Hi Jack, WhiteSilvio here. I haven't been riding for a while. I still have my original 2007 Silvio MK1 I would like to get back on the bike. Currently 21mm tires fitted. What is the widest tire I can fit without having interference problems with the front fork? Do you have this information...

SPOTTED ON BENTRIDER.COM I was most interested to see the article on Bentrider "Recumbent Cycle-Con 2015 Coverage (part 1)". When in the 'Read More>>' mode, some way down the page came upon a Cruzbike entry showing an updated prototype of a tilt mechanism. I was very intrigued to see the newer...

Just a couple of Questions re mechanism Hi Phillip. I think I understand your seat mechanism now, (downloaded the video and played it in slowmo) but I just wish to clarify a couple of minor things. Firstly the seat lives in the up position by default? Is there a way of locking it down...

Rollers 2 Platform Location Hi Larry, I have a couple of questions regarding the platform which goes with your "set of Kreitler rollers with the headwind trainer". How have you located/aligned the platform relative to the rollers and roller frame? And is the platform resting on the...

Revisiting Handlebars - Alternative Mounting Hi TallyHo, Here is a link to a discussion that took place back in 2012 on Handlebars. http://cruzbike.com/handlebars Looking and reading about what I assume you are trying to achieve, I offer an alternative to mounting the handlebars...

Altering the Seat Angle Since there are people who would like a different seat angle, it occurs to me that it would not be a major stretch to make some sort of light wedge shaped frame to go between the rising frame at the back and the back of the seat. Since the seat is now supplied in...

Leveling out the bike Jeff, If you are using the front wheel out of your Quest, is it a stretch to think that you could also use the rear wheel as well? I speak without any knowledge of the dropout sizings for the rear wheel from your Quest or the Sofrider. But it may well be worth...

Quest out the door There you go. Right way UP, even down-under.

Speed Cadence Sensor for Garmin 500 and more HI. I posed the very same question on this forum some time back with regards to my Silvio with a chainstay extension added. I didn't get any responses here, but I posted on the Garmin (Edge 500) forum and someone came up with the Wahoo Fitness...

Another Chainstay Extension Fitted The only drawback so far is that the Garmin sensor for speed and cadence cannot do both functions where it was on the carboyoke. I have a remedy for this but haven't had time to do something about it. Additionally I think I'd like to live with the...

Another Chainstay Extension Fitted Hi, Just thought I'd post on another chainstay extension "conversion" for a 1.0 Silvio. Finally got around to ordering the extension, and did this when I was ready to overhaul my drivetrain. I felt it was time to do something with the drivetrain, the...

Hi. I'm reposting this as a separate thread/topic as it seems a little inappropriate in the "seat mods for tall riders" thread. I've just finished posting some photos of my Garmin cadence/speed sensor for Jeffrey (in another thread - Garmin Speed & Cadence Sensor Mounting) and it occurred...

Chainstay Extensions and Garmin Cadence/Speed Sensor Hi. I've just finished posting some photos of my Garmin cadence/speed sensor for Jeffrey (in another thread) and it occurred to me that with either of the chainstay extensions fitted to the bike the magnet on the pedal crank arm will no...

Garmin Sensor Hi Jeffery, Here are a couple of photos of my Garmin Cadence/Speed sensor mounted on the bike. I have not included photos of the Garmin Computer unit mounted on the handlebars as my handlebars are a different arrangement to most. Hope this helps. Regards, John...

Hi Jack, Just wondering what your X-seam is? (I have an X-seam of about 104cm or about 41 inches in the old money.) I am considering the 100mm extension and figured it would raise the BB by around 125 to 150 mm. Interesting to hear your experience of the modification...

Link to Vendetta Assembly Manual Hi Peder, Just tried this again and it didn't work. The file appeared to download, but it did so with a file size of Zero 0. I am attaching a screen shot of the error message in Adobe Reader 10. Regards, John.

Vendetta Assembly Manual link Hi Peder, When I tried the link, the file downloaded but Adobe Reader indicated that the downloaded PDF file was in some way "compromised" and thus unreadable. I think someone, at Cruzbike, needs to check out the file to see that it is "okay". John...

Clarification Hi Drew. Can you please clarify the 60mm movement, This is an enormous amount of movement. In whichever direction you are talking about. (IMHO) Even travel up and down as part of the 'suspension travel'. John

Alternative handlebar setup Hi mickjordan, I offer an alternative to the Origin8 bars. I prefer the standard roadbike drop 'bars and I originally had them mounted using the original fitting on the end of the telescopic boom. However I wanted more room for knees and a slightly longer...
