Hi all, I have been lurking here for some time, but now that I have my very own cruzbike I figure it is time to join the group. Yesterday I put together my...
... while, the solution is to find a shorter "noodle" at your local Mtn bike shop, I think bending it may crimp it, or bind the cable to some degree, Happy...
Hi Klaus, Glad you're here. The part you're referring to is commonly called a "brake noodle" and is made of stainless steel. Every time I've tried to bend one...
Hello. I am a newcomer to this group and have a few projects going on. I am in the process of building an enclosed recumbent tricyle with electric and solar...
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has tried one of the Sherpa or Cold Springs front racks on the back of a Silvio yet? If not, I plan to pull the trigger when...

Hi, I have recently been trying to work out what wheelset to get for my Silvio. The trouble is, I've seen a lot of conflicting feedback on the same wheels on...

Hi Nanda, We are very glad to have you here and we'll be looking forward to hearing your exploits with the Silvio. The bike you're building sounds like it will...
Hi George, This thread where we have been identifying where the frame is most susceptible to failure is an engineering idea. Think of the worst case and then...
Hi Nanda, The ergonomics of the Silvio might see the grips outside the raised knee position, so levers like the force and campag, that have both cables down...
Hello, I have been trying to find out whether the Freerider V2 has the new frame - that is, the frame that the Sofrider V2 uses. As best I can tell, all of the...
Hi Leopold, hope you're doing well. I believe either John or Jim posted recently to indicate that the Freerider would get the updated frame and swingarm as...
Thanks for the noodle advice. I checked the seat mount orientation, and this is not the problem. Perhaps I could improve things by by moving the seat around a...
