    Silvio 2.0 Modified Seat

    Burning feet

    I had a lot of hotfoot on my I had a lot of hotfoot on my Bacchetta. It got a lot better when I got stiffer shoes. I use Bontrager Road shoes with a full carbon sole. That almost fixed it on the B. I don't get any hotfoot on the Silvio. I think the side to side movement helps. I also use...

I would imagine that cutting the threads in the Silvio boom would be much easier than on a DF frame. The threads on my Silvio were smooth and the BB threaded in easily. I'm about to build...

    qrings on Silvio

    If you spin at a high cadence If you spin at a high cadence and your pedal stroke is even, then you probably would not benefit. I don't spin, I mash.

    Silvio 2.0 Modified Seat

    I really like the Poweron I really like the Poweron Cycling fiberglass seat. It's about the same weight. I used this seat for years on my Bacchetta, so it's very familiar. It was very easy. I added 1" spacers after the first ride for a little less recline.
