Shahmatt, if you check Shahmatt, if you check typical 130-5mm hub specs you will see the flange width, where the spokes connect to the hub is around 55mm (each model are different) so much less than a 75-80mm narrow fork. Of course in a rear hub this is offset towards the non-drive side. In...

Now if only we had something like this to clip on the headrest of Silvio and Vendetta and it didn't cost 700 euro! http://www.troytec.de/CMS/Zubehoer/AIR-BOX-10,176,0,4.html

Great ride! I only just Great ride! I only just realized you are in Kenya... I may be heading to your country (never been before) in May next year.

Yeah, the large Topeak bag Yeah, the large Topeak bag fits really well and is cavernous! All I had to do to mount it was use a velcro strip to "extend" the strap that normally goes around a DF's seatpost. On the Silvio it goes around both headrest "bars" making a very solid connection. My...

Sounds like this will be a Sounds like this will be a great looking bike! My guess is after a while you may want to go with a full size 53/39 crank cos you will churning up and down those hills. Look forward to pictures and a comparison with your Carbent.

So who exactly from all these So who exactly from all these comments will actually be building up this new frameset?? It will go very well with SRAM Force or SRAM Red! :)

You are not adapting 75mm to You are not adapting 75mm to 135mm but a 75mm fork to a 100mm fork design, thus adapting 12.5mm on either side. This may be enough to cause problems with the bracket needing to brace against the fork as Jim said. Looking at the bracket design in the assembly...

Looks like we will soon get Looks like we will soon get lots if forum activity with new builds and ride reports! That's a HUGE change in logo design. I think Romelman would like the new frame more than me though! ;)

Silvio 2 is loving Silvio 2 is loving the Singapore scene! Ah I understand better now. Yes, the Giatex rear wheel fold would be good then, similar to my Brompton...which got me thinking, how about converting the Flamingo NX7 (Brompton clone) as you would be able to fold the rear wheel AND at...

Another Singaporean! As far Another Singaporean! As far as I know I am the only Cruzbike owner here so far. For a foldy, I would consider the SpeedOne possibly with dual suspension. It comes from the same Taiwan factory as Silvio framesets, so you know quality is good, and some variants have...

BentBierz, my improved water BentBierz, my improved water bottle setup addresses all the things you want. By using the Minoura Saddle cage adaptor http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001CJXE1K/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?pc_redir=1385480909 and mounting it UPSIDE DOWN the bottle is situated high enough so...

I've been riding DF clipless I've been riding DF clipless for 18 years and wouldn't have it any other way even when I am on a leisure ride with family. So when I went to Silvio (my first recumbent), I went clipless on day 3. I found it helped immediately and found that my disengaging instinct...

My pics and write up of water My pics and write up of water bottles on the seat back are here: http://cruzbike.com/silvio-2.0-journey-build-and-ride-video?page=1?

Ah, so I am not the first - Ah, so I am not the first - Ken did it and was braver, cutting up a much more expensive mount! Thanks counterpoint, I will try not to press that button too much! ;) I owned a similar cheap China model before for 6 months and sold it off while it was still...

I don't think that the top I don't think that the top clamp arms of Charles' first find would need to be bent to attach to the seat stays. Here's why: This low res pic I found appears to be same rack. It looks very suitable as it can be positioned further back and be adjusted so it's...

By strapping panniers to the By strapping panniers to the frame or seat back, plus the Bachetta brain box, plus still available space under seat pan and in between wheels, there is a lot of storage that Silvio can accomplish. In fact, the Phil and Teds panniers I used can fit simultaneously...

I got myself a new super I got myself a new super bright Cree light and managed to mount it to my Silvio 2 "nose" without buying additional hardware! I selected this generic model for $31 delivered. It is the type with separate battery pack which has its pros and cons. Thankfully the battery...

Feels strange to say "Thanks Feels strange to say "Thanks Gromit!" ... yeah, I had my eye on that model. Looks really nice, great reviews. Just pricey and even more so in a Singapore LBS. I can get cheap shock pumps here but something with a 2 stage release is needed. The originally provided...

Thanks John. I tried various Thanks John. I tried various placements of pliers like that but without success. The threads are spinning in the rubber and stuck in the black nozzle.

I guess that's the problem I guess that's the problem John. When I unscrewed it at last use the nozzle must have gotten jammed tightly and now it's turning in the rubber. I guess the easiest solution is to look for another shock pump.
