I can only offer anecdotal details, but I have and ride a V20 and the last edition of the S30, both with identical wheel and Dura Ace 9000 builds. While the S30 is a bit heavier and a bit less aero than the V20, my Strava times, both for climbing and on flats, are consistently a wee-bit higher...

Tinkering with these bikes is fun. My fingers are crossed for you.

Contact Cruzbike via e-mail and ask if they have what you need. Over the years I have purchased an entire V20 boom assembly to put on my V2 (which is the current S40 design), derailleur dropouts, a new headrest bar, replacement headrest pads, and, when I decided to move to the shorter...

Most modern road rims can be converted to tubeless. The important part is to use road tubeless specific tires. You can't fudge there; a road tubeless tire bead does not stretch and will stay on the rim at higher pressures, while a regular Kevlar tire bead will, if used tubeless, stretch just...

I remember our brief chat last year. While I haven't ridden any other kind of recumbent, I'm totally sold on Cruzbikes. I rode the Davis Double Century a few weeks ago, and while other DF riders were coasting to give their butts, shoulders, and hands a rest, I was able to keep motoring along...

Hi Rampa, I imagine that that would be me on the S40. It has been rolling for a couple of months now, and is a great commuter and run-around ride. I ride a S30 and V20 as well. I've only seen one other CB in Chico--a silver Softrider (is that you, by chance?) It would be awesome to see more...

I run my S40 with 42's running tubeless at 40lbs. It's my cushy, squishy, go anywhere commuter--but is also what I would ride with friends. It's a lot of fun to ride, and even with those fat tires, it's no hog. I do suffer some recumbutt with it though. I run my V20 with 25's running...

Sweet! I didn't know about the Strava Cruzbike club. Thanks, Larry.

Hi John, I am a regular V20 rider and Strava user. I also have an S30 that I ride in groups and during the winter, and an S40 that I use to commute, but I put most of my miles on the V20. It's the fastest and the most comfortable of the three. This past Saturday I did a double century in 10...

Hi Mark, Just a note to let you know that my other buyer came through and bought my Quest. But I'm sure there's one out there with your name on it, hopefully on your side of the ocean. Happy hunting and take care, Craig

Hi Mark, That sounds like a plan. I'll be in touch once I know what is happening on this end. Happy Friday, Craig

Hi Mark, No worries. I guess The Man has to be paid. I imagine you'll find something closer to you. Thanks, Craig

Hi Mark, I used 1/2 inch unpainted aluminum bar stock behind the seat (there is a picture of it) to allow me to lower the seat further back while still providing support. I will include all the original hardware, and, if you do end up being the buyer, I can reinstall that hardware if you'd...

Hi Mark, This Quest is still for sale, but I have a potential local buyer about 90 miles away. He said that he plans to give me an answer one way or the other by this Friday. I do take Paypal, yes. I'm not sure what the shipping would cost from here to England. The bike does "fold" to fit...

Greetings, I made the fenders myself out of aluminum sheet strips found at Home Depot. The rear fender strip is thicker because it doubles as a rack support. I bought the SKS stainless steel fender supports sold as separate replacement parts. The small black clips holding the fender to the...

This great riding Quest is still for sale. The price has been reduced.

This is a Quest 559 with front and rear suspension and a 1 x 10 drive train. Upgrades include: * Swapping out the original CB seat pad for a Ventisit pad. Much better air circulation. * Replacing the cranky budget-level 2 x 9 shifters, derailleurs, and chainrings for a simpler, snappier...

Howdy, I'm planning to do some light touring this Spring and Summer and am wondering if anyone out there has a set of Banana Racer or Banana Racer S bags needing a new home. Fingers crossed, Craig

Hi T. Happy hunting. Your post and me thinking through my reply has helped me realize that the Quest really is a great commuter. It's slower and heavier than my other two, but it handles the twists and turns of commuting better. Had you said "yes," I would have done it, but I'm just as happy...

Hello from California, I have a Vendetta, a Quest, and a S30, purchased in that order. I use the Quest for commuting, but because most of my miles are on the V and the S, I have at times wished for a frame like those two, but a little more upright and with rack mounts. Then along came the...
