Way to go, Larry

Thanks for this information. Now, I need to figure out where the clamping pivot axle point might be located. Sounds like good routine maintenance plan. I also recently discovered the difference between the two types of SPD cleats. I have the road bike cleat but will give the mtb cleat a try soon.

I use SPDs with no problem. I did put a dab of oil on the pedal contact spots. I also use a flat pedal on one side and the spd on the other. I flip back and forth. I do seem to want the cleat farther back than it will go. Lots of folks here use Speedplay Frogs

Thanks, I'll read the thread.

So, could I leave the 559 on the rear and change the front to a 451? Use a 42 x 10-42 and upgrade the shock also. I think I'll change to trigger shifters instead of the twist grip shifting. The grips keep separating just a tad.

Thanks for that info and the Bluetooth catch. I'll check out the 505. I am only cycling in the US so I have no issues at the moment with only that map. You make some excellent points with explaining the differences.

I enjoy reading your posts. I do not have a setup for zwift riding. I am living vicariously through Team Moose.

I am contemplating purchasing a GPS unit and have been looking at the Magellan 315 which you can get from Amazon for about 100$. I am a basic touring cyclist. I go out and ride and do not want to get lost. Places that I ride in Ky, at times, there is no cell phone service. I only use basic...

Glad you are basically ok and hope you heal quickly. I was telling my sister earlier tonight that a fall from a bent is easier than going over the handlebar.

I participated in a local ride (26 Mar) Pedal and Play in Paradise, Punta Gorda, Fl. The weather was fantastic. The local bike mechanic said he has just built a S30 for someone. He also said he had never seen so many pieces and parts. The ride also had 2 Encores and 3 velomobiles and 2 trikes...

Has anyone tried this stuff? You don't have to remove the chain to clean and rewax. You re wax the chain with a stick wax. It looks like a deodorant stick. The video is pretty simple. Seems easier that melting wax in a crockpot...

For those that use the Sportwing carrier. I contacted Reese about replacement rubber straps. Mine had broken and I'd been using just some Velcro straps. I received the below info: The Sportwing bike carrier is sold through our sister company Cequent Consumer Products. I will leave their...

I changed my front tire after reviewing the video done by Trplay. Excellent video. It is the second time changing my front tire and was easier this time. The valve stem was leaking. Luckily, the flats have happened where I can change the tire in my garage. The more miles I ride the more flats I...

The helmet is now an extra 25% off until 3/20. Only available in size small which I wear. Brings the cost to 89.94 with free shipping. What a deal.

I cut the boom using a pipe cutter a plumber friend of mine owned. I read somewhere on the forum the boom/slider is sized for 6'2. It is easier to cut the boom for shorter folks than it is to supply another boom for taller.

I finally cut my boom. I've been riding my S30 with the boom about 15 cm longer than recommended by Cruzbike guidance. I cut 6 inches off. The bike also got new grip tape. The grip tape always gives me fits since I don't wrap many handlebars. I did watch the video by Ratz. Loved the music. I...

Now, that is an option.

Yes, I haven't done it yet. I am leaning towards a 1 x 10 or 11. I've been riding my S30.

My sister is about 5'2". She has tried my Q559 but isn't comfortable riding for long since she can't flintstone. Both of her feet do not touch the ground at the same time. I thought maybe someone might have an idea or two. She has ridden around the block but hasn't leaned back in the seat. I...

That makes perfect sense. Duh on me.
