I ordered the Spy mirror with I ordered the Spy mirror with my bike, not knowing what the mirror was like. I had been using a handlebar mounted Cycle Star mirror on my P-38. I liked the Cycle Star but it did suffer some from vibration. I also have the mirror that mounts on one's eye...

Andrew, I don't want to be Andrew, I don't want to be hashing over the obvious here but when you mention that you are unable to get more than a trickle out of your Camelbak you do realize that you have to bite the valve with your teeth in order to open it? As i said, my apologies if I'm wrong...

Good shots of the PCS-10 Good shots of the PCS-10 Eric. I have had our Rans Screamer tandem clamped in it's jaws. The Screamer is 8' long, weighs about 55 lbs and it's top tube diameter is 2 inches so this is one versatile and sturdy stand for the home mechanic. As far as storing it goes...

Trek Soho - my towner bike. A Trek Soho - my towner bike. A really nice, low maintenance bike w/Gates belt drive, 8 spd Shimano hub gears and roller brakes. I use it for my shopping expeditions with 2 really large Banjo Bros panniers and if it's a big load I'm hauling I can take my BOB trailer...

I use a Park PCS-10. It works I use a Park PCS-10. It works fine for me. Easy to adjust, sturdy and folds down if needed. I hang it by the feet from the 2x4 trusses on my open garage ceiling.

I have a water bottle mounted I have a water bottle mounted on the steering boom, aerodynamics be damned! It's easy to get at while riding. When summer comes I will probably go back to a water bag & tubing w/bite valve in my Brain Box style bag that hangs on my head rest. Jeremy's...

This thread about adapting a This thread about adapting a rear rack to a Silvio 2.0 reminds me of the old saying about the weather "Everybody talks about it but nobody does anything about it." There are suggestions and musings about what should or what might work but to my knowledge no one...

Oh, now I see what John meant Oh, now I see what John meant about it standing on the forks! Duh. Thanks for that clarification Eric. Too bad, but I have the Ultegra gruppo so no spring release RD for me. On that last point Eric my Silvio did come with 2 of those damnable clamps tho I...

What is this new feature of which you speak? [ Silvio Drive Wheel Removal Wed, 2013-08-14 08:23 (John Tolhurst) "I meant for the RD hanger on Vendetta 2.0 and Silvio 2.0 to be a snap fit, so once in it would stay there. But it didn't work out that way and there is unfortunately no...

Tried that Thanks Jeremy, Yes I tried a longer bolt. In fact I remember writing about that little adventure much earlier. It did not work out for various reasons. (bolts I found were too long and not threaded all the way to the head. They were hardened and extremely difficult to cut and...

[ Tuloose you mention a [ Tuloose you mention a problem with your deraileur hanger. I pulled the skewer out and dropped the wheel. Then placed the deraileur with hanger on the ground. The forks were placed on the ground to hold up the bike. It simply sat there patiently waiting for me to...

I am glad you are bringing I am glad you are bringing these glitches up for discussion pRC. I have already mentioned incomplete or vague assembly instructions. When I received my 2.0 there weren't even instructions yet available for this model. Yes, I can already see that changing a...

When I ordered my Silvio 2.0 When I ordered my Silvio 2.0 there was a rear rack on the accessories list. I ordered the rack but a few days later Maria Parker called to tell me that the rack was for the 1.0 & 1.5 models and would not fit on the 2.0. I was pretty disappointed about this as I...

head rest Unc, look at my posting on 10/25 on the neck & shoulder tension page to see how I modified my head rest. I had the same problem as you but my modification has made me much more comfortable on the bike.

I have been told you must I have been told you must have the external bearing type of bottom bracket. If you look at how the carbon fiber front wheel stays are clamped to the bottom bracket you will see why.

Head rest I never was able to get my head rest adjusted to where I felt comfortable. My head seemed to be tilted too far back so I was looking more up than straight ahead. I cut a piece of the camping pad foam I mentioned into a long strip, 3.5" X 20". I folded the foam lengthwise 4" X 4...

I live in Corvallis and have I live in Corvallis and have a Silvio 2.0 that I am willing to let either of you try out.

Is the cable moving Is the cable moving freely? Loosen the little bolt that holds the cable to the FD. The FD should now shift the chain to the smallest chain ring. Grab the end of the cable and work the shifter with the other hand. Does the cable move back & forth? It could be a...

chainring Unc, you have to cut off the tabs on the inner part of the small ring. I found this out the difficult way since Cruzbike did not provide any instructions on how to modify the chain ring when I ordered the components. I first tried filing away at the tabs, thinking that only a...

Please explain John, Please explain how it acts as a bump stop. I can't figure it out. Thanks
