I'm trying to get the seat I'm trying to get the seat just upright enough to keep my neck happy--about 50 to 52 degrees on my tadpole trike. Nothing I do seems to get the seat more upright than 45 degrees. I can't quite get all the variables to line up. I'm 5'5", x-seam around 40.5" or...

Is there documentation anywhere of exactly how to set the Quest seat to get the desired angle? I found one post where someone mentioned inserting the seat tube 3" (I think) to get angles of 47, 52, and 57 on his wife's bike. But I tried it, and didn't get the angle I was looking for. I had...

Quest 451 I've had my Q451 about a month. I've felt a lot more comfortable learning to ride a FWD-MBB bike with a lower seat height, and lower bottom bracket relative to the seat. My 13-year-old son, with me giving him a few pointers ahead of time, caught on to the balance of the bike quickly...

@Abuelo I've had the pleasure of working with Jan for nearly 25 years. Seriously considering the 20-mile option at BBB. We may even bring the Kettwiesel so my husband can ride the Tour de Grand. I never saw a Cruzbike in person until mine arrived a month ago. Met a guy from the Tupelo...

Slow but steady Rode a little over eight miles today, my first time to try the Q on one of my regular road routes. Swapped out the mountain bike platform pedals for PD-M324s--clipless on one side, flat with Power Grips on the other. Rode part of the way with one foot in the Power Grip, the...

@Abuelo I might just have to try that. My kids' pediatrician rode it last year and had nothing but good things to say about it (other than the heat). It would be nice to meet another Cruzbiker, too! We're also new Kettwiesel owners, having bought a used one recently. ...It just occurred to...

Another newbie I've had my Q451 about three weeks. I had the same problem with the handlebar twisting the first day or two, but I may not have had mine tight enough. I try to get out for 20-30 minutes every day to practice. I've graduated from the school parking lot, to the half-mile paved...

They do Andrew, Rotor does have instructions for setting up Q-rings on a recumbent. I used them when I put Q-rings on my tadpole trike. Try http://www.rotorbikeusa.com/pdf/Q-Ring%20Recumbent%20instructions.pdf .

Having a different problem When I put my Q451 together a couple of weeks ago, I could find only one washer per assembly. The bolts are so long that even when they're tightened fully, there's still noticeable play in the seat. It rattles when I get on and off the bike. Have I mixed parts up...
