A good steel frame will last forever and can be fixed and recycled. An aluminum frame has a lifespan even with moderate use as the material can only take so many cycles. A CF frame "is forever" only in that it lasts and lasts and lasts just like nuclear waste in a landfill.

This is indeed a great idea and one I have done for various bikes. :-)

Tim, Shoot me an email at support@cruzbike.com. If you can, please send me a few pics of your DR hanger, as the Silvios during that time were using varying hanger types and I would want to make sure you get the right one. Robert

I would echo Larry.

I am now aware of aftermarket skewers for mag-type trainers that have the same types of ends that the stock trainer skewers have. It is possible to just see the stock CB skewer and swap out the one end. A direct drive trainer of course works much better as the bike is supported by the fork and...

Jim, We should have a replacement for that. Send me an email at support@cruzbike.com

I have not heard about any stolen bikes or frames on my end.

Thats an actual S30. There was only one production run of that particular frame. You can tell due to the triangular shape of the hole in the back brace. All previous Silvios had circular holes.

You look to have the rack for the Q45 which is wider (wider lower bar and different spacer set) than the rack for the S40

Amazing video and the perfect bike for that type of trail.

I use the Terrano X intercom. Works great for talking to others who have it and also for music. Mounts pretty easily to any helmet. I have never had a hard time with my glasses under the Giro helmet - maybe larger glasses would be a bad fit but not the ones I wear.

The long steer tube is there to allow for a better fit for all riders. Easy to cut the steer tube short for shorter riders, but not so easy to make it longer.

Just a quick note for future for anyone seeing this thread - the S40 is basically a disc brake only bike. There are (to my knowledge) no calipers that have the reach long enough to work - other than possibly the old hanky BMX ones of days gone by that never really worked. I always recommend...

I will also agree that the Schwalbe One is a great tire for grip.

Titanium is a horrible recumbent frame material IMHO. Good for uprights where you can have short tubes. Too flexy for recumbents. My opinion of course.

My current favorite tire is the Michelin Pro 4 Endurance. Fast and LOADS of cornering grip. Clinchers and tubes. No mess no fuss on and off the rims without tools (but not TOO easily on and off) Win.

All - Yikes. I don't like reading about wrecks. Accidents happen. Glad people are recovering! That said - Please do not re-bend chainrings and stuff to "fix" them. You can never get it exactly straight again and risk the chain dropping at a most inopportune time. Replace any and all broken or...

Standard QR everyone.

Not as easy as that - the S40 is still THE S40. IMHO this is a workable idea for "S40 like" but the stiffness, etc of the frame is not the same. Will be watching though to see how it goes. Robert
