    How Low Should I Go?

    I've had my Quest since October and have managed to put a little over 400 miles on it through this harsh Winter. My riding skill is now acceptable, and I can ride for hundreds of yards with no hands, so I'm wondering now about seat angle. I have reduced it some while I was learning to ride the...

    This is a CruzBike Quest

    During the Thanksgiving holiday I was describing my Quest to some family members who had never seen one and I wasn't doing a very good job. I returned home on Sunday and leaned my iPhone up against a parking lot light with the video camera running to make a quick video showing the Quest. It gets...

    Wahoo Blue SC Mounted on Quest - Not Ideal

    I picked up a Wahoo Blue Speed & Cadence sensor from my local Apple store yesterday. Based on info from the Wahoo web site, it seemed like the Blue SC should work on the Quest. It does, but the mounting is not ideal and I can't tell if my unit is defective or if they all operate like this...

    Need Tire Recommendation For Quest 559

    Howdy, I have been considering getting some new, wider tires for my Quest. I have only had the bike for about a month but have put about 220 miles on the current tires and I'm thinking I'm just not a skinny tire kinda guy. There is not much tread on my current tires and today I got a flat tire...

    Wondering about screw sizing for one of the Quest's rack screws.

    There are two screws that attach the Quest's rack to the seat tube through what appear to be welded nuts of some sort. One of those two screws came to me with the Allen wrench flats "pre-boogered" (an aviation maintenance term) to the point that I cannot get the screw tight enough to keep it...

    For You, Is Left Right or is Right Right?

    As I continue to learn safe riding techniques on my Quest, I seem to run various experiments to try and figure out what are the best techniques for me. On the subject of starting off, I instinctively tried using my stronger leg (the right one) as the one on the pedal in the power position while...

    First Ride On My Brand New Quest 559 -- I'm No Natural But I Think I Can Do It!

    Well, I received my new Quest 559 late in the week and had it assembled and adjusted for riding today. It rained all day until around 3:30 PM. I had many concerns (have fewer now) about learning to ride the Quest because I am 54 years old, 6'1" and am long time out of shape at 255 lbs. I have...

    Assembled My New Quest But Have A Few Parts Left Over

    My new quest arrived today and I have assembled it and am down to final safety checks. While I wait for the velcro to achieve a good "stick" to the seat pan, I figured I'd post this message to see if someone can tell me what these 3 extra parts are supposed to be for. As you can, hopefully, see...

    X-Seam Sizing Specifically On The Quest

    I'm 6'1" tall and, using several x-seam measuring techniques, have a 46" x-seam (45.75" if I use the exact reading) which is the max recommended for the Quest with 26" wheels. Though I won't be growing anymore at 54 years old, I'm wondering if it's risky to buy a bike for which I'm on the max...

    How difficult is it to hold your legs up?

    Howdy! What are the abdominal strenght requirements like? So I'm looking at these Cruzbikes and thinking about getting myself a Sofrider. I have watched many of the youtube videos of people learning how to ride, etc. and it doesn't look particularly difficult for them to hold their legs up...
