Here you go Jeremy .

Living in Corvallis, Oregon

For anyone thinking of mounting a water bottle cage on the boom I did it without drilling into the boom by using 2 pieces of double sided, thick sticky tape between the bottle & boom where the bolts would normally go. I then secured the bottle cage down with 2 zip ties. The trick here is to get...

I initially found the seat angle on my Silvio 2.0 to be too extreme also. I actually found it more difficult to adjust to the laid back seat angle than to the MBB design. I experimented with yoga mat foam padding added to the seat & head rest to bring me into a slightly more upright position...

Good going Jeremy! I have yet Good going Jeremy! I have yet to do a century on my Silvio. This Wed our group is riding out to the Rogue Ale's Hopyard near Independence, OR - about 70 miles round trip.

What ride was this that you What ride was this that you did? I lived in Orlando & Winter Park for 28 sweaty years. I was a member and served on the board of the Florida Freewheelers bike club. Met my wife on the 6 day Bicycle Safari back in 1991. I did a number of centuries, the...

I have a Cycle Star mirror on I have a Cycle Star mirror on my P-38 and it is a good mirror, the only problem being that it get a bit of vibration coming up thru the longish arm. I have 2 Zefals on my Silvio and really like them. No vibration at all due to their solid mount and a good field...

I hit a patch of slick mud on I hit a patch of slick mud on a bike path on a Django I had once. I was going in a straight line too but the bike went out from under me and bruised my butt when I landed hard. With the accident on the Silvio I didn't even have time to react so I went down...

I have not had the chance yet I have not had the chance yet to do any multi days rides on my Silvio 2 but if I did it seems to me that a good trailer might be the Extrawheel. http://www.biketrailershop.com/extrawheel-voyager-bike-trailer-p-1377.html It is a light weight single wheel trailer...

So there I was, lying in the middle of the road, unable to move, trapped by my Silvio as if my body was in a Chinese finger puzzle. How did I end up in this predicament and is this a first or has it happened to other Cruzers? I was riding along in the central Oregon Coast Range hills with 2...

Thanks for the feedback Thanks for the feedback everybody. The inline gear indicator will not work with my Shimano Ultegra brifters. The gear cable leaves the lever and goes right under the bar tape so there is no place to mount the indicator. As far as missing a shift - well I just...

I will give you my opinion I will give you my opinion TallyHo, which will differ somewhat from that of iow's. I have never tried the bull horn bars you mention. The flared drops came standard with my Silvio 2.0. They work very well for me - comfortable and wide enough to allow leveraging to...

My experience with the front My experience with the front shock is the same as what iow said. above. I keep the pressure at the recommended 150 lbs and it only reacts to hard hits. The suspension, both front & rear, is very minimal but I always get a smile when I notice it working. There...

I really appreciate anyone I really appreciate anyone trying to come up with a solution to mounting a rack on the new Silvio. I wish I could mount a rack on my 2.0 and in fact I was led to believe that this was possible when I ordered my 2.0 and the accessories list had a rack as an option...

I know this is a divisive I know this is a divisive subject that has knocked around BROL and other bike specific sites ever since Q Rings came out. There are the True Believers and the few Skeptics out there. I have tried Q Rings and in my opinion they make no difference at all. If there is a...

Santee Steve, check the Santee Steve, check the archives for various postings on dealing with the seat angle on the Silvio 2.0. At the bottom of the 2nd page is something on seat angle causing shoulder & neck tension.

I ordered the Spy mirror with I ordered the Spy mirror with my bike, not knowing what the mirror was like. I had been using a handlebar mounted Cycle Star mirror on my P-38. I liked the Cycle Star but it did suffer some from vibration. I also have the mirror that mounts on one's eye...

Andrew, I don't want to be Andrew, I don't want to be hashing over the obvious here but when you mention that you are unable to get more than a trickle out of your Camelbak you do realize that you have to bite the valve with your teeth in order to open it? As i said, my apologies if I'm wrong...

Good shots of the PCS-10 Good shots of the PCS-10 Eric. I have had our Rans Screamer tandem clamped in it's jaws. The Screamer is 8' long, weighs about 55 lbs and it's top tube diameter is 2 inches so this is one versatile and sturdy stand for the home mechanic. As far as storing it goes...

Trek Soho - my towner bike. A Trek Soho - my towner bike. A really nice, low maintenance bike w/Gates belt drive, 8 spd Shimano hub gears and roller brakes. I use it for my shopping expeditions with 2 really large Banjo Bros panniers and if it's a big load I'm hauling I can take my BOB trailer...
