 Dialing in the Quest

Setting up the Quest;
Made a short test ride on Twin Ponds... The eccentric crank feels sublime. The bike seems to climb easy!

Making adjustments to the seat and handle bar position in order to deal with a slight interference issue... My right knee contacts the Dual drive control mounted on the handle bar at the top stroke. Another solution could be to use a different stem or handle bar.

Later, I Spent the afternoon on a School bus reading the various manuals associated with the Quest, including setup and fine tuning details for the SRAM dual Drive and Avid Disc brake system.

The Qring crank has 3 positions of adjustment and the factory pre-set position is the typically optimal position. That initial set-up seems beneficial so I am leaving well enough alone for the time being.
