Graphite guitars Hi Lisa from a fellow Silvio rider, It is a long story but I own a carbon fibre guitar (I can't really play it well, I just own it). It is a Rainsong brand: http://www.rainsong.com/ The photos don't do it justice. A beautiful thing, well made with a rich and unique...

Great thread Eric, Thanks for the generosity you have shown to post the experience of assembling your lovely new bike. It is great to see the progress. John, Well done. A beautiful machine. Hi Lisa, I hate to be picky but this bike is not made in China. It is from Taiwan ROC...

Patents You can patent a "novel invention" and that is what most people think about as a patent. You can also patent an "improvement" on prior art. It is less secure as others can find other ways to get around the problem but other patents on the methods and methods of manufacture can still be...

Rick, Did that shock pump Rick, Did that shock pump procedure work for you? Curious.

I bet you are simply losing I bet you are simply losing too much air out of the shock when pumping it up. What shock pump are you using? The Kind brand pump that was supplied with my bike has a very specific procedure that must be used so not to lose pressure. It is different to pumping...

Thanks John, I am a little Thanks John, I am a little averse to lower the pressure too much as there are some nasty bike paths around here with really sharp edges. I guess I am asking if anyone has some experience fitting different tyres with a little more tread and perhaps a 28 size...

Hello all from warm Melbourne. I wanted to get an updated opinion on tyre options that people suggest for my Silvio 1.0. I have 700C wheels currently shod with Cintinental Gatorskin 25s. I ride about 30% road, 65% bike tracks (that cane be really rough) and 5% gravel tracks. The Gatorskins...

I (unfortunately have some I (unfortunately have some experience with this topic. A few years ago I bought a brand new ~$900 hybrid DF bike from a shop in Melbourne city centre. I rode it home and took it shopping the next day back into Melbourne city. I locked it to a large stainless hoop...

See this See this thread: http://cruzbike.com/locking-cruzbikeshttp://cruzbike.com/locking-cruzbikes I like the TIGR lock that you can see in the pictures. Until I get one I use an Abus cable lock designed for motorised bikes: and one of these for the bike helmet:

Ken, Just to be clear, the Ken, Just to be clear, the Shimano pedals I use have an spd cleat on one side only, The other side is a stainless grippy platform. This works really well. The [platform part looks means but doesn't damage shoes and it is quite easy to flip them to choose to clip in...

I use Shimano PD-M647 SPD I use Shimano PD-M647 SPD Dual Platform Pedals. They are probably a little more weighty than some but they are strong and spin nicely. These give me the option of wearing normal shoes or sandals for short rides or cleat shoes for longer rides.

Hi Bob, I have a Silvio and Hi Bob, I have a Silvio and use a Garmin Edge 900 with wireless cadence and wheel rotation sensor. It wotks perfectly. I think that you are missing the fact that the Silvio is a FWD bike and the sensor if put on the front wheel carbon fork to detect the front...

Hi, Mickjordan, your mirrors Hi, Mickjordan, your mirrors mounted on the wrong side. ;-) Frankly, where I ride I would not be wothout a mirror. Victoria is running campaigns to get motoricts to give people on bikes a 1 meter berth. It is not working so a bit of notice before a close...

Eric 5 Have you tried the Eric 5 Have you tried the Garmin wireless sensor? I have one on my Silvio and it has an adjustable arm taht will allow some distane between the other sensors. The other tip is that toy don't actually need the sensor in the area swept by the spokes and...

Hi Nataly, Sorry for the Hi Nataly, Sorry for the delayed feedback. My computer has been down and out for some time. It is finally healthy again. I live in Melbourne and have had a Silvio 1.0 for about a year now. I did a full write up here...

This one. Ducati Multistrada This one. Ducati Multistrada 1200. Not my last motorcycle but my current one. I ride it 200km every day. Comfortable, safe (TCS and ABS), full suspension control on the fly and 100 or 150HP at the push of a button.

Fast Giant I did not ride for some time due mainly to disappointment in humanity! My last bike was a Giant DF hybrid I had about 2 years ago. It cost about $800 and I can't comment on it's performance as it lasted just over 22 hours. I bought it one Friday night and rode it 10km into...

Hi Kling, Thanks for pointing Hi Kling, Thanks for pointing me to the Tigr lock. Locks like an elegant and light locking solution. I just emailed them to ask them to STOP USING INCHES as the only unit of measurement. I am never sure how many thumbs long my bike is. Ddecimal on the other hand...

I fitted what I thin is an I fitted what I thin is an Axion rack but I am not sure of the model. I posted detailed pics here of the reversed and redrilled bottom brackets and the seat mounting: http://cruzbike.com/new-aussie-silvio-rider-first-post

Why Hi, The guy on the front looks like he would be launched the first time the brakes were applied. It should be easy to fix any of the issues with that bike. First, get a Cruzbike. Second, get another one. Go riding. Seriously though, maybe I don't have enough friends...
