    Short Crank Arms

    hard to tell Rick, Do you mean the "top" photo just above that last bottom photo? Not really sure - there are 2 sets of 3 photos. 1st set was with 100mm ext, 2nd set with 60 mm ext. plus new Ventist seat pad. (which I think moved me farther away from BB) Truthfully it is a little hard to...

    Short Crank Arms

    Now with 60mm extension I also switched out the seat pad for the new Ventist seat pad, so I think that had the affect of extending my max leg extension out maybe another 10mm. I think I have room for my water bottle now below the boom now, but maybe not as Aero as I was with the 100mm...

    Good Showing at Midwest Recumbent Rally

    Great photos Bob Thanks for sharing! What a lovely family. "The family that 'rides' together, 'sweats' together." (or something like that) I wish I could get even "one" of my 5 family members to ride with me! (It must be the sweating thing - none of them like to sweat like me!)

    Short Crank Arms

    leg rotation with 150mm cranks and 100mm extension I am very pleased so far with my change over to the 150mm cranks. No more flailing. Climbing is also no problem so far Here are some pics of my leg extensions as I rotate through. My knee bend is just about 90 degrees now, so that is...

    updated picture and availabillity line only It just looks like they updated the picture on the website, and the first line of text showoing All the description still looks exactly like the Silvio 2.0, and even "options" area where you check what you want to add to your cart still says "Silvio...

    Instructions off Rotor website good Thanks Bruce for the link (?http://www.rotorbikeusa.com/pdf/Q-Ring%20Recumbent%20instructions.pdf) to the instructions off the rotor website. They where pretty clear and easy to use. It did not take me very long to set up and install the Q-rings. I...

    Tire Size for Vendetta

    I have seen 28's on BentAero's V2 It is a very tight fit, but works! I know Gary is running tubeless, but he will have to confirm his wheel and tire types as I cannot remember

    Transition from Silvio to Vendetta

    what about your headrest Rick, Your headrest looks very nice. Does your head set on it, or only your neck? You obviously choose something other than what came with the set, you must prefer it. Where did you get it? type? price? Thanks, Larry

    Short Crank Arms

    150mm cranks installed - waiting on Q-rings Last night I installed the 150mm cranks on my S2.0 (Thanks for the help BentAero). I did a short, easy 15 mile test ride to work this morning. I had not ridden in a week, since I rode my 150 mile (mt. mitchell torture ride) with "new" 100mm...

    Need 100mm Silvio Chainstay Extension

    my impressions on the 100mm extension on my S2.0 I put it (the 100mm extension) on last Thursday (2014.07.31) and finally rode a long ride on Saturday: 150 miles with about 15,000 feet of climbing. I think my reach was over-extended and I developed debilitating cramps in both calves, plus my...

    looking for a Vendetta front end

    I currently have a Silvio 2.0 and have read the threads on the replacement of the SIlvio front end with the Vendetta front end. I think this would be great and would like to pursue experimenting with this setup. If anyone has a Vendetta front end they would consider selling or knows someone...

    Advice on Vendetta gearing

    wow - 40 on the back 39 on the front Since this is thread on gearing, I guess I had to chime in. I have a 50/34 with 11x36 on the back (bottom really). The 50 teeth on the large chain ring is just not enough for going downhill. I wish I had 52 or 53, as I can't really pedal fast enough to...

    Advice on Vendetta gearing

    Heart rates and the definition fo "old" My 2 cents: I am 54. I have only been riding my Silvio just over 5 weeks on the open road now (not counting the week I just came home from work and road around my subdivision because I did not trust myself not to swoop into a car going by! haha), but...

    Short Crank Arms

    I think I need smaller crank arms too Wow, I was astonished to see my knee angle was 60 degrees (or less). Ouch! No wonder my knees hurt!!!! I am hoping that adding the 100mm chainstay extension will open it up a little bit, but according to my calculations even that ane 150mm crank arms...

    Short Crank Arms

    Great Idea!! Thanks Tom, Yes, I am hooked on Cruzbike after only having and riding my Silvio 2.0 for less than 2 months. I really want to get a Vendetta now, but the cost is making to step back and evaluate it closer. WIsh I had unlimited funds!! I would be nice to have a Silvio to train...

    Front wheel sizing

    In talking with Jim Parker a In talking with Jim Parker a week ago, he indicated that they where going to have 132.5mm fork for the Vendetta. I was not sure if it would be an option over the 130mm, or if it would be the only option. Maybe you can check on your order. You might get lucky and be...
