As a new distributor for Cruzbike here in Portland and in the process of setting up my small fleet of Cruzbikes I have been riding them alot - the Silvio more than most at the moment. I have ridden two wheel recumbents of all types since 2005. My first recumbent ever was an old MTB...

Indeed - the Silvio 2.0 seat Indeed - the Silvio 2.0 seat and Vendetta seat pads are the same. Robert

B&M Cyclestar are also very B&M Cyclestar are also very good.

You are going to be in for a You are going to be in for a real treat! Congratulations!

Larry, Interesting. There Larry, Interesting. There must be a slight difference in where everything winds up between that hub and the "altered" DT Swiss 350. The spacing is just not the same. I did a bit of research and found that DT Swiss acknowledges the dust cap swap as an accepted way...

That is some great video! That is some great video! Very good quality!

I just finished a Silvio 2.0 I just finished a Silvio 2.0 build with disc brakes - the 135mm hub will fit but do not expect it to just slide into place - there is a bit of fork spreading involved. But I do believe a 135mm hub is the only way to fit the front with disc brakes, as with a...

That is a sharp looking That is a sharp looking setup!

That looks great! To confirm That looks great! To confirm on the brakes, a 160mm disc rotor will fit in the rear if you want them to match.

Interesting - particularly Interesting - particularly that the Q ring clears without grinding. Triple cranksets are rapidly going the way of the dinosaur it seems, so stock up I suppose! ;-) I do wonder - are you close to stall speed with that low of a granny? When I rode my older...

Having the nut sets for a Having the nut sets for a bottle cage is a very nice feature - it would be a shame to lose those. They fall into the category of cup holders in a car - if there aren't any in a new model the reaction from a buyer would likely be "huh???" I have tried all of...

GREAT pictures and a GREAT pictures and a beautiful Silvio!

Good list That is a good list that will get you rolling quite nicely. I agree with ratz on a lot of his suggestions on chain etc. Disc brakes are going on my Silvio build. Note - I believe the rear requires 140mm for the install. 160mm up front. If I am incorrect here please correct me...

I too would be very I too would be very interested to see detail of how the POC seat fits this bike, as that is my all time favorite seat. I had one on my old Rans Force 5, two other high racers, and an ICE trike. Robert

Not necessarily - these bikes Not necessarily - these bikes take a bit of nuance for each individual. Closed hands is not a bad thing, but "death grip" is. particularly when starting out - think of the bars as bananas. If you squeeze too hard you are going to smash the bananas! Now, just...

Here by the end of the month Here by the end of the month will also have a Vendetta and a disc brake equipped Silvio ready to go as well. :-)

I have found on my Quest the I have found on my Quest the same thing - keep the power on and it is easier to stay straight. Of course at some point you spin out and have to coast. When that happens I agree with John - a lot is in your head and small adjustments make a big difference. Trying to...

I have used Q Rings on all of I have used Q Rings on all of my recumbent bikes and trikes for several years and love the way they feel when set up properly. May give them a shot on the Silvio, but may wait until I get a second Vendetta (personal bike) and go for them at that time. I have...

I find that these bikes are I find that these bikes are as close to riding a motorcycle as it gets, particularly in corners. When pushing it helps stabilize the front end as you can leverage off the shoulders. Pulling seems to be a bit harder - at least it was for me in the beginning. After I...
