A torque wrench might be useful for some more important bolts. For an aluminum handlebar clamp it's not really necessary. Hand tightened with the allan key does the job. For a carbon fiber handle bar I would be more careful.

Nice, a picture tells more than 1000 words Thanks

As the second picture shows, both upper clamp bolts were fully tightened which caused bending of the bolts as well on the slider. When correctly tightened, the clamps should have an equal gap on top and below.

I replaced them with a 50/34 with 150mm SRAM crankset I've got from Bob's overstock :-)

These Ultegra cranks are hollow. No way to shorten them. More info on Bikesmith's website (http://www.bikesmithdesign.com/)

Two years ago I changed for shorter cranks. My previous set was 50-39-30 with 165mm cranks (BB included) I used it for appr. 1500 miles (never in wet conditions) $150 +shipping OBO

just JEALOUS !

Will try this by getting rid of my 100mm chainstay extension on my Silvio 2.1. Marc

When I was much younger, I commuted many years. Now I remember how fit I was.

Could you make a picture of it? It would help to understand the problem.

Wishful thinking or reality?

I am. Playing piano flute and piccolo flute, for my own pleasure only.

I think the stock seat is simply too short for such a long upper body.

would like to get some details

I would like to know the weight difference between the Silvio 2.1 and the new S 40

You must have a huge garage ;-)
