    SofRider for Sale (Seattle, WA) $800

    Questing San Antonio...

    Hello all, I took the Quest down to San Antonio, Texas, this past week. There was quite a bit of activity in the downtown area on the evening I arrived as Game 6 of the NBA finals was being played in Miami. Unfortunately, they lost in overtime, and lost Game 7 last night as well...

    Quest Bottom Bracket

    Can anyone (Doug, John, others?) tell me what type/style/model/size the Quest bottom bracket is. I want to source a replacement BB to add a smaller chain ring to the existing crank (stock chain ring on outside/new smaller ring on inside). Doug mentioned replacing it with a BB that is 5 mm...

    Anyone for a Cruzbike Trike conversion...

    Admittedly, I'm not a big fan of trikes, but I recently stumbles across this TrikeZilla conversion kit... I was really looking for something to help stabilize a tandem Adams Trail-a-Bike that my kids still ride. They are pushing the weight limit on the Adams Tandem (6 and...

    Techy question on the Quest...

    Hello all, Thanks to some advice for Charles on sourcing parts, I recently converted the double crank on my Sofrider to a triple. I live in the very hilly Seattle suburbs, and have found that the lower 22 tooth granny gear is a real benefit. Its just seems much easier to climb with the...

    Quest 451 packing time...

    So now that I've become intimately familiar with the disassemble-reassemble process of the Quest 451, I thought I would clock myself to see just exactly how long it took me to dissasemble and pack up the bike. After a nice ride on Maui this morning I returned to the hotel room and set about...

    Yesterday Oakland... today Maui

    Hello all - On Monday I took a nice ride along the Bay Trail just north of Oakland, California. Our Crew Hotel is in Emeryville, and is only about 3 blocks from the trail. I headed north up to Richmond and took in the scenery. The weather was a bit dissapointing with overcast skies, a...

    Questing Oahu...

    Hello all, I brought the Quest along with me on my Oahu airline layover today. Our hotel is located in the Ala Moana district of downtown HonoluIu. I road the Quest through Waikiki, around Diamond Head, and cruz'd by the multi-million dollar beachfront homes in Kahala. The return trip...

    Quest Rear Shock - Is it broken/defective

    Hi Guys, Thanks for all the info regarding adjusting the Quest KS 261 Rear Shock that was provided in response to my previous post. Unfortunately, I think it may be either broken or defective. When I rotate the top sleeve relative to the bottom, nothing seems to happen. It doesn't...

    Packing the Quest in Samsonite case...

    This post shows how to pack the QUEST in the newer Samsonite F'Lite GT Case. The case is available from Amazon for about $170 (US). The Cruzbike video on YouTube is for the older F'Lite case. The newer F'Lite GT case is of a slightly different design - it is not symmetrical, and is a bit fatter...

    Rear shock & traveling with Quest

    Hello all, Perhaps I could answer this question for myself if I had the Quest assembly documents with me, but I'm traveling at the moment, so feel free to chime in... I noticed that the "rear" shock compresses quite a bit when I sit on the bike, and tends to bottom out every once in a...

    SOLD - Sofrider V2, 16-speed, with extras. Near Seattle, asking $1,000

    About your mirror... Hi, I live just south of Seattle (Puyallup). I already have both a Sofrider and a Quest, so I'm not in the market for your bike, but I like your mirror. Can you tell me where you got it, or what brand/make/model it is. It looks a bit bigger than the one I am using...

    Not a Cruzbike, but still FWD - and fast!

    Just thought some folks might be interested in seeing a FWD racer. I'm not even sure how I stumbled onto this site, but it was a fun read. I'm not quite sure how he can see where he's going though. Check out the Hachi if you'd like: http://rob.bikerevuk.com/kingcycle/Kingcycle.html...

    This may be a dumb question, but...

    Rather than converting to a triple chainring, I am toying with the possibility of using my Quest 451 front wheel on my Sofrider to take advantage of the DualDrive hub. The fork width of the two bikes looks to be the same, and the only real concern I have is the change in the angle of the fork...

    Hello all, Does anyone have a good source for purchasing a new/used SRAM Dual Drive II hub. I want to build a set of 406 rims so I can run 2" Big Apple tires on my Quest. I'd prefer not to have to tear down my 451 rim for this purpose. Please help! Jeff jeffwittenfeld@gmail.com
