Hi Mark. Cool mods. I am curious what the minimum overlap slider tubes is that you have found to work. Is 4 inches enough. 6 inches? I have a foot or more on my Emeljay mod, and plan to keep it that way. But I am curious if you have found a point where it suddenly makes for a flimsy connection...

Super cool! The dark gray/orange looks great too. :)

That looks like a nice clean solution! :)

Scary! Sure glad you're OK. Did the front end make it out unscathed?

I would think a tall riser to get you something more like a Q45 type front end might be helpful. https://www.amazon.com/Wake-Extender-Handlebar-Aluminium-Adjustable/dp/B07G816GXR/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=adjustable+bike+bar+riser&qid=1554620370&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-10

I'm in Chico, and would consider adding it as a second T50. I have a modded yellow one now. Also can then give away the old Sofrider! ;) Bummer I didn't see this a couple days ago. Just got back from Sacramento on Greyhound! PM me with details if you can.

This is a one man shop, I believe. He is in Germany. He has pictures of his manufacturing process somewhere. I've seen them before. There are two models available.

I have a theory that a level seat base causes recumbutt. So what CC says will essentially be creating a "nose-up" seat base. That is, a little more cushion that will bulge up a little forward of your butt. I think it provides a better butt-seat interface in that more of you is supported by pad...

So close, but so far! You can get 38mm short stems. They were made for freeride and downhill MTB's. I have one one on my 38.1mm boom. And the bar clamp is 31.8. Might also work if the ID of your boom is similar to the OD of the extension part of a another stem, you could weld it into the end of...

So I know a few of the speedy folk here are using deep section carbon rims. Does wind effect the steering at all? With the extra strength and damping of the legs, I would think any wind twitchiness would get just get absorbed and not really matter. Is that the case?

Vendetta front-end on that isn't it?

It was a car, not a white van covered with bumper stickers? Usually the real freaks are in white vans.

You can get your seat lower on the bike if you reverse the seat mounting plate 180 degrees. It fits either way. It'll be a bit more nose up, but workable. Not only does it move it down, but back a little as well. Then your cranks can be a little higher.

I did. I also had to make a flat spot for the bolt heads to sit. But I only had to drill out the top. The big bolt that holds everything together clamps the bottom part. So I only needed the two little bolts at the top...

So I combined these into a single unit with protruding parts on either side (there single sided initially)...

This would be good for "frankensteining" with a Quest fork and Emeljay mod, if anyone is inclined. :) Would change the steering geometry very slightly. I already have my FrankenT, so this looks like a mod for someone else!

Rollin', rollin', rollin' Did you name your bike Trigger?

I went with these no name bars. They do need a 31.8 handlebar clamp stem though. They're great! 660mm wide. They fit mountain components, so your Quest stuff will mount on them...

A very worthy upgrade! :)

I think it's a more standard 160MM eye-to-eye on the new one. The original quest used a super short shock.
