The whole story makes me very The whole story makes me very sad. Doping has been a huge problem in the sport and disqualifications in recent years of major riders have helped to limit drug and doping use. Stringent rules on current riders are necessary, but destroying past history of the Tour...

Wise choice with the brakes. Wise choice with the brakes. Individual feathering of the rear brake (especailly a disk brake) is very important for those fast downhill runs for safety and confidence. The disc brakes on the Quest bring a whole new level of enjoyment to riding a recumbent - so...

Way to go Maria, very Way to go Maria, very inspirational! What are you going to do when you turn the big 5-0?

I too, am eager to see the I too, am eager to see the V-Rohloff. Having ridden my IGH Quest2 for so long now, I'm spoiled. But having the gear shifter and brake lever usable with my right hand is imperative. So many times shifting and braking become one fluid motion. I will migrate to a Silvio...

Nice work Kim. Any Nice work Kim. Any suggestions for Quest touch up paint? I've rubbed off some of that great pumpkin color due to cable rub ust below the headstay.

Nice work George. Now we'll Nice work George. Now we'll need some ride reports. ak-tux, thanks for the link. I'm drooling (and dreaming) of a Silvio 2 with the Alfine/disc brake Di2 combo. I'm already spoiled with the IGH/disc brakes that comes natively on my Quest 2. I don't have the...

Having ridden my Quest 2 with Having ridden my Quest 2 with IGH extensively (and loved every second), I can only imagine how great an IGH Silvio and Vendetta migh be. Anxious to hear about your first long ride with the Rohloff.

You're a genius! Photos would You're a genius! Photos would be great.

Perfect, exactly what I'm Perfect, exactly what I'm looking for. No more grime on the back of my neck! THanks Paul.

You will really like the You will really like the Quest. I ride mine every day. I'm hoping to find a fender that will fit just under the bottom level of the rack to keep the road grime and sand from landing on the back of my neck.

I'm looking for suggestions. I'd like a rear fender for my Quest 2. Wonder if there is something out there that might mount to the stock rack on the Quest 2? Thanks.

Charles, 45 degree seat Charles, 45 degree seat angle. I've been riding Cruzbikes for 7 years and can't believe I haven't used a headrest before. It improves my 16 mile daily workout average speed from 15 to 17 mph. Riding in a more relaxed position and not having to physically hold my head up...

Headrest Pics. Since I used Headrest Pics. Since I used Velcro, I can use on my other Cruzbike.

Headrest Pics Since I used Vecro, I can move the headrest to my other Cruzbike.

I took some ideas from others on the forum and from the internet. I used a 5"x 3"x 1-1/2" piece of closed cell foam (scrap from a local kayak dealer) that I sanded to shape and velcroed to a small aluminum plate that I screwed onto a 30" long piec of 1-1/2" aluminum stock from Lowes and bent...

Tom, how's the comfort level Tom, how's the comfort level of the V vs. the Silvio on the rougher roads. I'm assuming the Silvio sucks up corrigations much better than the V?

Really like my new headrest Really like my new headrest on my Quest. Thanks for the great idea. I only needed one aluminum 1-1/2 inch bar (30" long from Lowes) that I bent similarly to yours. Put some velcro down the middle of the seat so I didn't need to drill holes. For the cushion, I used a...

Thanks, looks like I'll be Thanks, looks like I'll be heading to Home Depot for some aluminum stock. Don't know where to find a small piece of memory foam. Can't wait to put it on my Quest. You're really quite ingenious - can't wait to see what you come up with for a kick stand.

Unless outright racing, a Unless outright racing, a dual suspension when commuting in traffic would be most important to me.

Very nice. Never thought Very nice. Never thought about using a headrest. Do you actually rest your head against it all the time while riding? Bet it would help on long rides. Thanks for posting pics. How does your dog like the ride?
