For a credit card tour, the For a credit card tour, the picture I posted before with my Revelate Designs Pika saddlebag should be enough (6-12L capacity). The aero advantage, plus lack of complexity without a rack will be hugely beneficial. Light items like jackets or a drybag can still be...

That's a beautiful chainring! That's a beautiful chainring! Is that all FSA? 54T or even bigger?

Decked out with flags, a small group of recumbents gathered in the city for a "parade ride." Very rare to see 'bents in Singapore and here was a gaggle of them! We all mounted Singapore flags as today is our young nation's 49th birthday. At least 4 Performer bents, 2 Catrikes, 2...

Real happy to hear that your Real happy to hear that your fit is coming along nicely and those short cranks are helping!

I am so wanting to do this. I am so wanting to do this. Got my gear and Silvio nicely setup, some possible routes laid out - but not a schedule as to when yet.

Before her final positioning, Before her final positioning, this pic better shows how the frame hook hold on to Silvio's wheels. All four points are in contact.

For those of without American garages or the expanses of African space, we make do squeezing our precious bicycles into our space efficient apartments. Not only does this limit the number of steeds we can own in the likes of Singapore, Hong Kong or Japan, we try and find ways of storing our...

Larry, I noticed the drop in Larry, I noticed the drop in HR too - due to more efficient recumbent position. And also due to lack of familiarity with new platform. Now approaching a year, I can get my HR into the high range that I was riding with my DF. I tend to get there only when chasing...

Larry, I think you can Larry, I think you can lengthen your boom so that your BB goes more forward, thus extending your legs more and improving that uncomfortable angle you have now. The reason I think your BB can go forward is that you appear much taller than me, and your BB is closer...

SILVIO: my new short crank SILVIO: my new short crank arms made me feel really fast. I am sure I was 7% faster and felt more reclined, like down to 20 deg or so. I think I shall rename myself silVio so that no one gets any funny ideas about replacing me with a faster yellower model. IVAN...

I chanced upon an eBay listing for short-crank arms and managed to pick up these! A bonus, since they were SRAM Force crank arms shortened to 150mm, so matched the rest of my groupset. I have been very curious about how short cranks would suit me as I figure (a) I would like less "flailing" of...

Steve, that looks amazing! Us Steve, that looks amazing! Us Silvio 2 owners were wondering what a Vendetta front end would feel like. Now tell us more what the suspension feel likes now that you have no front suspension but you still have the rear damper. If I had to guess, the new Silvio...

Hey! Good solution. I use the Hey! Good solution. I use the same Topeak CageMount on my Brompton bike and it has been great. You have 2 of them and looks like you cut the headrest cushion fabric to make it neat. Since the position of your wedge bags is good, perhaps a feed bag may work...

Wow! Congrats on a Wow! Congrats on a wonderfully unique bike! KungFuGuy - parts will "just work" right out if the box if we stick to standard road group components. Buy a frameset, buy an entire matching groupset and it not much different to any DF road frame setup. The fact that Cruzbike...

Stop it Ratz! Just stop Stop it Ratz! Just stop that!! Eric, are you referring to the lack of rear suspension on the V?

A good explanation by pugwash A good explanation by pugwash indeed! The genius of the Cruzbike triangulated FWD design may not be immediately appreciated by the first time observer but it certainly is there. I love curvy carbon frames too, but it is exactly right what pugwash says, that the M5...

I removed that adjusting knob I removed that adjusting knob on my helmet (Limar 105) and cut some tiny Velcro straps to hold the plastic straps in the right place for my noggin. Very simple and made me wonder why I didn't do it earlier!! Maria switched from S1 to Vendetta. I think the...

Thanks for sharing -- keep Thanks for sharing -- keep posting about your experiences! I am a Silvio 2.0 rider not a Vendetta. Now about a year on Silvio and enjoying the journey. What I really like, when you get comfortable being more aggressive downhill, is that downhill momentum PLUS the...

I have not had problems with I have not had problems with mine, once installed correctly. I don't have a lot of torque on them as they are fairly small, and they don't slip at all. So I would say don't bother about bigger bolts, just get correct length or slightly shorter than the ones you...
