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

    @nobrakes I've been hankering for some funk lately. Any chance you have some to share?

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

    Very nice cover conversation to disguise the topic of the conversation for this thread. I wonder how many of us Cruzbike riders, regulars, wannabes, etc. are also musicians? I play trumpet (2% professionally = I get paid for it and 98% amateur and volunteer = non-paid! ((Remembrance...

    THE NEW Q IS COMING

    And wishing for the front triangle to be a direct swap and available for purchase as an upgrade for (my) existing Q and for those of us less likely to ever finish a Emeljay mod.

    2008 Silvio

    Gorgeous! Will, do you have any pictures of how the fairing / windscreen attached? I have a windscreen without attachment kit but can probably whip something up, especially with the encouragement of pictures. Yours looks especially nicely done so I'd like to copy if you are ok with that. Or...

    Comparison Chart of Past Cruzbikes

    I support the notion that there should be a historical wiki or at least chart. One of the few things lacking in information sharing is a repository of easily accessible information -- especially for the curious, potential buyer, new buyer, learner -- making this information easily available...

    Child trailer experience and suggestions

    I'm quite sure that you will find the Wike better than Thule as Wike has been perfecting bike trailers for decades (now expanding to a few other products) whereas Thule is high end roof racks, then back racks, trailers - it is not their reason for existence. If you can get the Wike you will...

    Child trailer experience and suggestions

    I think that if you send pictures of the rear axle dropout (taken from the left side) to Wike you will probably get confirmation of whether the drop hitch solution will work for the V20. If it won't work, I would not be at all surprised if they made you up one to send with your order - they are...

    Child trailer experience and suggestions

    Hi Bazzawill, Here's a pile of food for thought from my experience (your results may vary) hoping this helps. I have used trailers for hauling children, lumber, voting signs, wood chips, metal recycling, etc. For basic function any used one will work, just check that all connectors work...

    New to me Q 559 & some questions

    Welcome Allen (Shep), I can't answer most of your questions personally since I have basically only used my cruzbike conversion kit with mountain-bike frame (see my avatar - an old, old Cruzbike "version"). But I can say that the touring/commuting rack has received pretty high praise from those...

    New S 40 build

    Hi Joy, Have you seen this one where Leif discusses changes he has made including tire choice? http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/s40-wow.11984/page-3

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Too bad extra heat from the engine can't keep it warm under the hood.

    Qty 2 - Kickr version1 For Sale

    Decent out of home accommodations 30 minutes away = lots of distance for riding without numbers of cars. I guess it all ties in with the 3 laws too, right?

    Qty 2 - Kickr version1 For Sale

    You are going to make someone happy with those even though the math says you can pay for a lot of hotel with $475*2=$950 or whatever the final upgrade cost difference is between new quieter trainer and the for sale Kickr. Hotel or rental house or ? could be for the parents or for the bikes...

    What fenders to go with S40?

    To avoid the cables or disc brake calipers or any other physically not moving obstacle, most metal rod supports can be bent to go around them. I have one that goes around a front brake caliper on my mountain bike that is bent like a relaxed capital "L" with the very top of the "L" at a slightly...

    FS: CRUZ Quest QX100 559

    If this is in fact an QX100 the deal is awesome. If a Quest 559, still a good deal depending on what version, how old and specific condition of components depends on how good of a deal. Photos would be good and whether shipping is an option ($75-$100 roughly for shipping should get you...
