Hi Pete, I wanted to throw in my 2 cents, i was in a similiar situation to you a few months back when i picked up my quickbeam. It was immediately the fastest feeling bike i had in terms of responsiveness and reacting to my movements. i also have a dos freewheel and mine does the same thing as yours when coasting in the stand (the cranks will move instead of free wheeling)
i don't think it's that, and if your qb has the standard cranks and bb length, i don't think it's a chainline issue either. i would look at the tires and even the inflation of the tires if it feels slow. the other big thing i want to add is that my qb came with moustache bars and a pretty high stem (i ride a 60qb but a 56 hillborne), and that's what felt super responsive in traffic etc. at the end of the season i switched over to alba bars that are a little bit lower. that change in position--either from the alba bars or the height change, really changed the feel of the bike. while the leverage etc is about the same, i don';t quite feel 'into' the bike as much as on top of if. i love alba bars but i'm having second thoughts about them on my qb, luckily i set it up so they are easily swappable back and forth. if the non-cost items are exhausted, think about a cockpit swap. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
