Have you just tried getting one from Cruzbike directly? They’ve been very good with ordering spare/replacement parts. It’s worth asking...

Oh great. Another perpetual motion machine... Gravity is a conservative force; energy is conserved. No input of energy = no additional motion. It may be that it is designed to move forward if you bounce up and down on the system. But then you are providing energy by working against...

Thought I'd throw a photo of mine into the discussion also. I think the S30 is the sweet spot of the Cruzbike road bikes, and too easily forgotten. It is great for long distance road rides. I set mine up with a 1 x 11 SRAM drivetrain; a 10-46 cassette with a 39t chainring; and a Volae carbon...

It is as Doug described. I've used both sizes (130 and 135 mm hubs) on my S30. Sorry about the earlier confusion.

For the last iteration of the S30 (without front suspension), a 28 x 700c tire will fit. 32x700c is too wide.

Agree. The S40 is fine with a 42-584 or 42 x 650b. Essentially the same size as a 23 x 700c but very smooth. Ray

Rodbikes.com has Panaracer Pasela PTs in 28 x 571 (ie., 650c). I got some and they measure out to 26 mm width. Nonetheless, they run smoother than my 23-571 Conti 4000 II Gran Prix ‘s. So far, there doesn’t seem to be a big drop off in speed from the Conti’s to the Pasela...

You may be right about leaving the 559 behind, but I fear that will make it even harder for shorter people to enjoy recumbents. Does not seem to be a good trend....

Adding the Wolf Tooth does not increase the cassette width. It simply replaces the stock 42t largest cog with a 46t (blue) one. Gets you very close to the range of an Eagle group. It’s also nice that they come in varied colors. I have a red one to add a little bling to my S30.

So, what's the speculation on the upcoming "...exciting updates and options this Fall..." for the Q45? I've been kind of waiting to see how the Q evolves since I sold my two Q559s over the past two years. I think it'd be nice to see some modifications on the seat mount and height to...

Thanks, Ben. I figured the Cruzbike community was the best shot at moving the bike quickly for my relatives. Worked out fine, and the bike has a new home.

Bike is SOLD! Thanks for looking!

The bike has been SOLD. Thanks, Cruzbike Marketplace! Ray

Bike is SOLD! Hi All, Well, this is a problematic sale brought on by the pandemic. I have a Quest at my sister-in-law's in Napa, CA (I'm in Madison, WI). She is moving and I need to dispose of the bike quickly. However, due to pandemic restrictions, I cannot get out there and she is a bit...

The bike has not sold yet, but a few buyers are considering it.

Bike has been SOLD! Hi All, For sale is a 2018 model S40, one of the last of the 1st generation S40. I bought it as a frame kit from Rose City Recumbent Cycles and built it to my specifications. It has been ridden only intermittently and has maybe at most 500 mies on it total. Overall...

Looking forward to a new Q, and saving my pennies...

Here's an older Q559 with Gator bars. They work pretty well, but do run wide. Ray

This is very helpful. Thanks!

Thanks, this is very helpful. I believe you are right that it is very unlikely to fit a skewer in between the seat ribs. Nonetheless, all of this info pretty much gives me a feel for what can be done. May take a little imagination if I decide to tackle this. Thanks again! Ray
