    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    No. My cranks will be 155mm in length. With an old-school square-taper BB, you have to choose how long you need the axle to be to get an optimum chainline (between front chainring and rear gear). Because I will be running a single chainring, I don't need much axle width (would need wider if I...

    S40 Build Notes

    Correct It's shorter. In the future, their will be multiple lengths beyond medium and long, but the details are pending, and there is the speed of ocean freighters involved in the additional so keep in mind that might be a hefty wait.

    S40 Build Notes

    I have question to new chainstay part. I estimate from pictures that new BB clapms goes only above boom and not over external BB bearing. So external bearing is no longer necessary and square-taper BB may be used. Also there is no longer limitation on BCD of crankset what means that smaller than...

    "The New Silvio is Coming"

    The Fit and Adjustment video shows two different chainstay lengths for the S40 (if you pay attention, the chainrings change position relative to the front tire) and in that video Robert says two lengths are available to customers.

    "The New Silvio is Coming"

    From the highlighted comment and the picture, it seems the new stay is shorter than the old "standard" length. My V20 has an "extra-long" chainstay, curved slider, and the stem just 5mm from fully slammed. I'm hoping the new stay will be available in "extra-long" stay as well.

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    I figured the T50 was put together like the Q-series. Since I have the DualDrive, I have a rear derailleur tensioning the chain, so that's never been a problem.

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    ...offset is small enough to not matter in practice, but unlike the Vendetta and Silvio where the chainstay pivots around the front wheel axis, the chainstay pivot on the T50 appears to be a bit in front of the dropouts, which means the effective chainstay length will change a bit with the boom...

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    3) Cruzbike used to spec the SRAM DualDrive IGH on their Quest (predecessor to the current QX100). I assume the Alfine would work in similar fashion. Don't know enough about the Rohloff to say. The distance between the hub and the bottom bracket (cranks) is fixed, just as on an upright bike, by...

    Anyone using a curved slider "upside down"?

    ...price for those riders who are at the borderline, but it probably wouldn't be cost effective for the company to do that. It seems those between 5' 11" and 6' 1" are most unsure about chainstay length. I'd stick with a medium being within half an inch of your height, as I don't like a very...

    What is the length of the standard/medium chainstay of the original S30 (the one with front shock)? -Cliff

    Conversion Kit question

    At the risk of double posting, (in the conversions category) I wonder if anyone might have the actual thread size, pitch and length of the allen-head bolt used to secure the conversion kit chainstay to the fork adapter. Many thanks.

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    Do note that the chainstay length changes with boom adjustment since the front end is not a true triangle. This doesn't meant that an eccentric BB won't work. You'll just have to adjust it to compensate. I would like to know more about the eccentric BB because I have a NuVinci wheel I could use.

    Help with seat issue Silvio 1.5

    The 1.5 has the seat welded to the frame, so no, it is not adjustable. You can adjust the length of the boom, and you can slide it forward and back (which will change the height of the bottom bracket and X-seam distance). You can also add a chainstay extension, if you have long legs. I am...

    T50 - Everyone likes a bike you can kick start

    ...but chain tended to come off. The other option is to use the NuVinci wheel I built up, and use a chain tensioner. Adjusting the boom does change the chainstay length since the front is not a true triangle. I am betting that the inner boom tube will be the same as on the QX, 1.242 inches or so.

    Something new - rather old - or (has Larry gone back to the DARK SIDE)

    It's in the Boom; the Extra chainstay in the front; and the beefed up fork, and the stock handle bars. Boom = 2.333 lbs Fork = 1.75 lbs Frame = 2.75 lbs ChainStay = 1 lb Heatrest pipe = .6lb Seat = 1 lbs Handlebars 1lb Base parts = 10.43 lbs Measured on my scale this afternoon. The full...

    It's Mallet Season

    I can neither confirm nor deny what might be available in the future in performance upgrade bundles..... Bikers would never upgrade their rides to go faster.

    It's Mallet Season

    Fingers crossed that you're demoing the "new" chainstay that was supposed to come out "soon". I think I ordered a standard length one some time ago but was backordered (or something, I forget what...hasn't kept me from riding).

    V20 finding that fit

    Mostly...... The height of rider will make that "vertical position" be relative. The shorter you are compared to someone else riding the same length chain-stay the higher your BB will be; and thus the more vertical you foot will appear. What you are really saying is foot perpendicular to the...
