    Offroad on a Cruzbike

    Generally FWD on loose gravel Generally FWD on loose gravel doesn't work very well especially uphill. You will need some low pressure tires with plenty of grippy surface area, otherwise it will be frustrating.

    Initial Conclusions on the Silvio 2.x Cockpit for distance riding

    What about the On-One Midge Bar? I found some pictures of original WTB, new WTB and a Midge on the mtb forums and thought it would be interesing for those looking for alternat bars. The Midge Bar seems closer in resemblance the Origin 8 bars and is in production in both 25.4 and 31.8 clamp...

    Silvio 2 and Vendetta Wow ?@scabinetguy, your position on your two bikes are almost identical! When I superimpose your two pictures, the Silvio places your head slightly higher, about 1.5" to 2" by my estimation. That may explain the difference in speeds above 22mph (approx 35Kph), in...

    Bullhorn and Dropbar Options

    Try bridging to accelerate Nice work ratz! The "quiver" idea really looks cool. Getting the water bottle looks like you are fetching an arrow lol! I couldn't help but notice that you seem to sit up to put power on the pedals. If you have no known back problems then maybe you should try...

    Let's talk front wheel removal

      .. I'd like the chainstay Hello John, I respect your designs they are very well thought out. However I was wondering whether it is possible to actually have a dropout but move the pivot or rotation point and the RD hanger hanger to be just above the dropout as a press-fit or a...

    It all about the volumes If it was possible to make the two models to share as many components as possible then their volumes will compensate for each other hence their prices can only be slightly different from each other, hopefully even lower. For example, hypothetically speaking, if...

    Rack solution for the Silvio 2.1

    It looks like it interferes It looks like it interferes with the suspension. As the suspension flexes, something l will eventually give. It should either be exclusively linked to the rear seat stay or the main frame i.e (seat back, and/or neck rest) but not both.

    Mobius ActionCam on a Cruzbike Silvio 2

    Wow! Great video and great Silvio handling! Great video Ivan! That maneuver at 0:27 is brave to say the least! However a mounted camera can make it look more scary than it really is because it doesn't give the almost full 360 degree view that the rider actually has considering the Zefal...

    Bullhorn and Dropbar Options

    Unlike the Pinarello, Silvio's handlebar doesn't support weight Whatever the case, the main advantage that the cruzbike has over the Pinarello is that the handlebar does not support the rider's weight during the ride. So in the unfortunate event that the handle bar fails, the feet will still...
