It's not a problem when your It's not a problem when your feet are on the pedals -- you don't actually have to hold your legs up.

A diagonal boom looks good to A diagonal boom looks good to me because it parallels the seat back. To each their own. IMHO the aesthetics of the boom angle should be one of your last considerations. I have a Silvio 2.0 with no chainstay extension (5'10", 45" x-seam, 175 lbs) and I have...

I doubt it. At least I don't I doubt it. At least I don't think the foam on my Silvio 2.0 cushions is any thicker than it was on my Sofrider v2. Also I'm noticing that the seat bottom cushion foam seems compressed totally flat after about 20 miles on the bike. The seat back is fine for me, as...

Happy to report that the Happy to report that the combination of Lezyne "Flow Cage" and Camelbak "Podium Big Chill" bottle worked well.

I guess I'm just one lucky Not just you, I'm seeing the same thing (but it used to work).

Hardy, the answer about the Hardy, the answer about the elastomer seems to be that it can go either way. The official/correct way seems to be with the wider end facing up/into the frame, and the narrower end facing down/plugged into the plastic disc underneath it. However John has suggested to...

The Silvio performed From a fellow masher: I've found that having the pedals a little too close, increasing knee bend, can cause knee discomfort. Consider if you have room to move the pedals a bit farther out.

I installed anti-theft wheel I installed anti-theft wheel skewers on my Silvio. There are a number of options out there but Pitlock seemed to have the best reputation, so that's what I bought. Here's one of the skewers installed on the drive wheel, drive side. This end of the skewer is...

Hm, I was thinking about a Hm, I was thinking about a sturdy rubber band, but a velcro strip should work similarly, and that Lezyne cage also looks pretty cool... Thanks.

I agree with Charles. Why I agree with Charles. Why overthink it? Spend some time on the bike, and try to enjoy.

Water bottle fail I had my first actual clipped-in ride today, and I think it went pretty well. I think I will have to move the pedals a bit farther out (I guess the cleated sandals are thicker than my regular sandals) and perhaps tweak the cleat position. At intersections, I found that it...

Hi Isidro, I don't have the Hi Isidro, I don't have the Sofrider anymore so I can't compare directly, but yes, I think my Silvio 2.0 is a little easier to control than my Sofrider V2 was -- especially if I sit up straight in the seat. If I'm lying back in the seat I don't think there's a huge...

In response to Bruce's In response to Bruce's comment, I too might prefer a more upright seat on my Silvio 2.0, but I find the seat OK as it is. I do sit up straight every time I start or stop, and occasionally on sharp corners with poor visibility. I'm not sure if these behaviors will persist...

Thanks for sharing your Thanks for sharing your experience, Charles. Seems it went well for you. Are you still using SPD pedals?

Dean, I believe Andrew had to Dean, I believe Andrew had to strip the paint off his boom to repair it, and he stripped some more parts to match.

Bought a new hex key, reset Bought a new hex key, reset the pedal tension to the minimum, and finally managed to clip in (and out) several times while sitting still. Seems I need to hook the front part of the cleat onto the pedal by feel, then push hard, forward and upward, to get the back part...

Ivan, I did get A600's, and Ivan, I did get A600's, and the adjustment bolts were not light to turn! They turn in discrete steps and are actually quite stiff on each step. My 3mm hex key kept jumping out of the bolt, and eventually wore to the point where it turns in the bolt head without...

George, I just invested a George, I just invested a bunch of money in these pedals so hoping not to buy something else, but that is something to think about, thanks. Your profile says you're in Boston, I've never seen another Cruzbike around here! If you don't mind my asking, where do you...

Once again, very slick Once again, very slick looking (and apparently slick riding too).
