Get some proper padding on there! I wouldn't be comfortable with an unpadded head/neck rest, especially the top part where you have none. I checked on my ride today and the gear adjuster on the back of my Bell helmet is in fact right between the base of my head and the headrest, but because of...

Starting while lying back in the seat looks nice and relaxing... I never learned to do that on my Silvio, I always start sitting up straight.

Yes, this is redesigned on the newer models (S30 and V20) but the old design works fine.

There could be a couple of factors here: the camera looks to be a bit off angle (the FD should be a bit counterclockwise too) and the rear wheel is elevated a tad because it's on a stand. I will definitely try it out as pictured and then try out bolt #2 for comparison.

I think it's my dead spot (it's a bit hard to be sure), about 5'10" with 45" x-seam, 50mm extension, 165mm cranks. I'm probably holding the camera off-angle here, so many factors involved in judging this... The thing is, there is no bolt lined up with #2, the bolt is lined up right next to it...

Going through my Q ring setup again, Bob, I've been curious about your mention of using the first tooth to disengage as a reference, because the Rotor instructions only mention using the first tooth to engage. The two aren't guaranteed to be opposite each other on the chainring because changing...

13" Pro Retina is pretty awesome, I run it at the highest res (1680x1050 equivalent).

Nope. I'm in the process of putting on shorter cranks so I'm about to redo the setup. I'll see what I can do about a photo. Thanks for the thought provoking post.

Interesting. In another thread Ratz said: Low numbers make the ring "Bigger", "Earlier" in the power stroke good for mashers and give more top end speed at cadences that rang 60-80rpm. This a more leverage position. Big numbers make the ring "Bigger", "later" in the power stroke good for...

Not if you lengthen the boom at the same time by sliding the silver tube out of the yellow tube (which it sounds like you are unable to do since it is jammed).

Martinius, the Silvio price did increase by $500 in 2014. I think this was before the release of the S30. My Silvio 2.0 was less expensive than the current Silvio.

Hi Ken, do you know which version of Vendetta you have? (It sounds like a 2.0.) Adjustment is different between the different models. You should have two main points of adjustment: where the boom attaches above the fork (on the 2.0 you pick which of several holes to put a bolt through), and the...

The Silvio 2.0 is no longer for sale (unless you find one used). There is no Silvio 3.0, yet. The S30 (also called 2.2) is the current model. Hope this helps...

I have the slightly older seat (2 piece carbon/fiberglass) and I now use the velcro only. Easier to get the seat on and off, doesn't seem to move around at all while riding, got tired of fiddling with the tightness of the bolts at the front.

I think your legs are 2-3 inches longer than mine. Longer legs can be accommodated using a chainstay extension (sold by Cruzbike). I was able to ride my Silvio 2.0 comfortably with no chainstay extension, and now with a 50mm custom extension. I would expect that the standard 100mm extension...

It's a Silvio 2.1, you can tell because it says SILVIO 2.0 on the frame (no joke).

From the S30 product page. MODEL EVOLUTION Silvio S30 version 2.2 delivers the following improvements to version 2.0: Larger boom and slider for even better power delivery Accommodates 11-speed systems Improved front derailleur cable management for easier set up and adjustment Press-fit RD...

I think Larry has said that he likes a more closed position for power delivery, which given a fixed seat angle would mean a higher BB.

The FLEXR system looks designed for bottles to go down below the rider on the frame of a DF, so I didn't think this would be a problem. Thanks for the tips.

I'm glad I ditched Aperture for Lightroom a while back, the new photos app is scary.
