2018 Cruzbike Q45

[onmyback]

2018 Cruzbike Q45, in two tone orange, with about 8,000km (5,000mi). Original 1x11 SRAM drivetrain. Chain is about 50% worn. Tires still have lots of tread. Upgraded from Avid BB5 to BB7 (double adjusters) brake calipers, with new pads on the rear and about 50% left on front pads. Includes side loading water bottle cage, bell, rear fender (very tough SKS ChromoPlast) and OEM rear rack.

I found the front end flopped over, when parked. This either toppled the bike off of it's sidestand or crashed into adjacent bikes, in bike racks, so I made a Dutch bike style centering spring. It doesn't do much when going straight, so the full effect of the MBB is still available. It's easy to remove if you don't want it.

$1900CAD (approx $1470USD)

Located in Vancouver, Canada

• With a deposit, I can deliver within an hour of Vancouver or drop it off at your choice of local bicycle shop for packing (you make the arrangements with them).
• If you want me to pack it, I will add $150CAD to dismantle and pack into two regular bicycle boxes, then you can arrange pickup by BikeFlights or similar.

Love that centering spring idea. Did that have any effect on your turning? especially tight turns?

I never notice the spring, while riding. It is slack until about a 10 degree turn of the bars. I found it was important that the bracket, on the forks, was long enough. The only thing that limits tight turns is that the inside of my outer leg comes up against the head tube.
