    Carrying a lock?

    Alternative http://tigrlock.com/ I have one of these. Carry one end in a bottle cage mounted on the back of the seat and a piece of dual lock self adhesive Velcro near the top of the seat and a mating piece on the lock to prevent rattling. Actually, I may replace the bottle cage with...

    Is a giro air attack helmet a good helmet on a Silvio or Vendetta

    No wisecracks About anybody's fat head... however, the video that Eric linked to says it comes in three sizes: small, medium, and, wait for it... large.

    Underseat location for Radical Solo Racer Wide Bag: an easy installation

    Banana I went for the small banana bags for my Silvio. It is 1.5 so no head rest. i must say that I am not overjoyed. Main issue that they don't stay up but tend to glide down the seat. tested both over and under cushion. there are three suspension belts and the top one does not sit...

    Wanted: hands-on experience with rack-free side panniers

    Thanks Appreciate your sharing. Seems to be a bit less room between the wheels on the Silvio, though, than on yours. Different small bags that I have don't fit at all. like you, I like to ride just to ride, no shopping. But commuting occasionally, and that requires somewhat larger...

    Wanted: hands-on experience with rack-free side panniers

    There are several threads on the forum praising radical design bags. I was wondering if anyone has more experience with commuting with a set of these bags. Radical carries the racer side panniers in several sizes and I am interested if the 25 L version can hold a computer, a set of change...

    Front suspension service interval

    While frost, wind, salt and offensive conditions still prevail at 56 deg. north, spring and more riding opportunities approach, thankfully. i was wondering how often you check the pressure in the front suspension? Thomas

    New gear option?

    Licensing issues aside... the Licensing issues aside... the suspension and the flexibility of the carbon stays on the Silvio (or any other bike with suspension or flexibility in the wrong place) are prohibitive for a drive belt operated drivetrain? As a non-mechanic I guess I don't...

    New gear option?

    Sure Agreed- wasnt taking that approach. Dont Think that the gear is available at all as a separate part. and the combination of two products that each does not have a huge mass market makes it a challenge. One of the nice things about cruz and the Silvio is exactly the opportunity to use...

    New gear option?

    http://pinion.eu/en/discover-pinion/pinion-p1-18/ I still haven't quite found the optimal spot for the front derailleur on Silvio. Am still tinkering and I can see from various posts that I am not the only one. i stumbled on this system, and would appreciate your thoughts on the...

    Yet another new build

    Yet another New Silvio Build here. As I don't have that much experience with assembly of bikes and also don't have a well equipped workshop I thought that I might some observations for others that might be similarly challenged. First of all, thank you to other posters which have been a...

    Silvio 1.0 /1.5

    So chain stay extension recommended? Hi, potential customer here. It appears from the FAQ that Silvio accommodates people who are full grown (194cm, x-seam appr 118cm~46in) But as I read the comments here it seems you recommend using the extension for optimal position? Thanks Thomas
