    Replacement Fork?

    The brass bushings have been transferred, but they are not simple. My machine is a very early v1, perhaps even a prototype, so others may encounter different versions when they try the same. I went to a local electric bike shop, as I knew they were used to doing odd conversions. Each bushing...

    Below is from a Cruzbike pdf for the silvio v1 that is too large to upload here. http://web.archive.org/web/20111005083230/http://cruzbike.com:80/SilvioAssemblyNotes.pdf " When you set up your bike, you should use the highest FD attachment point that will allow your FD to clear the chain in the...

    Fun new accessories!

    ...Trickstuff, the only one for a standard 68mm BSA BB which limits you to Shimano Hollowtech ii. ....don't mean to be picky about the chainstay length and with a chain/derailleur, who cares about a couple of mm. However the Exzentriker only gives you 6mm (+/- 3mm) of movement, so you like to...

    V20 Build - MBB newbie

    I'll need to check that later and get back to you - but it's the standard chainstay that came with the frameset. Is there a particular measurement you want? I have xseam 45" so I was concerned the BB would be too low, but it seems OK. I think there may be a longer chainstay in my mid term future...

    NuVinci cogs

    ...be sure to follow instructions and use 2-cross rather than 3-cross spoking, as the hub is fairly large. On the QX100 and T50, the chainstay length changes with boom adjustment, so a tensioner or eccentric bottom bracket is needed. Standard single-speed sprockets work, and it looks like one...

    I think he is quite a tall guy and probably didn't want to extend the chainstay length from the donor bike.

    Another new V owner

    I added 6 or 7, can’t remember which it was. Was surprised as I thought it was just a standard chain. I’m running a 36/52 Q ring with the standard boom and can shift through all the gears without issue

    Another new V owner

    It really depends on the length of your chainstay and your big ring top and bottom. I run 19" chainstay which is standard, and a 53x28 and I think I need 5 extra inches which is 10-links. I am actually just running a standard chain while my others are drying. I just cannot go big-big or it will...

    V20, ok for a short guy with short legs?

    As mentioned above by castlerobber (Betsy I'm only 5' 5.75"....I seem to be shrinking lol) but with a 41.5" ex-seam, and the standard chainstay V20 fits me just fine. In fact, at your height, you'll fit the bike better than I do because your shorter ex-seam will make it easier to get adequate...

    S40 Build with Road Triple

    Ak-Tux, The wheels are 32 spoke with Compass Chinook Pass 700C X 28 tires. I weigh about 150 pounds and find that 32 spoke holds up well for me. These wheels have about 7,000 miles on them on various bikes. The tires are very comfortable on most road surfaces. I'll probably try 32mm when...

    S40 Build with Road Triple

    Looking good! Is the chainstay length standard or the longer one? The BB height looks nice and high! Are those 36 spoke wheels with 28mm or 32mm tires? How did it climb?

    S40 chainstays for the V20

    I've been trying to get the new chainstay for some time. Not sure if they're available as an accessory yet. I needed to move to a standard length chainstay on my V20 but never got a response from Cruzbike. Currently riding a "loaner" std. length chainstay of the old style. They're very busy with...

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    No. My cranks will be 155mm in length. With an old-school square-taper BB, you have to choose how long you need the axle to be to get an optimum chainline (between front chainring and rear gear). Because I will be running a single chainring, I don't need much axle width (would need wider if I...

    S40 Build Notes

    Correct It's shorter. In the future, their will be multiple lengths beyond medium and long, but the details are pending, and there is the speed of ocean freighters involved in the additional so keep in mind that might be a hefty wait.

    S40 Build Notes

    I have question to new chainstay part. I estimate from pictures that new BB clapms goes only above boom and not over external BB bearing. So external bearing is no longer necessary and square-taper BB may be used. Also there is no longer limitation on BCD of crankset what means that smaller than...

    "The New Silvio is Coming"

    The Fit and Adjustment video shows two different chainstay lengths for the S40 (if you pay attention, the chainrings change position relative to the front tire) and in that video Robert says two lengths are available to customers.

    "The New Silvio is Coming"

    From the highlighted comment and the picture, it seems the new stay is shorter than the old "standard" length. My V20 has an "extra-long" chainstay, curved slider, and the stem just 5mm from fully slammed. I'm hoping the new stay will be available in "extra-long" stay as well.

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    I figured the T50 was put together like the Q-series. Since I have the DualDrive, I have a rear derailleur tensioning the chain, so that's never been a problem.

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    ...offset is small enough to not matter in practice, but unlike the Vendetta and Silvio where the chainstay pivots around the front wheel axis, the chainstay pivot on the T50 appears to be a bit in front of the dropouts, which means the effective chainstay length will change a bit with the boom...
