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.

Good choice with the yellow!

Fantastic! So cool to see the whole crew out "cruzin'"!

Maybe bolting on some new rear-dropouts would work as an alternative? Telescoping frame section? That would really change the head-angle though.

Sounds like you are having a great time! You will also not get "recumbum" as easily with the nose up a bit. Recumbum happens when you have a lot of weight on your bum (VS the seat back), and your tushy, pelvis actually, is at a somewhat oblique angle to the seat. So by nosing up the seat, you...

That video is great! :)

Regarding the specific cable/hydro brakes mentioned in this thread, they seem engineered for it. "TRP tests its Hy/Rd cable actuated hydraulic brakes to the point where rotors get red hot. With a substantial metal body, the calipers act as an effective heat sink. The company has also developed...

That is actually why Shimano didn't release hydraulic road discs until they had developed their Ice rotors with extra fins. Road bikes generally produce way more heat than mountain bikes because of the speeds. It is probably not much of an issue these days, especially for knowledgable riders.

I would think the cable/hydro might have a bit more "boil" problem, as there is much less fluid in them, and it's only right there in the calliper.

Be safe! Hopefully it will weaken a bit more before it hits.

If you are using SRAM trigger pods, I found a good method is to actually wrap your index finger around the small lever, and pull up. This lets you set the pods up much higher, as you can usually still do the big lever with your thumb.

I would be very doubtful of the value for Cruzbike to design a boom system in-between the two they currently have. Although it is quite nice, and was one of my main criteria. It is a less stiff and heavier design than that of the Cruzbike boom. With the pivots and offsets of the connection...

From the not-terribly-accurate bathroom scale method, it's around 30 pounds. The pivot clamp may loose a few ounces at some point. The seat and assembly could replaced with something much lighter. I like the durability of the aluminum seat though. I'm keeping an eye out for an old aluminum...

It's not light! Have not weighed it. The front ring is a 44 tooth narrow wide. With the 11 speed SRAM 10-42 cassette, thats about 27 to 116 gear inches. There is maybe clearance for a 48 tooth, but I think a 52 would hit the chainstay with my current chainline offset. I'm using a BMX crank with...

They are small. Definitely for luggage. I was kind of hoping the seat struts might be able to attach there, but they are smaller holes, so no.

It's alive!!!! Evening here, and not fully tuned yet, so just rode around the neighborhood a bit. Pretty nice! :)
