    Theft / tamper alarm

    Slim I plan to velcro it Slim I plan to velcro it inside the main tube directly under the bottom seat area. I dont expect much water to ever get into that part of the frame. I am a sport rider if I get rained on I will be sitting on the bike. I am mostly thinking that this will be a nice...

    Bullhorn and Dropbar Options

    Carbon Bullhorn test coming Ivan, Thanks for sharing this info. Quality issues aside this opens up a world of engineering via wallet that just isn't possible with high priced products where experimentation would be cost prohibitive. I too find the flare on the stock drop bars a bit...

    The look is hot and futuristliclly hot

    Orientation of the Spy Mirror As a PSA... I read now and then about people who hate their Spy Mirrors. I love mine on my Catrike 700. What I notice is a lot of people do not realize that it is a convex mirror (objects are closer than they appear). As such if they are upside down relative...

    Silvio 2.0 seat pad = Vendetta V2 Seat pad?

    Does anyone know if the new Silvio 2.x seat pad is the same size the the Vendatta? I and loving the Silvio seat angle and it seems to work well for my neck injury. But I work up quite a sweat on the trainer and want to put a ventisit pad onto the bike, as I have had great luck in the past with...

    Silvio 2.0 Build Diary

    Confirmed I was working on adjustments so I ran the cable over the pivot clamp and under the boom. All four do indeed fit. However the link gaps do catch on the protrusions in the plastic bracket. (I'm always surprised that plastic is strong enough for that part). If you want to adjust the...

    Silvio 2.0 Build Diary

    Cable Routing Glad you like it, the bike is a piece of art that makes it easy to photograph. Once I finish proof reading; correcting typos and incorrect info we'll get the PDF built and posted. Yes it should fit under the boom. The diameter of the link cable is about halfway between brake...

    Silvio 2.0 Adjustments

    I was thinking about that I was thinking about that same thing while going through my adjustments. I think I have it down to three options. To get more knee clearance. 1) Lengthen the boom; and then slide the entire works closer to you to compensate for the foot position change. 2)...

    Jagwire parts include but not documented

    My Silvio 2.0 came with a small group of jagwire parts. Two hard plastic cable end cover with a very narrow end; and two rubber inserts of some type. Anyone have documentation on what they are for; and a good idea where they get installed?

    Torque Specs?

    Just checking to see if I over looked any torque specs the frame. For example the Bottom Bracket Clamps. Most everything has locktite blue on it so I am assuming most of the frame isn't depending on torque values to keep things in place.

    Burning feet

    Couple of things to check. 1) Couple of things to check. 1) Make sure your shoes have proper arch support. Bike shoes are like real shoes most have crap for insoles. 2) Move your cleats as far as back on the shoes as possible 3) Loose the straps 4) Do not "scrunch" your toes...

    Insert inside the Elastomer hole

    Ivan to the rescue Larry I was having a heck of a time too. Then I figured out two things: 1) From Ivan thread he mentioned using a need nose pliers to turn it. I finally tried that, after finding that comment, worked like a charm. The I lubed the threads with NAPA Anti-Seize; and now...

    HR Clamps (Silvio 2.0 Manual page 4 )

    That makes sense Thanks Guys that makes sense. I get nervous when I have Bits and bobs left over. Phase 1 of the build is done; and the majority of principle photography is done. The progress should be hitting BROL this week as soon as I have time to crop and convert all the photos.

    HR Clamps (Silvio 2.0 Manual page 4 )

    Hi Eric, Yep that is the Hi Eric, Yep that is the other page I looked at. Unfortunatley it doesn't make any sense; because they don't touch anything. The are on the bars, they don't touch the seat pan, they just float there in space, and the screws are wildly too long. Perhaps John can...

    HR Clamps (Silvio 2.0 Manual page 4 )

    On Page 4 of the Silvio 2.0 manual there is listed item no(s): 3, 4, 5. The diagrams shows Qty 2 plastic clamps being added to the bar of the head rest. Even though the headrest bars are not in the diagram; it seems clear that is the intent. What exactly are those suppose to do? I...

    Insert inside the Elastomer hole

    Not sure I have seen a picture on this before. On the seat tube there is the threaded hole for the Elastomer. There is a meta disc in there with two holes in it. It looks like it is either cross threaded or the tube itself isn't suppose to be cut square. Thought I should post a picture of it and...
