See if Cruzbike will sell you a longer chainstay. It will raise the BB and probably also help with the heel strike.

Sit up straight when you slow down. Much easier to balance.

Try leaving out the last part of the arm, then the mirror will be up higher.

My concern is the gaps, even if I could get the same gear range I’m not eager to have bigger gaps than I currently have with my 11-32 cassette.

Check out SRAM's Road (Rival, Force) 1x options.

Single chainring is pictured but it still has the FD stalk, so no worries there.

Usually the lower limit screw adjustment prevents this, but I’m sure you’ve tried tweaking that. I’m surprised this is happening while you’re shifting up, the derailleur is moving in the wrong direction, very confusing.

Sorry but tightening the clamp on the steerer tube does nothing to align the handlebars.

The star nut + cap bolt are just to preload, they should not hold anything together while you’re riding. The bottom part of the boom clamp, where attached to the steerer tube, is what should be holding the headset down. Make sure that’s tightened, and that you have the proper spacers on the...

It does look like your problem would be solved by a shorter chainstay. Or a curved slider, or a steerer tube extender. Multiple ways you could go here.

I have 28mm tires on my Silvio 2.0 (Continental 4 Season).

Unfortunately I have moved and the bike is in storage. It’s still for sale but I won’t be able to get it out of storage any time soon.

Sure, done.

I am contemplating the sale of my beloved Silvio 2.0, since I am about to relocate internationally and I cannot easily use or store it at my destination. My plan has been to store the bike with family in Massachusetts, but that seems like a waste of a good bike (plus I wouldn't mind upgrading to...

An easy thing to try is scooting a little forward or backward in the seat and seeing if that helps at all.

Specifically, between the boom and slider (like you would grease a seat post), and all over the bolts holding them together. In general, any metal on metal interfaces. Overtightening the boom/slider clamp damaged the clamp for me. In the past people saw excessive wear on their BB bearings from...

Have you greased everything? Be careful of overtightening, you may introduce new problems that way.

The last time I rode my DF I paid attention to my front wheel's track (which is easy on a DF). Amazingly, it never stays totally straight. It "wobbles" as I pedal, especially going uphill. Doesn't seem like much of a problem, though.

For one thing, you're not taking into account that arms and legs work as a unit on MBB. This is the reason for the near-unbroken single tube connection from the handlebars to the bottom bracket on the performance models. With your revised design, under power, riders are going to twist the...

FWIW, the instructions for my SRAM Rival crank instructions said to expect play at first (but not to live with it). SRAM's recommended procedure was torque down, check for play; if play is found, remove, retorque, check again. Repeat until no play. I've put Rival cranks on a several times and...
