    Silvio 2.1 bag advice

    Here is a pic of my Silvio. I use a regular underseat bag attached to the head rails for my phone, food etc. It isn’t exactly what you asked for but might be an option for you. They come in lots of sizes.

    Silvio 2.1 bag advice

    Check out post #2 in the thread by Ivan. There is a pic with his 2.0 https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/silvio-2-0-boom-slider-replaced.12726/#post-151140. He uses a relevant design pika bag.

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    Would the mount attach to the Cruzbike utility post add on? It looks like a really nice bag. Good luck with your tinkering.

    S40 in the fleet

    There are several difference. The ones I can think of are….the Silvio 1.0 has front and rear suspension. The 1.0 has a shorter wheelbase and the seat is at 45 degrees. The forks are narrower than the S40. The front boom is slimmer than the S40. The S40 is setup for touring with available racks...

    S40 in the fleet

    It is more about the headset, I guess, that smooths the handling of the S40. I also like the idea of being able to use wider tires. I am pretty sure Robert said that the cane creek headset isn’t backwards compatible. “Cane Creek ViscoSet® Headset (This premium headset leverages viscous damping...

    S40 in the fleet

    I now have a the opportunity to ride and see the beauty of a 2021 S40. A friend picked up a S40 for a ridiculous price of 2k. Brand new except for 35 miles on the bike. Perfect condition. So, I am lucky to be able to ride a Silvio 1.0, a 2.1, a S30, a S40 and a V20. I take care of my friends...

    New carbon fiber adjustable seat…

    I am fine without a shoulder return. I just feel like the shoulder area should be wider. Of course, where the shoulder is would differ for each person. I guess I really mean the top of the seat being wider which is where my shoulders hit. It would also help in mounting some bags.

    New carbon fiber adjustable seat…

    I’d like more information on the seat. I ride the original seat on my S30. I think I would like something with a wider shoulder area. I love my S30 and my Silvio 2.1. I do think the seat could be improved a bit, at least for me. I haven’t gone the Thor route since the original seat is good but...

    V20 Adjustment Problems

    It looks like you have the old clamp style. These used metal pieces and some foam to keep the headrest bars in place. My guess is that the metal piece has jammed on you. I would probably take both screws all the way out. Look inside the frame for the metal piece. You can probably use a...

    Seat cushion questions

    I agree. IMO, The Cruzbike wedge would work better if is were thinner and not as hard. But I guess you can always cut it but that would take a bit of skill.
