I have a carbon fiber seat that I want to put on my Silvio but the hollow support ribs on the back of the seat in the area of the seat pan land on the Silvio seat pan "wing" bracket. I have been trying to figure out how I wanted to get around this and the only option that allows the seat to fit...

I have searched on the forums here and by Goggling and still can't find an answer that makes sense to me regarding boom adjustments. Specifically, I am trying to figure out the procedure for getting more knee clearance. Reading the manual it seems that the way to do it would be to loosen the...

Doubt if it exists but thought I would ask anyway...has anyone seen or have a video of installing the front wheel on a Silvio? I had a helluva time installing mine yesterday. My siliconed on derailleur hanger didn't stay on, the carbon stays kept separating from the fork, I dropped my FD on the...

Nice look Ivan! Nice look Ivan!

I'm contemplating making an adapter so that I can use my repair stand and have both wheels off of the ground. I am thinking on using the support bracket hole at the rear of the bike as shown in the picture below. I can easily come up with an adapter that will work and will be quick to install...

I was wondering if anyone else is running disc brakes on their bike and, if so, how are you routing the rear cable? It would have been ideal if the cable exit from the body was on the left side but it is starting to seem that this whole disc brake thing on the Silvio 2.0 amounted to little...

As is probably becoming obvious, I am putting my bike together VERY SLOWLY. This is primarily due to the fact, I'm sure I've already mentioned before, that I am still waiting for a SRAM Red 22 WiFLi rear derailleur and a Force 11-32, 11 speed cassette. I'm not certain exactly what the deal is...

PRICE REDUCED TO $75.00 EACH I just received two new 700c HED rims that I special ordered and, unfortunately, provided the wrong QBP number and will not be able to return them. I was looking for disc rims (i.e. non-machined sidewalls) but instead mistakenly ordered the machined sidewalls...

It would be interesting to know what other bikes, if any, that you own but for a different reason than you might suspect. I have just become a new member of the Cruzbike community (Silvio 2) and have part of my bike assembled but still waiting for parts to arrive to finish it. Once...

Hi Tom...welcome to Hi Tom...welcome to Texas...which part of this big state are you bringing your fleet of Cruzbikes to?

I am wondering what area on the Silvio 2.0 frame is the best for clamping into a repair stand. My wife wants the Silvio box and parts off of the dining room table (I don't see the problem ;) ) so I thought I would take it out to the garage and get the frame clamped into my repair stand so that...

I was wondering if there is something particular about the Silvio 2.0 headset or could a Chris King et al be used instead? Thanks.

Related to my Rohloff installation on my Silvio 2.0 build, I am currently planning to use the Co-Motion Rohloff drop bar shifter (http://www.co-motion.com/index.php/product/rohloff-shifter) but don't think it will work with the standard Rohloff handlebar. According to an email I got from...

While checking to see if my Rohloff wheel would fit in the Silvio, I noted the fairly tight clearance between my Schwalbe Marathon Supreme (700 x28) and the fork crown so I started looking at other tires online. I came across some really good reviews for the ?Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp tires so...

As I have mentioned in a few other threads, I am most likely going to build my new Silvio with a Rohloff Speedhub. I love the hub and its gear range, especially with a double up front. For arguments sake though, if I was to go with conventional gearing, what cadence vs. speed would indicate...

Well, after more than 3 years pondering whether a MBB was right for me, with the arrival today of a Silvio 2.0 frameset I have finally joined the Cruzbike family. I bought two bikes and sold one of them during this period of confusion. Each time I considered buying a Silvio but then let all...

I was wondering if someone could tell me what the front and rear axle spacing is on the Silvio 2.0. I am going to build my own wheels and would like to start pricing hubs (also would like to build up a SON dyno rear wheel if the spacing will allow it). Thanks.

I apologize if this has been previously asked but I wasn't able to find the answer anywhere in the forum. I am interested in the Silvio 2.0 but have a question about the ?Cruzbike 700c Aero 67s road wheels. I typically weigh between 220# and 230#. I was wondering if the spoke count on these...
