    Q45 (100 miles) vs Q2 (9000) compared

    @billyk I thought I remembered seeing somewhere in the lead up to the Q45 release (but couldn't find it in the promotional emails) that the only difference to the main frame was the rear end being lengthened for stability/climbing traction and to move the rear shock mount rearward to...

    Sofrider II- repair frozen front shock?

    I have a QX100 and the conversion kit in my avatar - neither have front shock, both have reasonable sized tires and no issues with that. I would leave it. The hardest part is convincing myself that the smallest "improvement" can be just left alone!

    Q45 My first 100 miles

    @woodguy Nice work on the bike and nice work on the write up. Greatly appreciated. Re: clip in pedals. Absolutely go for it, you needn't clip in while stopped, you can always wait until moving without traffic and then clip in and clip out well in advance just like you mentioned about the...

    iQ2 Power Meter on Kickstarter

    @DavidCH My Stac Zero powermeter trainer does not have a cadence sensor but does report cadence. It has a strain gauge to report force and a speed sensor to report distance thereby can provide power. I asked the same question of the designer and he explained that our human muscles pushing and...

    DIY Double Power Grips

    Hi Giloun, Impressive! Could the same be done with aluminum bar instead? in the 87kb file it shows 6 bars. I am only seeing one on each side of each pedal for a total of 4 bars used for this project? Did I miss something?

    Best front light for Silvio 3.0

    I've seen many arguments about front lights. My personal experience and opinions include but are not limited to: Any front light needs to -give off enough light to be useable to ride at night (probably 200 lumens would be my minimum for locations where you are only occasionally going to go...

    The next generation Cruzbike?

    I love the visual response Rick! What the visual says to me is that in order to fit multiple leg length you have to have the seat pan stay in the same spot all else being equal. That seems solved by the current setup and would not change with your image. However, in order to fit multiple...

    wanted to buy - Sofrider seat cushion

    The adhesive on my kit stopped sticking recently and I have been riding it with just my body weight holding it in place and it seems to work fine though occasionally it moves a little at stops and requires a little nudge back into place. But the adhesive on the velcro is not really good enough...

    wanted to buy - Sofrider seat cushion

    Sorry not spotted. However, But I think the seat-pan and seat-back are exactly the same or so close as to not be able to tell the difference between Sofrider, Conversion Kit, Quest, and QX100 so there should be lots out there. I have a conversion kit and a QX100 and they both definitely have...

    The next generation Cruzbike?

    @Bentas If hypothetically of course you were to custom make one for someone else with all attention to aesthetics in addition to all the other details, as you did with the one in the picture, how much would it cost the prospective buyer either in $ or in parts, hours of labour, etc. (I'm not a...

    DIY headrest for Q45

    What is the braze on or screw about half-way up the black seat post? Is that for rack mounting? or is there another purpose that you know of? Where did you get the air shock. Do you know of a place that they are available in North America?

    New light bracket

    Hi Joy, Any chance you have some pictures of the bracket without the bike and/or light so I can copy it? or some dimensions and mounting instructions? (Not demanding am I?) (by the way The QX100 is starting to get a workout on the trainer, soon to go outside if Spring comes.) Cheers, Ben.

    LIKE NEW Cruzbike Q45

    Oh, I so want. But I'm betting my wife won't appreciate after November's purchase of a used QX100!! Do you have any pictures? Colour scheme? All stock components right? Someone is going to get a deal.

    [SOLD] Volae - Comfort Carbon Seat Shell & Ventist pad & head rest for sale. $300

    Hi Gary, Would this be able to be mounted on anything other than the Silvio such as the kit bike in my avatar or on a QX100? Those are what I have and neither have the type of support that a Silvio would have.

    My heart broke with my boom today

    Hi Vicki, et al. I can't really hit "Like" for what caused this thread. But thank you for sharing not only the bad news but the temporary solution, the Good Samaritan caring you received, the friendly ride, the appreciation for Cruzbike and their customer service, props to Velocity, and...

    RX Bike Sunglasses

    Prescription eyewear. I second the motion to convince someone to make a good solution that doesn't involve laser eye surgery for those who can't afford, isn't suitable or just plain would like the simplicity of glasses to correct eyesight. Need: -full wrap similar to all sorts of sports...
