First Quest ride

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today I had my first Quest Ride. I got to ride Defjack Quest in chula vista, Ca.

First it was great to ride, I think I did real well for the first time.

At first I really noticed the heavy front end of the bike but that feeling goes away with speed above a couple of MPH'S.

Jack and I did a 20 mile ride on the Bayshore Bikeway, the weather was great and there was a lot of bikers on the path.

Things I noticed about the bike:

1. It was fun to ride!!!

2. I still don't like disk brakes that much.

3. The twist shifters had a lot of inadvertent shifts, they shift way to easy.

4. The shocks were great on the rough roads in C.V.

All in all a great bike to ride!

They put disk brakes on the bike to make it easy to change tire sizes and for that it's a great idea as you can run anything from 406" to 26"(559) tires.

I am going to start with a cruzbike conversion kit because I think it will be fun to build.

Steve you did just fine not many people do 20 miles on their first Cruzbike ride. I did a 48 mile ride today and found the 451 wheels are just fine for those longer rides. We had some hills and plenty of rough pavement so the suspension and gearing got a good test and both passed. I think the Quest is just a great little bike. Jack
