There are suggestions and Fair enough. Send me a Silvio V2 and I'll put a rack on it. :D

I would think that something I would think that something like this: Or even something like this: could be made to work on the Silvio. I'd probably go with the first if it were me.

The whole reason to go to The whole reason to go to 650b is to go wider. From Eric's post: Given that the radius of the rim is smaller (584 compared to 622 for a 700c), this should allow a shorter, wider tire. It would be great if we could get a head-on shot of the Silvio v2.0 fork...

650B on a Silvio Given the hubs needed, it's likely that you'll have to get wheels built yourself, so you ought to be able to get good 650B wheels. Tire choices is a real issue; I'm not familiar with what choices there are in 650B tires. If the right choices are there, then it's a...

Three comments: 1) I Three comments: 1) I completely agree with you, pRC, I wish the Silvio allowed wider 700c tires. It might (somewhat) when you use disc brakes and using 650 wheels with disk brakes isn't a crazy idea at all. 2) I do agree that getting an exact idea of how many...

 Thanks for the update. 12% Thanks for the update. 12% is nothing to sneeze at. I'd love to see what happens if you socked it with a tail box...

 i don't think your too far i don't think your too far off in your observations. I don't think you could get the seat entirely mounted on the rear piece. A lot of bike Fridays fold only the rear wheel, so only having that fold wouldn't be bad and you wouldn't need to muck with the sear...

Now, before all the defenses As far as I'm concerned, the content of the original post was good. It does make sense to talk about what problems there still are and find out as much as possible what you are really in for. As I think is very often demonstrated on this forum, you can...

Hi pRC,The bulk of your post Hi pRC, The bulk of your post is fine. You are asking whether or not specific issues that have come up have been resolved or not. That's perfectly reasonable. The fact that you come from software in some sense explains a lot. If there's a bug, you fix...

Hi, I would maintain that Hi, I would maintain that your original question as whether or not to classify the Silvio as a "beta" release or not isn't appropriate for small term production. Given the production sizes, there are always going to be issues and feedback from customers to...

If speed is nearly identical The Sofrider is a good choice, but I'll just point out (because I like being pedantic :)) that I could probably get as much cargo on my Mantis as the Sofrider. I chose not to install a permanent (non-seat post) rack on the Mantis, but I could. And on both the...

As you can do it after the As you can do it after the fact and as long as they don't run out of the extensions, start without and then see how you feel about it.

Hi, Mostly the tires on my Hi, Mostly the tires on my Sofrider. I changed them from 100 PSI Maxxis Detonators with anti-puncture tire liners to 95 PSI Schwalbe Kojaks without and I gained 1.5 MPH average speed on my Sofrider. It's now pretty much a toss-up as to which bike is faster (I...

I don't think I've ever seen I don't think I've ever seen a bike with aerorims and fenders. Kinda kinky. I like it. :D

Here's a 1.5 specific answer Here's a 1.5 specific answer on the 2.0 thread.

Hi Ivan, Picture? (Come on, Hi Ivan, Picture? (Come on, you know this!) Can you mount it on the other (non-chain) side? Cheers, Charles

I have the Expillion 600 and I have the Expillion 600 and am very happy with it. It's easy enough to quickly switch between bikes yet firmly attached.

 Or just get another drive Or just get another drive wheel. I think that's what I would do.

 For what it's worth, I have For what it's worth, I have an FSU Gossimer triple crank on my Mantis and I like it. (I have mine setup as a 50/39/24).
