My bars.  I think I might My bars. I think I might have them cut.

Spinning out because of the Spinning out because of the single chainwheel, 38t. A bit better now, since I discovered my cheap cassette and derailleur were only giving me 6 of the 8 gears. Still hard to get into top or bottom. I am wondering whether I should bother waiting for White...

I am writing this on the I am writing this on the computer at work, instead of working, in order to say I rode it to work. I can do about 17mph on the flat. Faster and I get a wobbly. Coasting down a steep hill, the speedo said 31mph. Very stable, until I tried to pedal. Two things...

I am surprised at how easy it I am surprised at how easy it is. I think that on the conversion-kit, I had a problem with the seat-height. All those on the conversion-kit forum who say you should look at the donor's crossbar are right. The Silvio seat is just a bit higher than the...

How absolutely wretched for How absolutely wretched for you! I thought you were already riding it. I hope you will be doing so soon.

I have an announcement: I RODE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not very far, but I went round some corners.

Same problem with  the front. Same problem with the front. The 160 disk was replaced by a 183 disk. Then I found the handlebar diameter is to big to get the levers on. Getting new bars.

The seat in Super slim's The seat in Super slim's pictures looks like the one on my Grasshopper. Undoing the screws allows the seat to telescope, allowing for back length. The screws screw into a thing which attaches to the frame with a quick-release, allowing adjustment up and down, to...

Me and BentBierz, we are Me and BentBierz, we are similar. We both wanted Rohloff, neither of us could do it, and we both wish the Silvio had a 135 fork. You could do two versions. I guess the market is not big enough to warrant that.

I found that with the 160 I found that with the 160 disk there is just enough clearance, like 1mm.

So, after the IGH debacle I decided to get a Sram XX1 drivetrain. Having been happily married to a Rohloff for 10 years, I am a bit ignorant of this disraeli gears lark. I thought the hub was just the bit in the middle of the wheel, onto which the cassette fits. Turns out that a hub comes in...

Shahmatt says the Vendetta is Shahmatt says the Vendetta is presented really badly. Just give Ivan a Ven, and let him get on with it.

I like heel-clips, and I ride I like heel-clips, and I ride on my insteps. Is the plastic hard enough for heel-clips? How about a kickstand? Print a plastic thing. Take a cast of it in ceramic. Use the cast as a mould into which to pour metal.

Okay, found out how the pump Okay, found out how the pump works. Sorry, as you were, everyone. Still, the shock seems sticky. At a pressure of 100, it barely manages to return.

I am still waiting for the I am still waiting for the LBS to build a wheel, but I decided to look at the fork. I have the fork detached from the bike, and not pumped at all, and I tried to compress it. First it was locked solid, then it suddenly squashed and didn't extend again. I managed to...
