100mm Extension Wanted

[telephd]

If anyone has a 100mm extension available Id like to give it a go. Going to take Super Slim's advice on a fix for upper thigh - seat pan contact. Thanks!

Somewhere on this forum,

Somewhere on this forum, somebody has machined an extension and I believe it worked well. Hopefully our peeps will magically tell us what we want to know...

I think there are some other posts with photos and details. I'll try and find them and update this post.

Found it. Start here and work down:

1.0 or 1.5?

Hal,

It occurs to me.... Don't you have Silvio 1.0 or is it a 1.5? I don't believe the extension works on the 1.0 but that predates my knowledge.

If it's a 1.5 or later; those appear to be once again available in the store.

Click Bikes > Accessories and look for Silvio Chainstay Extension in the list

The 100 mm extension works

The 100 mm extension works perfectly on my Silvio V1.0

Ah that explain it

The wording on the order page is funny

"When the Silvio is adjusted to a taller rider the crank gets lower to the ground, as it rotates forward. To compensate, we have produced 100mm and 150mm extentions to the chainstay. When these are used, the chain must be lengthened by 200mm and 300mm respectively. The extension does not affect your FD mounting at all, and the FD stalk pictured from a Silvio 1.5 is not included and would not fit a Silvio 1.0 anyhow."

They must mean the "FD Stalk would not fit the 1.0"

Thanks for the clarification.

I'll let mine go

I have one and will let it go for $60 shipping in all. It comes with two bolts. Before you make a decision make sure it will work for you or you'll end up like me. with a 100 extension that is too big. I wanted it to get the flat boom look. The problem is my short legs , x seam 39.5, create arm, leg reach, visibility changes. When the BB goes up the boom comes in and causes my upper leg to strike the handlebar. A 50mm extension would work perfect or If the fork was an inch taller this will work for me. Make sure you can use it and then let me know.
