Reviving an old thread as found a satisfactory bike lock that can be carried on a Silvio (with minimal rattle) The ABUS Bordo http://www.abus-bordo.com/gb/default.htm Interesting name. Despite being a folding lock has an security rating comparable to most D-locks. Cost: about $90 US, 45...

Found a photo of that fairing in action

I concur, especially eel infested waters ;) [anyone seen Princess Bride?] You might be so used to counteracting FWD torque steer with the upper body that you are unaware of it except under strenuous riding. Kendrick

Hi JonB, happened to see this on TV recently- uses the office chair hydraulics http://www.abc.net.au/tv/newinventors/txt/s2206272.htm Australian inventor... ;) regards Kendrick

JonB, if you ride between the same two locations, perhaps you could get two locks and leave them locked to the racks there. Otherwise, we could commision a "Silvio Taser" to fit in the underseat gap... http://www.spyworld.net/AutoTaser.htm (I'm joking) cheers Kendrick

I use a U-lock and a extension cable at work. The U-lock through the front wheel with the extension cable looped through the back wheel and through the underseat gap (which is what JT recommends to use on the Silvio as everything else can be taken apart). In light of your Abus experience, I had...

Hi John, It is very well sorted already- however, a mounting point for a D-lock would be great (perhaps at the back of the seat ?)- having to carry it round in my pannier bag. Haven't figured out how to secure it to the rack. Ventilated seat back sounds cool, as does storage spaces. cheers...

Hi Peder, On Sunday did the 60km http://Freewaybikehike.com.au ride - annual event- where they close 60km of the main freeway (2-3 lanes wide), with train journey included to start and finish... is this done anywhere else apart from Perth? Managed to join a 30-40 person peleton doing 38-42km/h...

Hi all, I'd like the widened bars, but I think my work colleagues would lynch me, my 42cm bars takes up enough space in the bike rack as it is. Need a Tardis function included on the Silvio Gen II wishlist ;) cheers (and have a blessed Easter everyone) Kendrick

Hi Hotdog, I agree. I think that boils down to - unless there are no hills where you plan to ride, aim to setup with a triple crank. (I think there is an advantage waiting for people to try out the options and sorting out the tweaks required) Kendrick

Hi Hotdog, Changing to a Hi Hotdog, Changing to a different cassette if need be wouldn't be very expensive or difficult, but you'd want to make the right choice of double/compact/triple cranks at the beginning. I agree. I think that boils down to - unless there are no hills where...

Hi John, Bring it on :) cheers Kendrick
