I critique Tom Traylor with great trepidation - he's a first class designer who's accomplished great things - But I can't get his 4 inch trail - 65 degree head...

I don't understand. Why would it be a shame? I don't have a Cruzbike just yet, (so help me out here guys) we don't have to destroy the donor bike right? And,...
tony, the stylyx looks perfect for a low-seat cruzbike. with an aluminum frame it would be light. and with the long wheelbase and the seatpost/fender already...
Well Jack, I might have to agree with you on the Stylyx... Nice low cross bar, but the website's not helpful about materials and weight. On the other hand, I...
This is the same swing arm that I have, you can see it in the "Y-Lo" photo album. The good news is you can get a pretty low seat height using this, if you...
Jeez, Dennis, Those are better pictures than I've been able to find anywhere. Mine is the K2-3000 type, and so are the ones on Ebay. There is an extension...
Dennis, I spent quite a few hours Wednesday with Tom Traylor discussing all these aspects of the MBB FWD handing. Two of Tom's bikes that he rides regularly...
When I saw Tom's bikes in the metal, they were surprisingly small, with 20" front wheels on some. It may be difficult to assess the head angle from a picture,...
Thanks for the reply John. I did see that Tom Traylor's carbon bike has a steeper head angle than the one in his plan drawing. Also I noticed that the head...
Hi all, Has anyone tried using a quick-release type of hub? How can I extend the hub/axle width of a quick-release type front wheel to fit the cruzbike rear...
Hi Dennis, You would use a rear axle mounted in the former front wheel for this, the same as is done for the kit now.You'll need a 146mm long by 10mm diameter...
The narrow profile cones are provided on a 3/8 axle. I have yet to find a quick release rear axle that uses a 3/8 thread. Please let me know if you do. Thanks...
I wrote a reply 2 days ago but for some reason didn't get posted. anyway, sounds quite complicated to replace the axle. maybe i'll just try to bend the stays...
