    Squeaking on Silvio 1.5 - suggestions ?

    Sometimes it is that easy Have to say having Maria "manning" support is like being able to contact your Sister or Mom. You just know it's going to get resolved because they give darn about you. Highest praise you can get as a support group. Glad it's getting resolved; ticks and clicks are...

    VIDEO FUTURE

    Eric,The Front Derailleur is Eric, The Front Derailleur is darn powerful; with a longer cage it could handle a big capacity. The Deore XTR is probably stronger but still gen 1 so booko expensive. The MTB stuff will be interesting when the Deore XT shows up; just like when Ultegra did...

    100mm Extension Wanted

    Ah that explain it The wording on the order page is funny They must mean the "FD Stalk would not fit the 1.0" Thanks for the clarification.

    100mm Extension Wanted

    1.0 or 1.5? Hal, It occurs to me.... Don't you have Silvio 1.0 or is it a 1.5? I don't believe the extension works on the 1.0 but that predates my knowledge. If it's a 1.5 or later; those appear to be once again available in the store. Click Bikes > Accessories and look for...

    Drill and Build Ok it was time do the build out. Working off of what Steve and Buddy did I achieved a pretty nice result. This is an 11speed Ultegra setup; but I keep my SRAM Crank Set and Rotor Q-Rings. I went with an all internal cabling setup the same as what Buddy did. First...

    Help with Silvio 1.0 setup please

    Yes that's tricky to grasp at Yes that's tricky to grasp at first; I know I missed the idea at first.. What Jeremy is saving. is 1) Make the boom longer, by extending it at the lower end. That will indeed make your leg reach too far. 2) Then shift the entire boom back...

    Size is relative The Di2 parts showed up today. The first thing that struck me was the actual size of them. When you see standalone photos or close-ups on a bike it's easy to loose track. One of the reasons I waited on the first generation was all the comments about how big everything was in...

    Squeaking on Silvio 1.5 - suggestions ?

    Odd Hmmm I wonder if the wrenches at your LBS are younger. If it's bearing, free hub, or pawls that needs replacing it should have been a simple matter to open the hub, pull the part and order a equivalent from any quality supplier. Bearings and Free-hubs should be immensely easy and the...

    Early Arrival

    Interesiting and time saving. At one point I thought John said he was against the idea of putting water bottles in those locations because of the affect on Air Flow. Sure will be nice to have a seat that has that as a ready made option. (Lenyze Flow Cages recommended) but I wonder which one is...

    Yes it was So yes, but the parts are just getting here. My gosh the battery is so tiny; really need a photo in a person's hand to realize how small this stuff is. They look huge in the bike photos, but they are not. We can have a tangent on why this is the only chain you'll get me to put...

    Bringing it back to Di2 Bringing it back to Di2, so what you are saying Jeremy is that the fin would raise out of the seat pan when the button was pushed; thus creating a turbo boost button? Of course bioshift would do this any time you sandbagged your effort.

    Early Arrival

    Next Question Now if we could find out if they made the production run enough that legacy owners can purchase them; example my S2 seat is looking a little rough after the learning crash in spring; and the shoulder of doom crash that ended the season. :) Maybe Robert can give use the Official...

    Well there you go. Ivan, Looks like you need Di2 to use bioshift so you might as well get your order place.... An indepth hands on with BioShift. However I'd suspect it's bio-detection would be all wrong with a recumbent. Still really cool though. Oh an there's that saddle again...

    Help with Silvio 1.0 setup please

    Now that you are getting the fit dialed in This might be useful; you are probably around step 6 by what you've posted. Here's the script we use when people come to ride the Quests and see if it's for them. We've refined this over a bunch of people this summer; we are at 20 riders as...

    Project Quickr

    The details can get you Jim, Thanks I can't wait to photograph it in the sun light this spring. The real trick is avoiding the one more thing sydrome; tonight I got sucked into looking at Green Chains from KMC, and green bar tape from Lizard Skins :) Which means I'll be able to...

    Momentum....and custom maps Eric that would make sense I hadn't consider Force Load at the crank. I'm consider setting up some custom button function or adding some satellite buttons. The big one I was thinking is it would be nice to have a "macro" button for stop sign approach; one push...

    Conceptually yes. but I get the concept but I'm not sure I fully understand their shift maps/routes but it's really interesting. If you remember back to Maria TT Bars on the Vendetta in the skunk works that never got ridden on RAMM and Charlies prototype with the odd carbon back end...

    For the benefit of others After reading and reading and reading..... I have to wonder if XTR Di2 and Synchro shift might not just be a natural for any Cruzbike. It might be really interesting to have Hydraulic brakes from "anyone" and the XTr Di2 setup. For Massive Gearing on the cassette...

    Video Under Seat with GPS Overlay

    Neat and informative I love it when some writes this stuff up; now I don't have to go learn how to do it. Props to Garmin for making this free; looking forward to using it if the Rideye every ships. Now someone needs to create a way to link GPX/FIT to a time lapse video that's only 1 frame in 6...
