I probably shouldn't (a) encourage you or (b) go off topic on an off topic thread, but... This is exactly how I felt once I started clipping in when riding my Sofrider. I had never used clipless pedals before my Sofrider (had always used toe clips). "What is the sound of one hand clapping...

(Sorry Sam) I kinda like crush. I think there would be general agreement if we used craze (since they think we're all nuts anyway). And there's something very pleasing about crescendo.

Crop and crowd are the only container words that I found (so far) that starts with CR. "A crop of Cruzbikers" doesn't sound too bad. :D

So gaggle, huh. Going once.... Going twice....

You can lower the clamp on the too-tall stem without cutting it. I'd recommend doing this anyway before cutting it to make sure you know exactly where to cut. (So both bikes can be used at the same time.)

No, it'x exactly the right thing to ask for. I just don't think it's reasonable to expect it. :D Chris Blessing has a Nuvinci 360 mated with a mountain drive. This means he gets great range, infinitely variable transmission (and I think it's pretty durable). Light and inexpensive aren't good...

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who led you astray... :D I can ride my two Cruzbikes at speeds of about half that. I find (particularly when towing a trail-a-bike but even when climbing by myself) on very steep hills (sometimes > 15% or even ~20% for very short periods of time) that I could...

For the record, this is why I don't understand why people poo-poo triples. You can get your nice tight cassette and still have the range. Oh well... :)

I miss the simplicity of the other design. But I believe you're right. The new device (and with the needed tilt-lock) should be a lot easier to market. Indeed, this could transform the go-fast trike market. Well done, Cruzbike. :)

That's not what I wanted to read. I hope everything turns out ok.

Because my bike mechanic (me) is sometimes an idiot, I was about 1/2 a mile from home when my left pedal came off. Because I was clipped in, my pedal was just attached to my shoe I didn't bother stopping and I just pedaled home with my right leg. So, yes, you can pedal with one leg. In your...

Ratz... Did you buy a boat? :D

(It is worth noting that not all 28mm tires are the same size. Like Telephd, please comment on brand as well as size. :D )

I don't think anybody ever has gotten anything bigger than 28mm to fit on any Silvio/Vendetta. And even some wide 28mm tires have had issues. I'll let those who actually know something fill in more details...

You might be able to attach it to a fork so that it could work with RWD vehicles. It has brakes (which is good), but it will raise up the front end a bit, so that may be problematic. But, yes, FWD is the way to go (both here and in general :D ).

If you get a 26" wheel set, you might be able to do get 35mm studded tires on the Silvio. With 700c rims, no way. Clearly, you'd need disc brakes with said 26" wheel.

Nice. :D

Thank you for the post. Your oversight didn't hurt its value at all.

Very cool! (Althought I don't think this works on Vendettas, only on Silvios.)

There's a lot of wisdom here. I sometimes find I need to remind myself of this at the beginning of the season on big downhill descents.
