    XShifter...new wireless shifting option

    None of the kickstarter special deals are available now. The kickstarter campaign finished yesterday. Luckily I am one of the 30 Australians to get in on the deals and now can't wait to see how the system performs on the Silvio.

    XShifter...new wireless shifting option

    The latest video shows testing of the prototype app to shift gears using voice command. No hands shift.

    XShifter...new wireless shifting option

    Chris - I believe the cable run to the front derailleur on the 2.1 and S30 are identical in that the cable has to double back around an idler wheel to actuate the derailleur. If that is correct then I would certainly consider changing your order and get two separate shifters. Either way having...

    XShifter...new wireless shifting option

    After contacting Paul Gallagher (the inventor of the x shifter) with a number of questions I have now decided to go with a road remote and 2 X shifters on my Silvio S30 instead of the dual shifter option and have changed my pledge/order accordingly. After viewing photographs of the Silvio that...

    XShifter...new wireless shifting option

    After watching the videos (several times) and having a sleepless night mulling it over in my mind I have also taken the plunge and ordered the "duel road" for my Silvio S30. The comments above about the control pad not being ergonomic on drop bars are IMHO unfounded. The road version of the...

    solar powered bike path

    No there isn't a yellow kangaroo, but given the location of the path perhaps there should be. Plenty of roos in that area.

    Tubular wheels

    I purchased a Dynaplug Micro Pro kit to use with my tubeless tyres. While I haven't had to use it yet there is a video online of a road bike tyre being repaired using the kit.

    There is a similar (albeit short) bike path currently under trial in Canberra Australia. Ours glows green.

    S30 Rear Triangle Noise

    Doesn't look right to me. I've just looked at the rear suspension on my S30 and when the bike is sitting on the wheels normally there is no gap between the rubber mount in the frame and top of the titanium spring. Yours appears to have an uneven gap with the gap at the front being larger than...

    Comparability issues?

    I fitted the Shimano Ultegra 6800 11 speed group set to my Silvio S30 with no problems. However as has already been pointed out the BB cups of the 6800 are not compatible with the BB clamps. I ended up fitting an old stock Dura-Ace BB, the cups were then the right size to fit into the BB...

    Converting QX100 to NuvinciN360

    I am puzzled as to why you are not using a chain tensioner and keeping the two chain rings up front. During my ownership of a MK1 Quest I experimented with a N360 hub. My experience was that the hub worked very well but I definitely needed to retain the original group of chain rings in order...

    Flat Front Shock

    Jeremy S - You are right, the assembly instructions does say that the working pressure is 40 - 200 psi - which contradicts other information about how to use the shock pump provided by the fork's manufacturer which states maximum pressure is 185 psi. It doesn't help owners when such...

    Flat Front Shock

    Can't say I've ever noticed any problem with the front shock on my S30 (which I pump up to 150psi). However I do note that the instructions for the front shock state that the pressure must not exceed 185psi

    Hello, recumbent noob

    I fitted a couple of Zefal Spy mirrors to my S30. Unobtrusive and work very well.

    New owner from Chicago

    What ever you do, do not ride without a helmet. Just over a year ago (while riding my old Quest) the front end broke away going round a left hand bend after I hit mud or gravel. The end result was that one second I was on the bike and the next I was flat on my back. The back of my head hit...

    Silvio 2.0 for sale

    Have you considered just changing the seat to one with a more upright riding position. There are various threads where people have changed the stock seat on a Silvio. I put a performer recumbent seat on a Silvio S30 to give me a more upright riding position and have found the difference...
