Hi Jake, Sorry for the late reply. Here's some archived assembly info from the release of the Silvio. There wasn't a comprehensive illustrated manual in those days. John T hand built mine, so I wasn't bothered... Regards Kendrick

Thanks for the insight into the gearing calculations Mark. I looked at your Wald=>Soma Gator handlebar migration discussion and have now reversed my handlebars to allow a more relaxed arm position.

Thanks for all the tips and inspiration. Have built a 1x12 T50. By the time I ordered components, SRAM GX Eagle was available and was intrigued by the possibility (piqued by Lim's post). Copy of Doug Kline's T50, apart from GX Eagle groupset (XG-1275 10-50 cassette, trigger shifter, 170mm...

Thank you John I almost fell off my seat when I heard the news (late). John, thank you for bringing the world a practical, MBB front wheel drive semi-recumbent. Many great ideas never see the light of day but your persistence, vision and intelligence brought CB not just into the...

Thanks Hi Eric, thanks for that research. Will keep an eye on the Kickstarter campaign and hope it makes it to market. regards Kendrick

Hi all, Just saw this on Kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/486778887/hubdock-quick-release-rear-wheel?ref=live A new hub design that allows quick release of the rear wheel (which would be the drive front wheel on a Cruzbike) whilst leaving the gears/chain untouched...

gave up. hi Currystomper, I bought one for a Quest 451, had problems with the CrossRack cargo bag touching the back wheel. Don't think I did much in the way of troubleshooting/hacks but switched to a Topeak rack. Maybe I should lend it to John for him to test out on the other...

Very good points TimOz. I am Very good points TimOz. I am enjoying using the TigrLock, find it better than any previous lock for securing a Cruzbike. It can't secure both wheels plus the frame unfortunately (at least on the Silvio), which it can for a DF bike. Kendrick

Sunday 24th March Hi Greg, yes, likely to do it. It's on the Sunday btw http://events.sportsnewsfirst.com.au/event/freewaybikehike/ cheers Kendrick

Time Hi OCD, Welcome to the forum. I think you will get comfortable soon with passage of time and miles in/ on the saddle... a fender is still worthwhile as otherwise water sprays onto the back of the head. regards Kendrick

awestruck Hydroform + disc brakes is strengthening the case for me to upgrade from the Silvio. Concur that frame visibility "visual volume" is important for safety purposes. Looking forward to seeing photos of the painted hydroformed frame. Kendrick

Hi all, As the southern hemisphere is now in ideal cycling conditions and recumbent riders receive more face UV exposure, solar protection is topical.... (excuse the pun) Here's a good review of current sunscreen knowledge from a non-commercial perspective (Australian government website)...

sorry for the late reply Hi Nataly, Sorry for the delay in reply. There are lots of Australian owners out there but we might be out on our Cruzbikes instead of at our computers as the weather is gorgeous for cycling... >I am looking to talk to actual customers about their...

Tigr Lock : down the track Have used the Tigr Lock for a few weeks. Prefer it to my previous various U-locks. Long enough to make it feasible to lock through the welded closed D under the Silvio seat. Mostly use the Silvio for commuting, so a lock means I can pop into the shops etc on...

Welcome back Hi Mark, Good to see you have been out and about on the Silvio. cheers Kendrick

Tigr Lock has arrived My long awaited TigrLock has arrived (Kickstarter crowd sourced project) Impressions: Very nicely finished, minimalist look. Light Titanium bow, though long enough to lock both front and back wheel on a DF frame bike, is 173grams. Total weight (for the 2cm...

?Windwrap I think this is a Windwrap in this thread http://cruzbike.com/front-fairing Someone else tried the Streamer fairing. http://cruzbike.com/my-faired-silvio Cheers Kendrick

locking Cruzbikes Hi Macool, Good to hear you will soon be riding a Cruzbike of your own. Locking point depends on the model, as BillyK has identified. Security wise Silvio- under the seat is a welded closed D (other sections can be disassembled) Vendetta- rear triangle is...
