjoyed every bit of it. A couple quick curiosity questions: With the seat post upside-down did you ever have it rubbing on the tire? What angle is your seat with that configuration. Do you have a build thread on the Thor seat attachment and rack...
