From the V20c preview emails, we get a glimpse of the new CB carbon seat for the V and the S40. Since it fits those two, I’m guessing it would also fit my S30. The carbon seat has always been the weakest link in their road bike designs in my view. The new one looks much better, and I want...

This bike is SOLD.. Thank you for your interest! This bike was obtained new from Cruzbike in mid-February 2021. This is the same model as presently described on the Cruzbike website (www.cruxbike.com/products/q45) This bike is essentially in its original condition, with a few minor...

Initially, I replaced the Q45 OEM spring shock with a KindShock A5RR1 air shock. The KindShock was used by several of us on the old Quest series and worked well there. Even with a positive chamber pressure up to 160 psi (absolute max is 180 psi), the Q45 feels somewhat soft and a little bouncy...

So I've only had my neon orange Q45 out on short trips in town to shake it down and wait for Spring weather. It's been amusing to see that the bright orange color seems to attract comment and inquiries, more so than the bike geometry. In one case, two women yelled from across the street that...

After assembling my new Q45 to the standard design and specs (1st photo), I've pursued several changes to make it closer to where I'd like to be when Spring blooms (we expect more snow tomorrow...). Here is the original in-workshop evolution with a list of specific changes I've made, mainly...

I'd very much like to lower my seat a bit on a 2021 Q45. Am looking for one of the short seat brackets. In the attached photo it is the one on the right, about 1 inch high compared to the larger bracket, which is about 1 - 1/2 in high. If you have a short bracket that you're not using and...

I was looking for a thru-axle adapter to mount my new Q45 on an indoor trainer, and so had to determine the specifications for the thru axles used. As best I can tell, the axles' sizes are: Front (drive): M12 x 1.5; length = 177 mm; 12 mm diameter; 1.5 mm thread Rear: M12 x 1.5; length =...

I was able to get some time this weekend to assemble my new Q45, and thought I'd show the first picture of one here. The build went smoothly following Robert's assembly video for some details. There were no serious hitches, but I did note that several threaded holes (especially for the rear...

So, what's the speculation on the upcoming "...exciting updates and options this Fall..." for the Q45? I've been kind of waiting to see how the Q evolves since I sold my two Q559s over the past two years. I think it'd be nice to see some modifications on the seat mount and height to...

Bike is SOLD! Hi All, Well, this is a problematic sale brought on by the pandemic. I have a Quest at my sister-in-law's in Napa, CA (I'm in Madison, WI). She is moving and I need to dispose of the bike quickly. However, due to pandemic restrictions, I cannot get out there and she is a bit...

Bike has been SOLD! Hi All, For sale is a 2018 model S40, one of the last of the 1st generation S40. I bought it as a frame kit from Rose City Recumbent Cycles and built it to my specifications. It has been ridden only intermittently and has maybe at most 500 mies on it total. Overall...

Hi All, Since selling my old Q559 I’ve been trying to find a good bike for riding poorly maintained limestone trails (often rutted and smallish potholes). My S40 doesn’t make it, even with soft 42 mm tires. Looks like I need suspension. My CB options seem to be: a) get a Q45; b) repair and...

Bike is SOLD. Hi All, It is time to cull the herd a bit to make room for some new additions I have planned. Hence I am putting up my trusty Quest 559 for sale. Description: 2014 Cruzbike Quest (559) with extras Frame was obtained used from original owner in late 2015. Have used as...

Hi. I’ve been following the forum for the past few years, and thought it was time make a small contribution. Please excuse the long narrative. My back story (skip if you wish). I’ve kept a V2 Q451 Quest, converted to a Q559, out at my in-laws on the west coast for the past two years, and...
