I own a Quest with rigid front fork. I rode many miles with it, but lately it is just sitting in the garage. The shock was replaced by an air one and the headset also replaced by a FSA orbit beginning this year - I didn't like the original one. The seat cushion (only the back) is a Ventisit. To...

I bought a FSA, i think the Orbit X model with sealed conical bearings. Took the bike to my LBS and in 1/2 an hour they replaced the Diatech (changed the fork race and replaced the frame cups). It is much easier to set up now than with the Diatech. I also bought a problem solver locking...

I have a friend who is going to spend a couple of weeks at Hong Kong by end January 2017. He does not ride a recumbent but is an avid cyclist. Should he take his bicycle with him or is it possible to rent good bicycles in HK? Any suggestion on clubs he could contact for local rides? Thanks...

Mr Google and Mrs Internet told me everything about headsets and how to replace them. Now it is just a matter of choosing one. I have been looking at FSA and CK models. Any suggestion? Robert H, which one did you choose for the upgrade?

Kudos to your mod! I already got the longer star nut bolt. But as I said, I travel a lot and have to remove the fork when packing the Quest. It might be just me, but I do not like the Diatech with that centering ring and adjusting clamp. It is always difficult to get the right adjustment. A...

My Quest has the conical Diatech aheadset. I do not like it. I have the new fork without suspension and built a pair of 406 wheels for travelling. When I pack it in the suitcase I have to remove the fork, and setting up the Diatech is not easy. Is it possible to replace the Diatech by...

I am really sad reading this thread; I didn’t expect this to happen in bike trails in America. I live in Rio de Janeiro and this also happens on our bike trails. There are police officers patrolling them, but you can not have an officer at every yard. You have to be alert all the time...

I had a friend print a 3D Light Mount for my Quest. It turned out so good he posted it in Thingiverse. I am sharing the idea here in case you need a light mount to attach to the front of your Cruzbike boom. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1633980

Mc Wheels, you are right, it is not the only problem. The other one is exactly with the disk brakes. I guess I would not have any problems if I had the same hubs, but the ones on the 26" (Circus Monkeys) are different from the ones in the 20" (Shimanos). I had no idea this could happen or...

Weird... Wires are no problem at all. I should have made my situation clear from the beginning. I have a Quest and two pairs of wheels, a 26” that I use at home and a 20” I use when travelling. The 20” aren’t the 451; I had a pair of 406 built because I wanted balloon tires and you do not...

Ratz, which speed sensor are you using together with the Node (hope it is a hub mounted)?

Well, I got the Node. It fits what I need. Simple, long battery life and small. Thanks Ratz and the others. Now I am on the search for a ANT+ hub mounted sensor. Is the Garmin speed sensor a good option?

When I use GPS on my cell phones, both Android and IOS, the battery drains too fast. And I do not like that bulky handlebar support for cell phones, besides they are not waterproof. This Cateye is indeed a good option, but again battery doesn't last long - kind of 6 hours. I know that hub...

I want to get a cheap, simple and reliable combination of magnet less hub speed sensor and cycling display. Something dedicated I can mount on the bike and forget about it. I only need the very basic information: speed, average speed and distance. Any suggestions?

Thanks! I have a pair of 26" wheels, 24 spokes, with Schwalbe ones. Very fast! But when travelling I have to carry the 451 wheels. The offer of tires for 451 is very restricted, so I'll build a pair of 406 wheels to run fat tires. Might even buy a pair of BMX knobby tires for when the going...

I want to buy new rims for my Quest. But do not know if the hubs are 32 0r 36 holes. I am traveling away from home and can not check it myself.

I own a Quest and can show it to any one in Rio de Janeiro, or Brazil in general, if they can go to Rio.

It would be even better if they also rent recumbents.

Are there any good recumbent bikes stores in New York, San Francisco and Denver? I'll be going to these cities and visiting bike shops comes first in my to-do list...

Everyone who asked to ride my Cruzbike was able to do it. I guess it is a state of mind. If you got so far as asking if you can try it, you will make it. Though it seems that younger ride it easier. Once I was going through a poor community and was kind of lost. I stopped to ask for...
