Back at you tribe, in no fit state! Belated happy Christmas. May your new year be happy, prosperous, free from punctures, free from stupid motorists and blindingly fast.

Below is an image of my heel-clips, which I made out of toe-clips. Very easy to get my feet in and out. Power on the downstroke. Normal shoes.

The brakes were really hard to adjust and the bike was really hard to stop. Eventually I realised that the lever-throw was restricted. I turned the levers over so they pointed down instead of up, which solved that problem, but the bar-end shifter was hard to reach. So I got new levers. Now I...

Similar to mine, but I have the brake levers pointing up. I tried downward-pointing levers, but they made the shifter hard to reach.

Greetings Cruzer! You are going to like the bike. You are going to like the forum. My journey to Cruzbike involved a lot of miles on a RWD 'bent, and like you, I discovered that a Cruzbike does not lean very much. If you think, as you enter the turn, that you are doing it right, then you are...

I saw someone on a Silvio in Romford, Essex, UK. I was going past a shop selling full-length mirrors and I glanced sideways for a moment and there I was.

I agree. Get a new one.

I have Microline cranks and BB made by a company called Redline. They are 5 bolt 110 BCD. You need the BB because they are Redline's own design.

I agree with ratz. What he said is theory, and I experimentally verified it. I ride on my insteps, which gives me a short effective inseam. I have my Grasshopper telescoped right in, so I decided to cut the Silvio slider. Unmistakeable immediate improvement. I do not regret it. I also like...

Faired Larry. The rest of us might as well give up.

I like the xx1 on my Silvio. I hate double chainwheels. I have a Raceface wide-narrow 42t chainwheel. I made myself a bar-end friction shifter. The chain seems okay going so far sideways. The chainwheel barely clears the frame. I put a washer on the B bracket axle to move the right crank a...

Well, he is Larry

This implies that you are less directionally challenged than you were. There is progress!

Is there a lot of space between the bars and your legs? I cut the slider short (I said I cut the boom, but ReklinedRider was right, it was the slider). Thus I was able to push the bars forward without moving the B bracket. Big decision because it is irreversible, but I still think it was a...

"Wow, you need big balls to ride that!" "At least I don't squash 'em!"

I had Continental Contact on my Grasshopper and they seemed to be made of incredibly stiff stuff. So much so that it took a long time for me to notice I had a flat. Fast, wear-resistant and almost impossible to get on and off the wheel.

You need a hill that goes down and then up. Or a very strong wind blowing uphill. This I know about because I used to hang-glide.

You do not need chain or cables. You need a hill.

If you don't want your share I will have it. Low carb, schmow carb.
