I read Mooses thread at Bentrider online and got a kit.Found out I was going faster on the kit than my new Optima lynxx and I wasn't sliding out either.Beach bike path is full of hairpin turns and sand.What other bike can be made into a no weld recumbent just by changing frames? You can have...

Set the ring up like this.Pin is high of ring crank is at end of stroke. The bike works pretty good like this. Jack

Too high also you need rim brakes. Jack

It should look like this.Back of bracket goes inside fork. Jack

I will play with the ring some and let you know. Jack

Got this Shimano bio pace chain ring from Loose screws.com 46t 110 for 14$. Also got a 39t from Harris.Started out with a compact 155 crank with 50-36 rings. The 36 was only good in 2 low gears before dragging and the 50 made starting in heavy traffic a chore.With the 39 -46 I can get started...

This looks like a good one for Doug. Jack

That is a nice clean build it even has the right kind of bars. Jack

Im using the Gary8 bars and do get some pain when riding slow. When I ride harder and pull on the bars more it is easier.I would like to get the bars down about 2-4 inches. How about makning a TFT with a bend where the handelbars are clamped. I did a few mesurements between the conversion and...

I would put a triple on it. Sometimes you just need that small ring for the longer steeper hills. Jack

You need to use the Cruzbike mast and get thread less adapter and a new thread less stem. All the parts in the kit are there for a good reason . The Cruzbike will work a lot better when its put together the right way. Jack

You will like your new Silvio. My bike is set up with ultegra 9 speed triple and 11-32,med cage ultegra d?railleur. It will take some time to develop your bent legs so gear it low. Jack

Nice to have another Silvio in town. Jack

Check out the conversion kit brag board build #7.I like how the bike is set up in the first picture.Short adjustable stem.The cruiser bars are easy to set up and you can really pull on them for some extra power. Jack

Went with the 23s and the ride is no rougher than the 25. Had a lot of small cuts after 4000 miles . I also backed into a cactus plant in my brothers driveway and found 6 spines on the tire that went into the tube so it was time for some tires. Jack

Im too short to have the seat way back so moved it up 2in. Bike rode ok but had to have the boom to short making chain drag on derailer with small front chainring. Jack

I never go back but im still having a blast on my Silvio. Jack
