Hello all. I just got a mountian bike and will be buying he conversion hopefully next month. What I would like to see is photos of some conversions that might have been set up with baskets or panniers. I am sure somebody else must plan on taking something with them in their travels.

The Silvio was on the road before the sky had completely lost the gray of early morning. The new Dinotte lights, fore and aft, lit the pavement. The drivers of the few cars on the road had no difficulty seeing this bike. Two miles from home the road became wet from a gentle rain that lasted...

On the page Sofrider specs, one cann read these «vital stats»: Wheelbase 1110 mm; Total Length 1746; Seat Height 645; Crank Height 620 +125 (shortest xseam) -175 (longest x-seam) I think something doesn't work: the WB + 660 (the size a a 26" wheel) is more than 1746, and the bottom bracket...

Hi how to firmly attach handlebar on smaller tube? The telescopic front tube does not have a constant diameter. It is larger near the bottom bracket than at the end where they slide into each other and where the clamp is. This means that the arm that holds the handlebar will not attach at all...

I have just done my first decent decent down 14% bitumen AND Gravel slopes on a Softrider V1 with 185 mm Avid BB7 front disk, and 160mm rear disk, and I can not believe how much better feel (150% better)and sensitivitythey are than the Tektro Auriga Comp Hydraulic 160mm disks (F+R), and just as...

On any standard bike configuration a seat post is a key weight and stress concentration point on a bike. For that very reason a seat post is rigid and is not intended to be bent in the first place. To johntolhurst; If I'm understanding you, your are saying no heat is required in this method...

Personne dans le coin de Montr?al? En tout cas, j'en ai vu un au Tour de l'?le.

I just bought two X Lotto tickets 2 weeks ago (I did not win anything) as I THINK I just rode 40 Km in, up and down the Adelaide Hills with a broken Titanium Rear suspension top link. See attached photos! Near Lenswood there was a different noise from the rear brakes (which were not working...

Looks like johntolhurst, DefJack, and all who told me to move the seat back proved to be the best idea. I also made up my mind to place the reversed steel seat-mount as far back as possible to capture as much of the Avalon's low cross-piece as possible. I was prepared to re-drill all new...

Hello, I am new to this forum. I have been riding bikes for most of my years (50+). I find myself in the place where my body is rejecting the upright riding position. So I am in need of a Cruzbike Kit to continue riding. Any one have a kit that they want to pass on? I am finding this forum...

Hi, I'd like to get a look at a Sofrider to help me decide if it's right for me. Can anybody help me out?

Here is how I set up my cruiser bars.You can cut off the ends if they are too long.I took off 1.5in off these.Bars are 24.5 in wide and have a small amount of rise.If you buy them be sure they have a bump where the stem clamps on.I had to exchange mine. Jack

I was at the local recumbent bike store today to purchase three Scorchers for our GTT and came across this 3M black reflective tape. It provides added safety without affecting the appearance of the Silvio. http://www.lightweights.org/store/product.php?productid=7&cat=0&page=1

Hi I have repaired my backrest with Carbon Fiber reenforcement on the backside. I had to do it because the bottom of the backrest was starting to show fine hairline cracks in the aluminium. The hairline cracks might possibly have gotten there because i may have overtightened the 2 bolts that...

We had nine riders show up for our May recumbent ride, but not the variety of bikes you might think. We had three Carbents, three Cruzbikes (myself and Jack on Silvios, my daughter Mariah on a conversion) A Challenge Fujin SL II, a RANS Rocket and a Bachetta Giro. I had three of my wedgie...

I've been riding with my 3 yr old. She's too fast to walk with but rides about 6-8km/h. This is great for balance. If you can ride really slow with no hands it also shows you how your feet are fighting with the your hands and the steering. Good times.

Hello, I love my Sofrider V1 and would be happy to show it to you. I live in the 85716 area http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=85716&ie=UTF8&ll=32.244457,-110.927496&spn=0.023738,0.04652&z=14 --Aron

I was inspired by the one wheel bike trailers that I've seen around the net, and then I found a tire a pair of aluminum crutches in the alley and was hoping some people here can give some feedback on the overall design before I go and make them. Here is what the back wheel looks like: And...

Hi folks, There are two travelers currently in the process of riding around the world on Cruzbikes (that I know of). David is on a Sofrider. He left Minnesota towards the end of March and now he is well into Mexico. Valdo is heading north from South America on a kit built Cruzbike. David's...
