This was always necessary unless your BB cups are loose in the frame (not screwed all the way).

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.

Talk to an expert. If you haven't, email Cruzbike support (support@cruzbike.com). They might be busy with RAAM right now. You can also have your local bike shop look at it. They will typically blame the "weird" frame design, but sometimes they point out useful things.

Are you shifted to the big chainring or the small chainring when you measure? (Except for Yaw, FD setup is initiated in the small chainring position since there is no cable tension.) Yes, I looked at my bike too.

No. http://si.shimano.com/pdfs/dm/DM-FD0002-05-ENG.pdf And other sources (Google it).

Ah well, I figured it was a long shot. Your second photo above does look odd to me though, like the derailleur is already shifted up. However I am comparing to my SRAM FD.

I would suggest backing it out since it should only take a second to try. The derailleur moves in both directions when you shift.

Is your lower limit screw perhaps screwed in, forcing an upshift?

You might be able to use Rival 22 brifters, Rival 22 FD (or Apex if you don't care about Yaw), and the GX 2x11 RD with pull rate adapter.

Aha, good to know.

I have also read that for 11 speed at least, the SRAM mountain vs. road derailleurs and shift controls have slightly different pull ratios, so mixing those will not work quite right. Look for "exact actuation" versus "x-actuation" branding. If you want 11 speeds, brifters and a 42 tooth cog, I...

Not positive about the S40, but the spacing on the S30 was 132.5.

Aha, looks like they did end up with a bunch of extra clearance after deleting the suspension (assuming these are both stock wheels). Guess you're right.

If the fork height is different (one would expect it to be without suspension), then the steering geometry will change, so you probably don't want to do that.

The cable run for rim brakes would be much shorter. For disks you could probably zip tie the housing to one of the stays.

Anyone know what the semicircular part below the seat might be? Out-of-scale frame plug maybe? Seat adjuster?

They changed the banner on cruzbike.com.

I thought the original Silvio seat angle was 45 degrees?

45 degrees, eh? www.cruzbike.com
