    Larry no hablar spanglish

    Ja, ich glaube Larry ist ein grossartiger Rennfahrer. Mit seinem V20 wird er noch einige neue Rekorde erstellen.

    Mark's V20

    I made a downhill at 45 mph (72 Km/h) with my Silvio. My only concern was: what will happen if something fails (i.e. tire, fork or skewer). Downhill makes fun, but you have to earn it, either before or after ;-)

    Flat Front Shock

    Elliot, I did a rough sketch of the front triangle. As per manufacturer's spec, the suspension has a max. travel of 28mm. I didn't imagine that the suspension would have such an important impact to the front triangle. For sure the CF chainstay wont flex as shown in the right sketch, thus the...

    Flat Front Shock

    Elliot, I don't say your are wrong, but I believe you are splitting hairs. It would be difficult to simulate that even with a good CAD software, because the carbon fiber chainstay can, to a certain extend, pivot on both ends and the flex of it is difficult to estimate. On my Silvio 2.1 all bolts...

    Flat Front Shock

    I think that there is no need to make the boom pivot above the stem. The fork is the element in the front triangle that changes it's length when the suspension compresses. The boom remains rigid and the carbon fiber chainstay flexes to compensate for the retractation of the fork.

    Generic upgrade concepts

    angular gears are by far less efficient than a chain transmission. the grease / wax problem left aside, a chain drive is the best, lightest and most efficient transmission for a bike

    QX100 Steering Mod

    Although I'm not implicated in this issue, I think there is nothing wrong with it. As I wrote earlier: Great to see people working on product improvement / modification. The sliders/front ends are not available separately for the V or the S. If they where, it could be interresting for Silvio 2...
