Hi Jack,
WhiteSilvio here. I haven't been riding for a while.
I still have my original 2007 Silvio MK1
I would like to get back on the bike. Currently 21mm tires fitted.
What is the widest tire I can fit without having interference problems with the front fork?
Do you have this information...
SPOTTED ON BENTRIDER.COM
I was most interested to see the article on Bentrider "Recumbent Cycle-Con 2015 Coverage (part 1)".
When in the 'Read More>>' mode, some way down the page came upon a Cruzbike entry showing an updated prototype of a tilt mechanism.
I was very intrigued to see the newer...
Just a couple of Questions re mechanism
Hi Phillip.
I think I understand your seat mechanism now, (downloaded the video and played it in slowmo) but I just wish to clarify a couple of minor things.
Firstly the seat lives in the up position by default? Is there a way of locking it down...
Rollers 2 Platform Location
Hi Larry,
I have a couple of questions regarding the platform which goes with your "set of Kreitler rollers with the headwind trainer".
How have you located/aligned the platform relative to the rollers and roller frame?
And is the platform resting on the...
Revisiting Handlebars - Alternative Mounting
Hi TallyHo,
Here is a link to a discussion that took place back in 2012 on Handlebars.

Looking and reading about what I assume you are trying to achieve, I offer an alternative to mounting the handlebars...
Altering the Seat Angle
Since there are people who would like a different seat angle, it occurs to me that it would not be a major stretch to make some sort of light wedge shaped frame to go between the rising frame at the back and the back of the seat.
Since the seat is now supplied in...
Leveling out the bike
Jeff,
If you are using the front wheel out of your Quest, is it a stretch to think that you could also use the rear wheel as well?
I speak without any knowledge of the dropout sizings for the rear wheel from your Quest or the Sofrider.
But it may well be worth...
Speed Cadence Sensor for Garmin 500 and more
HI.
I posed the very same question on this forum some time back with regards to my Silvio with a chainstay extension added.
I didn't get any responses here, but I posted on the Garmin (Edge 500) forum and someone came up with the
Wahoo Fitness...
Another Chainstay Extension Fitted
The only drawback so far is that the Garmin sensor for speed and cadence cannot do both functions where it was on the carboyoke.
I have a remedy for this but haven't had time to do something about it.
Additionally I think I'd like to live with the...
Another Chainstay Extension Fitted
Hi,
Just thought I'd post on another chainstay extension "conversion" for a 1.0 Silvio.
Finally got around to ordering the extension, and did this when I was ready to overhaul my drivetrain. I felt it was time to do something with the drivetrain, the...

Hi.
I'm reposting this as a separate thread/topic as it seems a little inappropriate in the "seat mods for tall riders" thread.
I've just finished posting some photos of my Garmin cadence/speed sensor for Jeffrey (in another thread - Garmin Speed & Cadence Sensor Mounting) and it occurred...
Chainstay Extensions and Garmin Cadence/Speed Sensor
Hi.
I've just finished posting some photos of my Garmin cadence/speed sensor for Jeffrey (in another thread) and it occurred to me that with either of the chainstay extensions fitted to the bike the magnet on the pedal crank arm will no...
Garmin Sensor
Hi Jeffery,
Here are a couple of photos of my Garmin Cadence/Speed sensor mounted on the bike.
I have not included photos of the Garmin Computer unit mounted on the handlebars as my handlebars are a different arrangement to most.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
John...
