I am a new Cruzbike owner with a Q559 that I finally decided to buy. I have a couple questions with perhaps more to follow as I learn to ride it. I am moving up from a Cannondale Bent I (which will soon be for sale).
The first is that I seem to have three parts left over that I do not know what to do with (usually a bad sign). A picture is attached. You will also see the Cruzbike medallion that I put in the picture just for relative size. What do I do with these parts?
My second question is about tires. While I will be doing most of my riding on paved roads and paths, I have a definite need to have a tire that will do better on the packed gravel road in front of my house, and for use on the packed gravel Rails to Trails paths - a big reason for getting the Q. It just has the Maxxis 26x1 tires. How much bigger would you recommend without me changing the A-RIM DC17 alloy double wall 6061 rims that came on it. Any specific tire recommendations appreciated.
Looking forward to being an avid Cruzbiker. Thanks in advance.
