My hilly riding setup is 34/40 up from 34/36. Ive got a wolf tooth 40T single cog added to my cassette. With the long cage SRAM X9 (and previous X7) I have no shifting issues. Purchased a longer B screw and adjusted accordingly. My stall/heavy wobble speed is around 3mph too.

Id sure like to see and S40 firsthand. Is there a tribe member in SoCal with one yet?

Layne, Ive owned several Silvios, actually all except the S1.5, and I found the fully suspended S30 @ 27 degree recline a considerably different ride from the new S30 (S30.1?)without front suspension @ 33 degree recline. I frequently ride the new S30.1 with my head off of the rest for long...

I second that and once you have the proper fit.....aaaaah

Go jond Go!

I have one and like it better than my fully suspended S30. Id like to take a spin on the S40 but am a tad worried that the seat angle might be too steep for me.

Nice build and write-up Doug! Sounds like you have got the fit dialed in. Im glad to hear about the Thor seat helping with recumbutt. I would like to give the S40 a go but was worried about the slack seat angle. I had, and still occasionally do have, a bit of an issue with the stock seat on...

ak-tux Im a sample size of one here and not sure what you are thinking about when you say "hilly off-road routes." We have a V3 Softrider that I have equipped with both 1.5 and 1.95 tires and successfully and enjoyably ridden 100's of miles on Rails-to-Trails routes, fire trails, mountain dirt...

Thanks for the write-up Jim. It captures the spirit of Team Cruzbike RAAM...short and sweet! Congratulations once again for another record and job well done Team Cruzbike.

At 11kg (~24 lb) this bike is not significantly lighter than a V20. Looks like he has fun riding it!

Congratulations Larry! Thanks for a great read. Keep the rubber side down ;)

Welcome David! Be sure to keep us posted on your progress.

I would like to give a S40 a spin. My only concern would be the upright seat angle. I sometimes struggle with a little recumbutt on my new version S30 with a seat angle of 33 degrees and my S1.0 was downright painful until I installed a 100mm extension and got my feet higher. Ill be...

Thanks! Looks like an elegant solution. Keeps the load nice and low.

Please post up if you get any more info on the pannier rack installation. It looks like an excellent solution. I watched another of his videos where it looks like he is learning to ride the S30. Impressive indeed.

Welcome to the tribe! Seems like the kids, young and old, are intrigued with our cool bikes. Enjoy your V20!
