Hi,
Sorry in advance for writing in english, but I guess its preferrable before swedish.
I have had my quest 305 for a few years and put over 10 000km on it. Lots of little modifications were done in that time, such as stiffening of the swing arm mounting points and adding an anti-roll bar. These mods have been presented before.
I wanted to buy a new velomobile, but money is short for a few years to come, so some investments in the quest were made.
When i bought the Quest it came with a sinner hood, which fits quite poorly from an aero perspective. It got chopped and lowered to where the rear alinged with the back of the velo. Still, I needed a better fit, so a new hood was laminated. Few pics attached.
Hood is secured with magnets. Works very well even in strong wind. Picture below is fresh hood, no magnets so the fit is quite poor.
There was a risse astro damper in the back, which has a nice function, but leaked more and more. Ordered complete sealing kit from the US, but the wrong kit got delivered after 2 weeks so I lost all hope. Damper was replaced with a damper for moped. No more worries about leakage and lost function. Ride is almost as good as with the Risse, no problems on rumble strip. 2 pcs for 80 eur. Link to the damper here: https://www.mopedrenovering.se/allt...totdampare-bak-yss-260-mm-hogsta-kvalite.html
A bit of modifications needed to make it fit, but no big problems.
Chain rings up front have been 42/65. The jump is quite big and it never worked very well, so the rear casette was changed for a 9 speed with 11-46 and a long cage derailleur. Single 65T left in front. This is sufficient for me. I live in a moderately hilly area of Sweden. Inclines up to 10% exist, but the normal is up to 5% for longer stretches. This requires some gringing and reinforcment on the body around the deraillerur.
