My T50 is now a T20 Silvio bars 1 x 11 drivetrain 150mm cranks Carbon Seat Ventisit seatpad 26x2.3" tyres I want to find a stem with less rise to match the boom angle.

Not enough to fit a mudguard.

Bill, Did you manage to fix the boom slider clamp issue? I have the same problem (the outer tube is slotted). I notice the finish on the boom tubes is rougher than the old kit boom, which has never slipped on me. I too am using a Rohloff Speedhub, but with a tensioner.

The stem is a telescoping one I had in a box. Possibly from Performer.

I found that the Silvio suffered wheel-slip on many hills. My house is at the top of a 16-18% hill.

The front seat mount is the one that came with the kit as the rear seat mount. It fits straight onto the rear seat base tube through the frame. I thought about using a Rans clamp but this was easy. I made a U-bracket for the rear of the seat that bolts to chromoly tubes which replace the...

Here is a kit + bike: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Cruzbike-U-S-A-Recumbent-Bike-kit-with-bike-/252335848344?

Do you have a photo of your modified Rapto fork? I have one I am thinking of using with a kit I have.

Charles is correct on all three points. Steering is not affected by the weight of the Rolhoff hub, though it feels front-heavy when lifting it. I have 26" wheels to allow me to use wider tyres. The bike is designed for 700c though. I am using a single chainring and have geared it to give me low...

Anyone tried Nazca style racks? They have one that attaches only to the seat. Another one for heavier loads has a strut to the frame lower down. http://www.nazca-ligfietsen.nl/en/list/models/item/24/

Sorry for the delay in responding. A couple of photos attached:

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...

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...

carbon fiber headrest case Are there any photos of the prototype or mockup showing how the carbon fiber headrest case might look?

Hi Jim & Maria, What is your vision for the future of Cruzbike? .. Duncan

135mm wide Fork would allow the use of either Rohloff Speedhub or SRAM DualDrive - a great improvement over derailleur systems. Road wheels (130mm) could be used with the use of spacers as in some other designs. What about redesigning the fork for 135mm hubs and wider tyres John?

Rohloff Hub on Silvio The Schlitter Encore frames have: Clearance for wheels up to 700c and tires up to 42mm in the rear, and Dropout width adjusts from 135 to 130mm with included spacers. I would order a Silvio 2 immediately if I could easily fit my Rohloff wheel without having to...

What is the smallest size box that the Silvio 2 will fit in without too much dismantling? How long is the wheelbase?
