ordered! thanks. I'll report back.

Alas, it turns out that my new Cycleops fluid trainer comes with a skewer (what a cool term) that's about an inch too short for my front fork. Has anyone found an alternative? Thanks! Seth

thanks guys Andrew, I appreciate the kind offer. I had a 1.5 and sold it after I upgraded. The problem for me has always been shoulders and neck. The challenge with the 2.0 is that the recline is greater and for some reason, that ends up putting more pressure on the stuff that hurts...

Alas, my beloved Silvio has to be sold, as my shoulders and neck are responding really poorly to the geometry of the bike. It's the best bike I've ever owned, just under 1000 miles so far. Built by Nanda, full specs are attached below. Prefer local pickup, but will put you in...

re components 11 (gives me more range than my old 1.5, which I need, sorely) and I don't know! I'm sorry.

I'll show you close-up photos, since we all know what the thing looks like from a distance. Below this, some comments and thoughts. I have Kelvin's bag on the back (be sure to loop the handle over the seat, or it will drag against the tires. I bought a hip red and...

A shipping alternative... It's possible my local bikeshop is willing to pack and ship the bike for you at a better price if that's an issue... Hastings Velo is the name. ?http://www.hastingsvelo.com/

Thanks to everyone who pitched in helping me spec my 2.x bike. So now, the old one needs to go. I have about 1500 miles I guess on it. Never had a flat, never hit the street, tuned it up three times, rides beautifully. If you have questions, feel free to drop me a line directly, seth...

I've completely fallen in love with my Silvio 1.5, so of course, I'm upgrading. Here's the spec we've got so far, but I need your advice. What bang-for-the-buck choices am I missing? Are disk brakes worth it? Is SRAM the brand to go with for most of this? PS I find the ratchet noise on my...

thanks guys the reassurance means the world to me. Onward!

Thanks Eric: psychosomatics... The videos didn't teach me much, but the captions did. My sense is that as I got faster, I got more nervous, and tried harder, clenched up, and oversteered. The result of the oversteer is of course to create the wobble, which makes me even more nervous...

Was I pedaling? It happened both ways. Obviously, going downhill there's not a lot of resistance, so it was more motion than it was strength. I found throughout the ride that once I got into the left-right-left rhythm, it was a lot easier to be stable than it was in a straight up coast. I...

Hi gang. New to the forum, new to my brand-new Silvio. I got pretty good at the steering pretty quickly, and I'm just delighted by how efficient this thing is. I actually pass people on the uphills, which has never ever happened on my other 'bent. Here's my problem: on the downhills...
