    Adele Fan? Charles, I didn't know you were an Adele fan ;-)

    Rumor has it...

    Hey IOW "i'm thinking along similar lines as you andrew. which would mean the cruzbike line-up could be rationalised, with the new bike taking the place of both the vendetta and silvio...." Do you also think that Cruzbike is running a super secret contest and is awarding a new Silvio...

    Rumor has it...

    Here's My Guess If I had to take a guess at something new happening with the Silvio, this is it: Silvio 3.0 Carbon fiber frame and seat Adjustable seat angle Matte finish with striking new graphics (bye-bye Model T black) Front suspension (KindShock) fork is gone NEW carbon...

    Rotor Q ring not suitable for recumbents?

    I'm confused I have Rotor rings, I climb like a lovesick mountain goat and I have still no clue if my rings are set up properly. All this math is great and all for you engineer types, how about a picture for us dummies?

    Rumor has it...

    Worse than Apple Bladderhead: "I haven't even got mine working properly and there's a new one. Worse than Microsoft Apple." Fixed that for you. I'll gladly take that problem Silvio off your hands. ;-)

    Group buy of Sofrider forks -- sign up now!

    But what if? Hello, Henry. I wish you success in getting the group buy to happen. I imagine that if I had a V2/K conversion, I would definitely want the fork. The biggest obstacle is the likelihood that the minimum order exceeds the customer demand, the result being the cost of the...

    Jim Parker Blog - AOMM

    Mass Start Eric, When I rode The Assaults (AOMM 2011), starting position was basically first come-first serve with the exception of special guests, or pros. In 2011, Hincapie's Jr. team was there and they got the honor of leading us out. In prior years, the start was broken into...

    Group buy of Sofrider forks -- sign up now!

    $$$ I'm sure it could be done if people are willing to pay the price, but I'm willing to bet that the demand wouldn't be enough to make a production run cost effective for anybody. Manufacturers have their minimum orders, after all :-) I'm willing to bet that it would be more cost...

    Travelling with Silvio

    Depends... It depends on what you consider "not too much dismantling". I have used travel cases which involved just removal of the wheels, pedals and stem/handlebar. There are more frame components on a Silvio than a standard DF, but there should be no reason that doing a similar amount of...

    Learning to ride a MBB - are the difficulties in the mind?

    Explain, don't demonstrate, Explain, don't demonstrate, how to ride a bike to someone who has never ridden a bike. Then, explain to an experienced cyclist how to ride a Cruzbike. I would bet that the explanation to the first person would be much more basic than the one you would give to...

    Involuntary pedal steer wobble when changing gears

    No idea I can't say I've experienced this, but it sounds like something that would go away once you've put in some long miles on the bike.

    If I had a 3D printer I would print.

    I'd print one for Charles too. You get one too, Charles!

    reading the tea leaves

    My Perspective From a customer perspective, I can imagine questioning the near-nine-hundred dollar difference between the Silvio and the Vendetta. I would look at the Silvo and note the carboyoke stays, and the suspension and I would wonder why I get the extras for less than the cost of a...

    Silvio for Sale

    Falling Asleep The new Silvio is the same way, Eric. It's dangerously comfortable too. I don't know if I'd want to be on that comfortable of a seat when the fatigue really kicks in! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Newbie Rider Report

    Knee Pain Part II I agree with Mark. I assumed a crank length issue had caused my knee pain, but I was informed that I was likely pushing too big a gear. I started gearing down, spinning more and knee pain is gone. Mashing is okay once and a while (if you are blasting up a short hill, for...

    Y26 Progress (was My persistence in searching has borne fruit!)

    Looking Good Hi, SamP. I have often wanted to attempt building a conversion. Seeing one that looks as good as yours is coming along really makes me want to try it.

    May I remove the tab which holds the kickstand?

    Non Cruzbike Swingarm? I wonder if you could obtain a swingarm from a suspended MTB that would readily fit the Sofrider? That way you could attempt the frame surgery without risking damage to your bike.
