Congrats on going Silvio! Where are you located? Mark

Nope, no training wheels! You'll just have to get Kyle to run alongside! Remember, if you get into trouble, the easiest thing to do is to stop pedalling and straighten your legs, which effectively locks out the steering. I know it's easier said than done, especially when your mid panic...

:lol: :lol: I got it.... Medicinal... :lol: :lol: I was OK with the Mountaintrack conversion on most road surfaces. Some of the rougher streets will rattle your fillings out, but not too bad. Are you going to ride that on the 21st? Mark

Ooooh.... Sorry you crashed! It sounds like you were getting the hang of it, so I hope you stick with it! Mark

Temporarily, at least. I have loaned out the Poor man's Silvio to a friend of mine from the bike club. He's been lurking on this site and very interested in Cruzing, so he's going to give the PMS a trial to see how he likes it. Mark

Oh thank God.... My Cruzbike fix! Mark

Here's a picture of me pre Cruzbike: And here is me currently and one the the few rare pictures of me riding my silvio Mark

It's starting to all come together, now. Pretty soon, you'll be wondering how you ever got along without this bike! Good report! Mark

What are the chances of getting the bags to ride higher? They're kind of hanging down in the airflow a little.... Not bad, but definitely down there. Good Job! On your computer; I've found that the easiest way to change flats is to flip it over on the seatback and handlebars. Will your...

Yes, but it robs you of energy. There's scientifical studies and tons of anecdotal evidence to prove it, to! :roll: :lol: :lol: Sorry... I couldn't help myself. :twisted: :oops: Mark

Yeah.... It's pretty much too late for you.... You will be assimilated! Mark

Jack moves the same kit over from bike to bike. He's discounting the kit price. Mark

I busted out the PMS on my commute to work this morning. Riding at my own pace, some more issues came to light. First, I need to spend some time adjusting the derilleurs. It was not shifting like I like and I really cannot run on the 52 any lower than my top three cogs, or I get chain rub...

Yeah..... But to get that close and to not at least ride it.... :idea: Get one of those cheap actionbent seats. It would be good for prototyping other stuff, too and you wouldn't have to needlessly drill holes in your good seat! Mark

I think it would be cool! I suppose anything could be converted, it just depends on what your skills are and how much time/effort/$$ you're willing to invest. Mark

Re: Trek MT220 Model Recall So.. A cruzbike conversion will be bike #28? :shock: Dude.... I thought I was bad! :lol: :lol: Mark

Re: Trek MT220 Model Recall Cool! Once you get it built up, you'll have to post some pics! Mark

I took the PMS out on our club breakfast ride today. I headed out from home and right away I could tell this was no Silvio.... Oh, it was OK and it was fairly fast, but it wasn't the entire package. First thing I noticed was, I had to do something different with my stem arrangement, as I was...

+1.... I think the air Zound is obnoxious and I'd be hard pressed to use it. I mean, it's rude to take up the whole path, but two rudes don't make a polite. :shock: :roll: The SART is fine most of the time, there are just places near parks that are always busier and you have to pick your...

It's almost 50 here this morning, right now. Think I'll go out for the breakfast ride and rack up another 30, or so. :D I'm going to take the mountaintrack conversion this morning. First real ride on that. Mark
