"Basically, chest out; shoulders back; measure width." My shoulder width is 15" as measured by a friend. I am measurement challenged. I like to measure several times and still get it wrong. I think I might go with the Giant cage for the boom and 2 cruzbike cages for the seat.

I just finished riding 150 miles on my S30 over 3 days. I loved the 150mm cranks. I found the seat ok and headrest ok. I did have two issues. 1. I have a water bottle mounted on the slider but my legs would hit the bottle. The condensation also dripped. I looked at mounting a cage under the...

Glad you are still here and riding. I rode 50 miles today on my S30. It is a great ride.

My setup looks similar to yours. My boom length should be 30" by the fit suggestions. It is 34" so I need to cut my boom to get closer to the pic provided by Ratz. Maybe check your boom length? Interesting head rest! Ingenuity is best. On a separate note...I am hoping today's mail brings my...

Great video!

I just sent off the email to bikesmithdesign for the Apex crank at 150mm. Now, I wait.

I stopped by my bike shop to discuss the shorter cranks. He is wanting to use the Sugino cranks 152mm and to change out the bb to a square taper. There were other details about a different tooth size for hills and I think modifying the Sugino triple to a double. He said he doesn't modify the...

Thanks, Robert. The explanation I needed. It makes sense.

I rode my Sofrider 111 miles last week on the Little Miami Trail in Ohio. Great ride. I actually rode 61 miles in one day to celebrate my sister's 60th birthday. One of our close friends was able to jump on my bike and pedal right off. The other had the wobbles and wants to try a different...

The arm reach is the length from your armpit to the center of your palm. So, if you used this measurement your arms would be fully extended; if this measurement is used from the seat back to the handlebar? Correct? Is this the way most folks ride (with arms extended)? About what degree of bend...

http://cruzbike.com/fit.html I looked at the page above and understand where to apply 1, 2, and 4. Where should I use measurement 3 (arm extension) for initial bike adjustment? I assume it is for handlebar reach but I am not sure.

I have both the Q559 and a sofrider. I would go with the Q. Great versatile bike.

What is the hollow tube for in the picture? Is there any reason you should not cover the hole? I had the bike on my rack last week and got caught in the rain. The tube filled up with water.

I've checked my measurements and used the crank calculator. Is the Silvio considered a high or medium BB bike? I'm guessing medium. The calculator says I should be using 150's for high and 155 for medium. There are a couple of choices in each category. Also, based on info from Ratz which gave...

Thanks for all the information. I need to digest it all and pick something that will work on the S30. I believe shorter cranks are my next step either 150 or 155. I don't think I can handle the swap so I'll check with my bike shop also. I'm leaning toward 150s.

My xseam is 39" and I am 67" tall. The distance form the back of my seat to the extended pedal is at 39 so the boom length seems ok. The boom length isn't short but it won't go shorter inside the boom. I could move the handlebars closer. I don't think the boom length is the culprit because I...

I have the new screw installed and the bike shop added anti seize stuff. The guy said it was a bear to get out. This was the 2nd Silvio in their shop for the same reason. The guy said a gal named Hope has the same bike. Went for a short ride today but am having some knee pain that I did not...

Received 2 screws and will be doing the swap today followed by a ride. Happy day!

Cruzbike is the best company. Robert is going to mail me the seat post screw. Yea!

Is there any reason why a quick release clamp should not be used?
