I finally got all the bits and pieces together to build my S 40. I ran into a few issues, though. First and foremost, I got stuck on brakes. Discs are a new thing, to me, so I shouldn't wonder. I elected to go with TRP Spyre SLC. I opened the box to check it out and lo and behold, all...

It came through just fine, thanks! Keep an eye on that zip tie! They get old and brittle over time. Mark

The fiberglass specialized are the same cages I use on my Silvio 1.0. They have been on there since day one and I have never lost a bottle out of them. Your image did not show up, though. Mark

No worries, at all! Thank you for the suggestion! I like the bottles behind the seat like that. It took a minute to get used to it, but now, I wouldn't have it any other way. So, I will figure it out, one way, or the other. Mark

I don't think it would work because of the lip around the edge of the seat. The same lip is why you can't mount a cage flush with the seat back. I assume the lip is structural, too. Mark

Found both threads while looking around. I could see where those cages would let go of the bottle pretty easily. I have the cages I want, which are basically the same ones I have on my S 1.0. I know the bottles stay in them; I've never dropped a bottle (knocking furiously on wood). I guess I...

I’m struggling a little with the water bottle issue. I got used to the behind the seat cages on my Silvio 1.0 and realize that without shimming the cages out, this probably won’t work with my S40. I did a search and see a few workarounds offered. I’m well aware of the headrest mount and I...

Congratulations!

I fixed it, but those are the only pics in there

To be honest.... That's the only picture in there, for now. Updates should be coming soon, in the build thread I haven't started, yet. :cool:

Unpacking the Frame for the build

Components haven't arrived, yet and aside from assembling the frame, there isn't much to do at this point. For this reason, the box has set unmolested until last night. SWMBO couldn't take it any longer, so I cracked open the box and we looked it over. The orange is a nice color and I can't...

Yeah, I know you were only teasing. I have tried the "Look, honey, what followed me home" before. One gets used to sleeping on the couch, after a while. The porch piracy thing is sad. Even sadder is, California being a catch and release state, the thieves don't even worry about security...
