    Rohloff SPEEDHUB Silvio S30 v2.2 Build

    ...TO ATTACH MOUNTAIN BIKE HANDLEBAR TO S30 2.2 model (2015) The Silvio S30 2.2 model (2015) can accommodate mountain bike components, like the Rohloff hub. But mountain bike handlebars and components have a smaller diameter than road bike handlebars and components. So, there is no way that...

    Experiences Silvio S30 installed a Schlumpf SD/HSD & Rohloff hub ?

    I use a Rohloff on my FWD Raptobike. I don't use any front chainrings at all but I do use a 53tooth Q-Ring. It rides very well and you don't notice the weight on the steering at all. Now that bike isn't a MBB FWD but it rides like it is on rails and corners like a dream.

    Experiences Silvio S30 installed a Schlumpf SD/HSD & Rohloff hub ?

    I've ridden with a nuvinci n360 (heavier than rohloff) in my softrider and it doesn't handle any worst than when I was trying out the cruzbike conversion on an old 24" kid's bike with derailleur. Paruig, how big a 26" can the Silvio take ?

    ...feedback from somebody who actually rode with one would be good.) 2) I wouldn't think the hub would affect the size of rim that could be used. (I've been wrong before). 3) A fair number of people use a Rohloff hub with a double or triple crank. This allows you to have a tremendous range.

    Experiences Silvio S30 installed a Schlumpf SD/HSD & Rohloff hub ?

    Thanks fore the photos you shared and i have some some questions to you sir :) Does the Rohloff gear hub weight inflict your steering stability ? Is it possible to install the Rohloff in 700 C front wheel ? When climbing hills normally 2 or 3 q rings would be needed on the crank , does the...

    Experiences Silvio S30 installed a Schlumpf SD/HSD & Rohloff hub ?

    ...and publish it here at the forum site ? I find it technically interesting to know how ratio calculators show what happens when using a Rohloff in combination with 26 or 28 inches wheels and the difference in how many meters the bike moves foreword . It shows that bigger sized then 26 inches...

    Experiences Silvio S30 installed a Schlumpf SD/HSD & Rohloff hub ?

    I have been using A Rohloff Speedhub for a while now and am very happy with it. It is a 26" wheel I have owned for a few years and the lack of maintenance is a plus for me. The Silvio dropout did not allo me to fit the Rohloff chain tensioner so I am currently using a front derailleur as a...

    Direct drive recumbent.

    ...post plans and stuff, I'll eventually find out someone handy who has a workshop and owes me a favor ;o) Only question I can think of: could a Rohloff be adapted to direct crank use? If so it may make for a less ginormous front wheel hub assembly (not sure how many gears would be useable either).

    ...a while with the review now years old. i am sure either rick or ratz will give you some info on their silvios or better yet may know of some rohloff conversions? not sure i would add weight to a fast bike though especially with 11-42 and a compact crankset. still it is a wide field cycling...

    Experiences Silvio S30 installed a Schlumpf SD/HSD & Rohloff hub ?

    ...were I to do it again. It is far more simple, it is (quite a bit) lighter, you have less cables to run, and the range is about the same as a Rohloff. Or, I might just go with the Rohloff. They *are* pretty sweet, and they require far less maintenance after riding in the rain while having...

    Have you tried to reinstall the Scram tensioner together with your Rohloff single speed hub and that does not work ? Normally in order to use the Rohloff hub a Rohloff single speed tensioner is required ?

    Wat is the difference between the Silvio 2 and 3 ?

    ...Jeremy. Seams the Silvio 30 is a lot improved compared to the 20 version ! My plan is to rebuild the bicycle with my own specifications. Rohloff single speed hub 14 gears with Gates belt drive and Gates single belt crank drive. I still have to look in some specifications on the Silvio frames...

    Rohloff Chain Tensioner

    Don't know about Rohloff, but I mounted a generic fixie-type spring-loaded tensioner on my Silvio by drilling & threading a 10mm hole in one of the dropouts in a position similar to where they are on a "normal" (HEH) bike. It has worked great for a couple years with a Shimano Nexus 8 speed...

    Possible to mod for gates carbon drive and internal hub?

    ...You loose 1.2 watts minimum with a belt drive and I think there could be problems with 85 lbs (39 kgs) preload required on the BB bearings housings and suspension movement. I do not think that a Silvio would be rated as stiff enough frame to meet Rohloff warranty requirements.

    Rohloff Chain Tensioner

    I fitted a Rohloff Speedhub to my Silvio and found the Rohloff chain tensioner will not fit the derailleur hanger. There seems to be too much metal around the mounting hole on the derailleur. The "end stop peg" on the tensioner gets in the way so the derailleur cannot be bolted on. I have used...

    I never had a problem with I never had a problem with the Rohloff shifter on my Grasshopper. The only bad thing about Rohloff is the weight. So they replace a perfectly good shifter with extra weight.
