    2019 S40 Frame set - What Wheels and Group set?

    I weigh about 192 pounds and would like advice on the selection of a fast set of wheels/hubs for running tubeless tires. I will be using disc brakes. Who is running the 1x system and how do you like it?

    Silvio 1.5 to S40: Seat Angle, Headrest, No Suspension

    1. Is the S40 seat angle greater (from vertical,) than the S1.5? I can't look at the specs because it is not available on the website yet because the 2019 launch is tomorrow. 2. When riding with a headrest, does the helmet get in the way? Does the Performance Adjustable Headrest solve that...

    Hill climbing on the Silvio

    New Silvio/Ultegra Tripple - CN-HG93

    I just received my New Silvio and ordered with an Ultegra Tripple group set. I am assembling it myself. It came with a CN-HG93 Ultegra chain for 9-speed systems, but the tripple requires a CN-6600 chain for 10-speed cassettes. Was it a mistake on Cruzbike's part to include the 9-speed chain, or...
