On my S1.5 I have 700C wheels with 28mm tires. Clearance to the fork crown, both front and rear, is just a few mm. I’d love to be able to fit something wider. As it is, I don’t feel comfortable when riding loaded on unpaved roads, the bike is all over the place. Using 650B rims would provide...

Congrats to Maria and team A truly impressive display of mental and physical strength. I bow to you!

Silvio in a case After buying my Silvio frameset in the US, I took it back to Europe in a 31" suitcase from Walmart. It was a tight fit for the main frame. You could not fit a frame with attached front fork. Or rear fork for that matter. In principle you would need to remove the whole front...

Fenders Yes Georgec, you are correct. I've had to cut the fenders since they won't fit between the tyre and fork crown. Mickjordan: On my trainer there is a slot in the holder (the "fixed" one, not the one with the clamping mechaninsm) that will take the skewer lever. So I'll have to reverse...

I forgot to mention Eric Winn: The fender tab is glued to the extension using silicone compound exactly for the reason you state. The Rapto isn't mine but belongs to my brother in law, we share a two family house. It's too small for me to ride. The Velokraft VK2 however belongs to me and has...

Almost done now I have now attached most of the extra bits and pieces that I wanted. Mudguards/fenders: since I live in a wet part of the world and prefer riding a bike to cleaning a bike, fenders are a must. having beforehand bought 28 mm tyres there was no room for stndard mounting of...

The reply must be YES That since the following text is copied straight from the Cruzbike website: Silvio is the world's only recumbent road bike that is fully compatible with a road bike groupset and wheels -- any grouppos you like.

Alas I have chosen 28 mm tyres which means that the gap is too narrow even for raceblades. But I have put the thinking cap on and have come up with a solution. Requires slaughtering two sets of standard fenders but I think it will be worth it. Done half of it but now I need to take a trip to...

Yesterday I completed the assembley of my Silvio. Very straight forward apart from two minor issues: 1/ The hole in one of the rear dropouts for the bolt securing the dropout to the chainstay was mis-aligned. Seems to be drilled in two sequences, the top hole from the top and the bottom...
