    modifying S40 to lower seat angle?

    That is most definitely NOT an actual S30. You can mainly tell because it says "Silvio" right on the side. ☺️

    modifying S40 to lower seat angle?

    The S30 was a once-and-only frame. There is only one S30. The other white frame is the Silvio, that was retrospectively named (kind of by accident) the "Silvio S30" much after the actual S30 was built. It was only the "Silvio" prior to this. The S30 replaced what was the Silvio. But those older...

    Bottom Bracket Replacement?: 2023 S40

    Give it a shot. You might only need to remove one spacer, and place that spacer on the side that gives the best chainline.

    Bottom Bracket Replacement?: 2023 S40

    It is more frequently the difference in the BB cups and the accompanying spindle on the crank, but I have seen some actual shells that can have a +/- 1mm variation. Also I have seen some shells that have been faced more than once which shaves a bit of material off every time, thus possibly...

    Bottom Bracket Replacement?: 2023 S40

    Since "standard" is a word thrown around in the bike industry that is 1000% meaningless by its definition, things are always a bit off when mixing parts like this - and sometimes just when there are differences on some bb shell specs. A BB cup spacer kit like below is what you need to reduce one...

    Race Cage

    Total weight of everything is about 2lbs: Cage: 1.1 lbs Cover: 0.75 lbs (12 ounces) Clamps/Hardware: 0.20 lbs (3 ounces) One thing that I personally like about this is that we can have other covers made or people can have covers made easily that are waterproof/different material/etc. We went...

    Race Cage

    Definitely not waterproof. This is a fair weather case I would say. I imagine it can be treated with a spray, or a cover could go on top... but the main design is for adding aero and a bit of light duty (emphasize light duty) carrying capacity with the ability to carry a few bottles close to the...

    May 28 - New V20c colors...

    There is only the one spec level. In that picture you are seeing a very early custom build of the V20c in the new color - definitely that pic isn't a stock bike.

    Feed hydraulic brake line through 2024 Q45 frame

    Before you drill - try to get it through via fishing it over a cable. Specifically a derailleur cable. HYD lines are a real hassle but it can be done. Some are also bigger than others a bit it seems in diameter. The openings are indeed just big enough for a clean-cut line... it is a challenge to...

    Race Cage

    This will be on the website soon for sure. The first of them Maria was getting out to some people who have been waiting. Also attachment hardware had a bit of source hiccup but that is getting fixed

    Feed hydraulic brake line through 2024 Q45 frame

    These aren't our videos but here are a few that can help. This is always a rough task:

    Grin Motor on an S40

    The 100mm 12mm through axle front hub motor is the true unicorn right now. I am in contact with a few companies in Taiwan that are designing them... NOT for us but for at least reference to the places we know that do conversions like this. But the e-bike industry has no real use for that type of...

    Rear vs under seat pannier racks?

    For me the S40 solution was to extend the small platform as far as possible, and I added another layer of foam (kind of a medium density) that I shaped into a bit of a "wedge" to provide more padding overall but also a bit more of a "lip" up front to "hold me in" so to say. That can get me a...

    Q45 serial number

    Unfortunately we do not keep track of the SN's on the bikes.Usually as people only need them for insurance proof reasons, but we do not have a record of individual ones that we keep.
