Good Benchmark Jim, I ride a Good Benchmark Jim, I ride a Silvio 2.0. I recently rode a 40K in 59:30. I do not have any aero things on my bike at this time. My course was a 5.9km mile loop that has 2 sharp turns, 5 set of RR tracks, and about 60 feet of elevation per loop. I live in the...

speed gain from Silvio to Vendetta Bob, On your initial post on this thread (back on 7/07), you stated: "Without having anything dialed in the bike is easily 4-5 mph faster than my Silvio with the exact same components." Are you still seeing those numbers, even when switching back and...

Seriously - Gary (BentAero) Seriously - Gary (BentAero) is a genius, and a bicycle mechanic extraordinaire! So glad he only lives 8 miles from me! I already have my order in for one of these (V Boom Restraints) and I don't even have a V yet.... but not long now.. I can almost taste it! :)...

Thanks Rick, Another reason I Thanks Rick, Another reason I just need to get a V! :) haha!

Rick, How do you get traction Rick, How do you get traction on anything over 15%? From where I am sitting (pun intended), I am in my 34x36 gears, and I can push the gear, but the front wheel just starts spinning under me. Do you somehow pull on the handlebars and go to a more forward...

Bob, I will try your Bob, I will try your suggestion ((switching from #2 to #4) and get back the forum with my results. I think I will just go to my killer hill,, try to ride it and pay attention to when and where I fail, then drive back down, rotate the rings and try again. It would really...

Hello everyone. Based on our conversation over on the "Cruzbike RAAM Team", I have gotten a few details about the PAC tour. Web page: ?http://www.pactour.com/elite.html Briefly it is a 2 week tour from May 11 - May 29 - 2015 It leaves San Diego, Cal and ends up in Tybee Island, Georgia...

Fantastic idea! It would be Fantastic idea! It would be an ideal way for all of us to do something and hang out together without the pressure of trying to train and win RAAM! I thought about doing this anyway, as a way to prepare (and qualify) for RAAM when I was thinking (solo)! Also...

Jeremy, for what  it's worth Jeremy, for what it's worth - I went from a 50/34 round to a 52/34 Q-ring and they seem about the same to me. The 50R was never really enough size for me for downhill runs though, but I didn't know if my dr could handle moving to a 53Q, plus then there would be...

I am able to shift pretty I am able to shift pretty good, although I would have to say that I probably drop the chain going from the small ring to the big ring about 2-3% of the time, which isn't much but not 100% which would be nice. I have not been able to determine if it is just because I...

For what it's worth: Here is For what it's worth: Here is a picture of my Qring setup. It appears to exactly match Bob's setup on frame #15 in this post. I am running 52X34, with 150mm cranks.

Thanks for all the kudos Thanks for all the kudos everyone! I do apologize for how long my story was, but it is extremely hard to condense 12+ hours of action into a paragraph. I want to say again how much I appreciate the support and encouragement that everyone on this Cruzbike forum...

I also like the idea, but I I also like the idea, but I also think targeting 2016 would make more sense. Here are my reasons and other thoughts on the topic It would allow everyone to have time to either get their bikes and bodies tuned up. Also, for those of us financially challenged...

Eric Can't wait to see that Eric Can't wait to see that machine! I will hopefully see you in Sebring then in 2015. I live near Asheville, NC - not sure how you would make the trip (1 or 2 days?) or where you would stop, but can offer accommodations for you if it works out in your plan...

Hello all, I checked the forum for any posts like this and did not see anything. I totally forgot about this event from my 12 hour race last Saturday and suddenly it came to my mind. As I was disassembling my Silvio 2.0 to pack into my car, I took the back wheel off and set the bike on the...

Thanks Eric and Peder. Peder, Thanks Eric and Peder. Peder, to answer you questions: I am 54! Old man already - playing kids games, like racing! haha. But loving it - keeps you young, plus need to put some pressure on those young guns! You're only as old as you feel, right! I did race a...
