I was researching Bike Sebring info when I stumbled across this video that someone made doing one lap of the Sebring racetrack. To my surprise, at time mark 3:26, Jim Parker goes wizzing by on his Vendetta. Based on his rider number of 130, this was the 2011 Bike Sebring 12 hour race where...

Holland, Michigan is a great Holland, Michigan is a great place for bicycling - during the warmer months! Nice MUPs all over and good roads too. I have a friend with a home in Holland and took my old DF over and went riding with him back on the weekend of Sep 1 and 2. We rode up to...

I considered the CrossRack I considered the CrossRack for my Mobiky which has 12" wheels so clearance was not a problem but I ended up getting a Topeak DynaPack instead. These are kind of cool. This is the XL or large model it has a zippered expansion mode to expand the top up another...

I have found that after I have found that after riding many hours on rollers that I am significantly more stable and relaxed when I ride outdoors on the roads. This was especially noticeable for my slow speed handling and maneuvering. Unfortunately we are back to much colder temperatures...

Hi Rod, Which particular Hi Rod, Which particular model are those Radical bags. They seem to fit the Silvio really well. -Eric

Lisa, I think you have two Lisa, I think you have two issues - correct me if I am wrong: Your chain was rubbing in certain gear combinations due to running a triple crank. I <i>think</i> you resolved this by your LBS moving the Front Derailleur (FD) to one of the other 4 attachment...

Lisa, I would suggest Lisa, I would suggest sticking to one thread for all your your Silvio v1.0 for x-seams shorter than 40 questions as it makes it easier to follow and keep track of what the problem is. I would suggest keeping it all on this thread of yours...

Perhaps the 1.5 mods Perhaps the 1.5 mods described in your other thread here are also applicable to the 1.0? Doug Burton should be able to confirm for you. -Eric

Back on the bike Hi Andrew, Glad to hear you are back on the bike and you had good weather to ride in. I may need to consider moving back south, it is 8F outside right now. Looks like you had about 60F weather today. What are you riding? -Eric

Have you driven a light Have you driven a light weight sports car with tight suspension that was very responsive to steering, brakes, and accelerator? Where you can feel the nuances of the road while driving down it? Its like that. Not that I have much seat time in a Silvio, mind you but I...

I asked John about the Stages I asked John about the Stages power meter and he replied in this post where he said it wouldn't be a problem. As far as your point 3, I would also review this thread, specifically this comment by John. -Eric

Hi Charles, I am curious how Hi Charles, I am curious how this project is working out. Did you finish it yet? -Eric

Hi Lisa, There are several Hi Lisa, There are several posts with the newer Silvio. You've posted in the bottom of one of them showing a tall amn and a short woman next to one. :-) See: http://cruzbike.com/silvio-15-pictures#comment-15937 http://cruzbike.com/new-silvio-stock...

This kind of thinking is what This kind of thinking is what led to me ordering a Vendetta. :-)

Hey, no fair using the Hey, no fair using the doorjams as bumper stops! You'll give Charles Plager ideas... -Eric

I think the difference in I think the difference in handling feel is due the Silvio and Vendetta boom extending in an unbroken line inward past the stem riser towards the rider. There is a subtle difference in lever arm that I think makes control responses easier and quicker? with the...

Measuring tire pressure after flat repair? Hi Dan, Do you (and others) use a tire gage to check tire pressure after you've re-inflated from repairing a flat during a race? If so, what are you using for a pressure gage? I've been using a foot pump with a built-in gage and my old...

I just ordered a Bacchetta Brain Box. Anybody have any recomendations for brand/model/size of water bladder/reservoir that will fit well inside this bag? Thanks, -Eric

Give it a few more rides. I Give it a few more rides. I think it may be a temporary soreness from your body adjusting to the MBB format. My bum and inner thighs were sore for a day or two after I first started riding the Quest but it quickly went away as I continued riding more. I was...

It sounds like you are close Hi Lisa, The Silvio I rode was about the same year as yours but it was equipped with a SRAM groupset with a double up front. My x-seam is about 39 inches so even shorter than yours. I had trouble getting the pedal close enough at normal leg extension but it was...
