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...

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

Hi Janet, I'm just wondering what part of the world you are in? You say you are prepared to ship to the US, so I'm surmising that you're not in the US! Regards, John R.

Hi John, So just to clarify, this means that any changes or posts done in the intervening time will be lost when the January 27 backup is reinstated? And secondly, is there an anticipated date for the new site being "up and running"? Regards, John R.

Re: Air shock problems Hi Landecker, I had problems with my front suspension unit. I road with it dropping pressure for some time, pumped it up to 180 psi and yet it always dropped to 60 to 70 almost straight away, and the rubber cover looked like the shock/spring was flat, which it effectively...

Hi Murray, Yes, hairspray does work quite well. It allows the grip to slide on before it sets and then holds it in place. Conversely, removal of the grip can be achieved by inserting a small screwdriver between the 'bar and the grip and gently working your way around to break the "glue". Then...

Hi Mari, I have to say when I saw the bike name I thought that you were having "a lend" (having a little joke), but I see with some investigation that this is indeed a "real" bicycle! :? So because I'm not an expert in the area of "kit conversions" I'll post these pictures and allow others to...

Re: New Silvio on the road CGSV-058 Hi Drew, Nice Silvio!! You'll be flying soon! :D Did you build the bike up yourself? Regards, John R.

Hi Doug, It was indeed interesting to see Maria's split times for those first laps on her yellow stallion. I missed reading about Maria's crash on Jim A's blog, so I wondered why the yellow bike was retired. I reckon that the yellow machine is much better aerodynamically than Jim's machine (I...

Hi Mark, That's a pretty fair old ride, 4 and 1/4hours in the seat, and 27kph+ average, on what was clearly not a flat run. Good effort. I take it that the other riders were almost exclusively DF riders? Do they complain that they don't get much of a "draft" off you when you're leading? I get...

I fancy one a bit like the Zockra Kouign Amann special. Only it would obviously be a little "taller".

So my question for John T. is "Should I be stripping the rear suspension assembly from my Silvio and filing the radii at either end of the titanium leaf spring clamping assemblies?" I have had a close inspection, well a good look anyway, of the spring and I can't see any obvious cracking, but...

Hi Mark, Interesting report, and a feeling I have quite a bit of the time with some reasonably strong DF riders. (There are no other recumbents in the groups I like to ride with; they're a rare breed around here.) I have a question though: how much older or younger than you are these...

If it is possible to help someone with questions on Cruzbikes and/or maybe even have a look at a Silvio, it may be possible that I can help. Drop me a PM and I'll see what can be arranged. John. aka WhiteSilvio

Hi John, The new format/skin is a definite improvement on the old one. It would be good if the new format blue border extended to the Board index page. What are the chances?? Still getting used to the new John T avatar; certainly different. :) I went the other way a number of...

Re: Two reasonably priced bag options for the Silvio Hi there Stuart/Flasharry, Just a quick question without notice. (I'm not really trying to hijack the "bag" thread) In general I am not a fan of mudguards/fenders, but of all the ones I have seen in pics...

Hi Brewmaster, Well it used to be available in white; but it still has black forks.This is one of the original "pilot run" and I ticked the "white" frame colour. There is also another picture of the bike in it's initial build at the following link. (It now has Gary Origin 8 bars and more of...

Hi Mark, I am having just a little difficulty coming to grips with exactly what you mean by this. Are you actually pedaling faster or does it just feel like you're pedaling faster? Are you in a taller gear than you feel you are in and spinning faster with the shorter cranks? Or are you in a...

Hi there Ozcruza, Was the bike you based the conversion on a LearSport BW3240V? I'm just a little curious because at one point in my procrastination over what to buy in the way of a Cruz machine I seriously considered getting one of these, buying the kit and doing...
