    Has anyone tried this on a cruzbike?

    Not intentionally, no. :oops: . Doesn't seem like a Cruzbike would be as suitable as a Flevobike for that sort of thing. I never got the hang of riding a unicycle, either. There were times when I was learning to ride a Cruzbike that I did lift the rear wheel, usually when coming down a hill to...

    Spring Time - Learning To Ride Time

    I have a Quest 2.0. I've been wondering how difficult this would be to do. What motor did you use?

    Expert Advice on a Used Quest 2.0?

    Older models did. I have a Quest 2.0 that came with front suspension. It wasn't a lot of help. I replaced the front fork with an unsuspended one after a year or two. It is short, I think 125 mm, and is for road use. It's a low-end Kind spring shock. Some of us upgraded to an air shock from the...

    Selling 2015 Cruzbike QX100- LIKE NEW. $1200 / OBO

    I believe the bike is a QX100, rather than a Quest. Basically the same frameset and handlebars, with a new name and different colors. The Quest only came in burnt orange, while the QX100 was offered in dark blue, dark green, and black. You can check with Rose City, or search the forums, to make...

    Efneo gearbox

    I looked the Efneo gearbox up because of your post. It looks really interesting, if it weren't so heavy. Even has the option for 152mm crankarms. My Quest 2.0 came with the SRAM DualDrive 3-speed hub instead of a front derailleur. It's heavy, but since the weight isn't hanging off the end of...

    Brand New - Cruzbike S30 - $3,200 -sold

    Yes. When I built up my S30, I started out with the SRAM Rival rim brakes I'd had on the Silvio 1.5 it replaced. Went to HY/RD disc brakes (160 mm front, 140 rear) in early 2020.

    Cracked Handlebar Screw Section: Help Needed

    With the unsuspended front fork, the angle was 33 degrees, IIRC.

    S40 handlebars and brake levers

    The original Cruzbike Silvio, ancestor of the S40, was sold as a frameset, designed so the buyer could put their existing road bike components on it. The bikes meant to be ridden as a typical road bike would be--Vendetta/V20, Silvio/S40--are still set up with road bike components. The Q45 and...

    This question is blasphemous - V20 Seat Angle

    Someone tried a small rear wheel on their Sofrider years ago (26" front, 16" rear). Unfortunately the photos didn't survive an upgrade to the forum software the next year.

    How do I identify my specific model V?

    I'm going to say Jonathan Garcia is a pretty reliable source. The version numbers are Cruzbike's own, IIRC (and I may not). I had a Silvio 1.5 that would have been a contemporary of the Vendetta 1.5. The follow-on versions to both were 2.0. I think Silvio eventually got up to 2.2. Quest had...
