    Pins and Ramps - specs

    I run a double chainring 18T and a 39T on my Quest 559. The 18T to climb mountains and the 39T most of the time. The 39T is a Qring to be used on a single speed bike, thus it doesn't have any pins or ramps and sometimes doesn't shift so well from the 18T to the 39T. I thought on screwing a...

    On the Quest front shock bottoming out

    My Quest 2.0 white logo front shock was bottoming out. Very unpleasant to hear and feel that "clank". Following this thread: http://cruzbike.com/quest-2-front-shock-adjustable advises I removed the steering column and found the round plug inside the fork. The round plug was...

    Quest stem quick release

    Where can I get a stem quick release? No, I didn't loose it. The Quest comes with two, but the guy who sold me his Quest said it came with only one and now it is my problem to get the second one. Of course I can use a bolt and nut, but then the purpose of being simple to disassemble...

    First time with 451 wheels

    Bought a Quest 451. But didn't receive it yet :(. This is the first time I will ride 451 wheels. Considering ideal conditions (no harshness, no wind, same weight etc), to run a 451 at the same speed as a 559 under the same pedal cadence, the 451 will require a higher gear. But will the...

    How much may I recline my seat without having to install a headrest?

    I want to improve my SR aerodynamics but not so much to need a headrest to hold my neck. I was riding it at about 50 degrees without any issues. Now I lowered it to 43 degrees and can't stand the neck pain after riding around 100 km.

    May I remove the tab which holds the kickstand?

    May I remove the tab which holds the kickstand at the Sofrider swing arm, or is it part of the swing arm structure and removing it might cause a failure?
