Yes, you are right, according to Wikipedia, "Because of the higher mechanical advantage of V-brakes, they require brake levers with longer cable travel than levers intended for older types of brakes. Mechanical (i.e. cable-actuated) disc brakes use the same amount of cable travel as V-brakes...

Your modification makes you bike look like the Silvio Version 1.0 Have you considered a flared drop handlebar? That way you can use road bike brake levers and have multiple hand positions to reduce fatigue. http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/HBOOMI/on-one-midge-handlebar.

Goodness gracious! Your bike is beautiful! Cruzbike should add that theme option to the V20 lineup maybe a YV20! At what point would you use the 42t sprocket?!

@trplay has this setup and I wanted to know whether it has ever poked him: It really looks nice.

I have seen pictures of @trplay and LIEF ZIMMERMAN with bar end shifters on their Silvio. I am thinking of trying out bar-end shifters on a flared drop bar (On One Midge bar) for my home-build. How have you found them on your Silvio in terms of functionality and safety. Have they ever poked your...

Thanks Rob! Yes, got to enjoy what one has as much as possible.. it's heavy but fun to ride all the same.

Aah the Silvio! :rolleyes: The sound of that always make me dream: I wish I could afford one S30 with a curved boom ... well maybe one day ...

Yes, I also think for a quick day to day use in traffic an upright (bicycle) is little more robust because of the ease to manoeuvre over speed bumps, starting and stoping e.t.c. The recumbent is for the more relaxed longer rides I guess..

Thanks Charles! You haven't posted your rides for a while. Hope you still enjoy your Cruzbike!

Sure is! It's right in the middle (literally) of Africa,:) just below the equator. It's almost always warm!

.. To good health and may you all enjoy your rides

Very cool!

Interesting ...

Great ratz! But I think these ones are even better : http://renovobikes.com/

Ratz to the rescue! Maybe you can send the raw videos to him and let him edit them for you?

Wow! Really nice! Quote: "The quick way to Florida City - Roberto Junior is way the quickest of us - youth or a very fast machine?"

I think it's called a steerer tube extender not stem extender . There are plenty on ebay.

Hello Jim, It Looks like a nicely designed product. However, for for that price, it would only be value for money if it was big (and hardy) enough to be a storage solution not just a water bottle holder. Please consider making it it alot bigger like the http://oceancycle.co.uk/ tail box with...

Great video editing Ratz! Now you should do one with slo-mo! Seeing a clean Silvio build on the road in full action is always inspiring!

Beautiful bike and a nicely matching wheel-set too!
