It depends on the set up of the seat. A more upright position would need a longer one and a more reclined position would probably need a shorter one.

I'll add my welcome and Wow that's some speedy learning. Many are white-knuckled for a bit but your speeds and technique sounds like you are a natural.

I think it is the dealers that have them and for giving out with regard to local service. Any dealers want to chime in, especially if you are in rhoffman's neighbourhood? Sorry, @rhoffman I don't know where you live. If you want to save some $ on a purchase you could also try the Marketplace...

@RojoRacing Can you post some links or pictures of yours?

@super slim I think you mean "good explanation, you must be a mother! Are you a teacher too?" :D

Since you are asking the question I'm betting on you are not the type who is so stuck on exactly the right part from the box. Therefore, cement away because -you have the part now and don't have to wait, -you don't have to negotiate, argue, find a bill of sale, ship anything back, etc. -you...

Thank you, that was a great explanation and now I understand. Double bonus.

@Balor I am having a difficult time seeing that in my mind. Can you draw a comparison picture? I would think that shorter cranks would put your knee closer to you, but I'm probably misunderstanding.

Just out from Bend It Cycling is the new MagnaShield helmet. https://www.benditcycling.com/Recumbent_Gear.html Designed with the recumbent in mind and with feedback from Bend It customers, it includes the following highlights: -Gray shield AND a yellow (low light) shield, -Magnetically...

Things I learned from receiving my used QX100 from @joy . Pipe insulation is your friend - it fits over tubes nicely, ziplock bags taped or twist tied to the frame or box so it can't move and cause damage. Separate bags for quick releases and small parts with a label included in each bag, tape...

I have used standard Shimano and knock off spd pedals and with the plastic platform like you too. I used the platform for riding the mountain bike in the winter, eventually I found that I wasn't using the platform at all anymore because I was clipping out so automatically that I never have an...

I agree with what @Robert Holler said earlier "V = racer, S40 = Tour/Commuter". Both the new S40 and Q45 have many mount points for fenders, suspension on the Q makes it almost easy to go down curbs - nothing Cruzbike goes up them without being able to bunny hop but every model is well worth...

Glad your reflexes, a few angels, angles, and saved you from the fall and the Anglish or is that anguished driver refrained from overcoming you.

@Kenneth Jessett Thoughts? Always! :D Unclipping is hazardous IF you are not comfortable with it. You should always gain skills to a level of SAFETY that you are comfortable with BEFORE joining traffic. When you are comfortable, THEN being clipped in is great - a huge benefit to a Cruzbike...

Hi Frank, I remember reading about people having difficulty finding sources for it or worrying about ordering through unknown websites. Where and how did you purchase the shock if you have a source you trust or that delivered without any issues. Cheers, Benphyr.

@onmyback Thoughtful, informative post for us commuters. Maybe we can mount a standard rack or standard front rack on the rear - it would be unsuspended but it would provide extra mounts for the fender. If anyone has any other suggestions on mounting rear fenders securely on Q frames...

Even more important with hands (as arms have less mass), the keeping the rest of the body warm - Because: when the body gets cold it restricts blood flow to the extremities (survival instinct) but you want to keep blood flow there so you have to manage the warmth to ensure heat is going to the...

That would hinder more than your escape! :eek:

Keeping the wind off is the most important part of the equation in the cold. Simple handlebar guards that keep the wind off of the hands means that I can wear XC full finger but very ventilated gloves down to -10C but without it is more like 0C!

I think he was saying that the computerized timing (like machine-gun through the propeller it seems to me) would choose when to shift based on current torque levels, pedal position, and possibly other factors and would do it VERY quickly - that is, multiple gear change at once would be so fast...
