Hey everyone,
I now have about 1k miles on the Silvio and it has been a real pleasure. My only real complaint was my lack of being able to come up with a decent storage solution. Up until now I have been using some throwover style ICE bags but they are really much larger than I needed. On...
I have a 2.0 Vendetta with the Shimano drivetrain package and Cruzbikes wheels. The bike was professionally built buy a local bike shop. There are some minor scratches on the brake levers due to some low speed tip overs. I've had a heck of a time trying to learn to ride this bike but I just...
yeah the headrest has been
yeah the headrest has been adjusted since the picture was taken. I put 33 miles on it today and had a good but bad ride. We rode a great route but at a stop sign I got in a hurry trying to get through an intersection and fell over. Then while riding down a rode that I...
Jeremy I had a set of Deore
Jeremy I had a set of Deore XT spd's on originally. The platform/spd combination pedal I have had for years and are normally on my trike. I'll probably be a few weeks until I can go to the XT's. Really on the starts/stops its not bad if you do the Fred Flinstone for...
today was a good day for me
today was a good day for me out on the V. This morning I swapped out the spd pedals for a set of spd's with a regular platform pedal on one side and spd on the other. Having that platform made starting from a stop much easier. I will go back to regular spd's once I...
rode today just around 12
rode today just around 12 miles with my wife with her on her trike. I was mainly trying to focus on my pedal stroke and starts/stops. Last corner from the house my wife turns suddenly and down I go again. I don't think I broke anything but I took a pretty bad lick. I...
didn't get on it yesterday. I
didn't get on it yesterday. I kinda overdid it a little Sunday/Monday. Planning a ride for later today. Really curious to see how I do from riding a different bike on Monday
went today on a group ride
went today on a group ride that I usually attend on Mondays. I decided to leave the V at home and rode my Giro 26. This was the first time I've been on a different bent since I got the V. The ride is much more harsh and it just didn't feel right being on a bike...
well today was a good day for
well today was a good day for learning on the bike. I rode it around the subdivision early this morning and later this evening after it started to cool down. I finally got to the point of where I could make the turns most of the time and I just need to pick my head...
John....the bike shop didn't
John....the bike shop didn't use the scissor clamp. I looked through the spare parts and didn't see it. The seat clamp must have been installed incorrectly because it was in the bottom of the frame tube. I got that part fixed last night after I found a picture of it...
well I have been on and off
well I have been on and off of it all day riding for a few minutes at a time and getting the adjustments worked out. I also went ahead and put on my spd pedals/sandals. Surprisingly I felt much more comfortable with the clip on's. I did some looking online and saw...
well I'm happy to say that
well I'm happy to say that today was much better. I'm still messing with the fore/aft of the handbars and the pedal length on the boom. I only had a couple of squirmy's this morning. I'm getting ready to eat lunch then go back out to play with it some more. I am going...
No I'm not clipped in. I am
No I'm not clipped in. I am using platform pedals for now but plan on going to spd's. I was able to get out for another ride this afternoon in a break between rain showers. On my second time out I was able to ride about 3 miles(totally guessing) and the only time I...
