Doug! I'm glad you sent that post.. I was getting a little worried myself. Now that I'm on here, could you tell me what the seat height is on the V2 at a...
Everything looks to be fine, Doug. Based on information from you and a few others, I figured out my gearing questions and ordered a Silvio. Now I'm waiting for...
Hi Tom, Glad you've ordered a Silvio - I really think there's nothing further out on the tech edge than that bike. As for riding it, don't sweat it. We've got...
Hey Doug ! I just looked at my last post to you.. Those bold letters don't in anyway mean I'm shouting at you. I evidently hit a botton some where that...
Good, Doug! I'll be looking for the method that others have used about learning to ride. I last learned how to ride a bicycle half a century ago! But I don't...
The Cruzbike models are a unique platform, and I for one would like to see the rack situation given a little attention. On my now-modified Sofrider ( ...
David, you are a genius - I suspect this: http://www.oldmanmountain.com/Pages/RackPages/RackGalleries/Pages/csFront_gallery.htm would work on a Silvio. A few...
So far only problem was one flat in rear.Wheel came off so easy I load in my truck like that now.The only thing im changing is going to a triple for bailout...
Would a 100 centimetre (39 inches) long chain be long enough to loop through the triangular hole in the frame just by the rear shock absorber/spring's front...
Gearing on the Silvio: I think I figured this out using a 30-39-53 crankset and an 11-34 rear cassette. I still need to double check this on the spreadsheet...
Hey Doug (or anyone else,too), Can a V2 handle a triple crankset/derailleur combo (will it fit)? Silvio is a little out of reach, but customizing a Sofrider...
Hi Letch, A triple will "fit". If you have long legs, you should be able to make a 52-42-30 triple work. The reason you need long legs is, if you have short...
Steve, I believe it will be close, but should work. The point you're talking about is about 18-19" off the floor depending on your shock height adjustment. Be...
Hey Bill, The way I have this bike set up it's about 23.5 inches, with the suspension un-loaded. Hope you're doing well. Take care, Doug ... worried myself....
... this ... use it ... should ... load ... know ... Ultegra ... well ... makes ... The triple will be 53-42-30 and 12-25 that should work if not a 11- 32...
... 53/30 * 25/12 = 1.76. * 2.08 = 3.68 while 53/30 * 32/11 = 1.76. * 2.91 = 5.14 So these setups have quite a different spread. My suggestion would be along...

As far as I can tell (from the pictures of the racks), the OMM racks do increase the unsprung weight on the bike, which is something I'm trying to avoid. ...
Yes Keith, I fully agree the frame mounted racks give those advantages. I carry my son on the back with a frame mounted rack that I made myself from an...
I received my Sofrider V2 a week ago and have assembled it without too much difficulty. However, it is very hard to adjust the telescopic front tube. When I...
Roberts! I don't have a Sofrider, but I presume the TFT is the same as it is on the kit.. It sounds to me from what you say the safety stud needs to be...
Hi, Bill's suggestion is a very good one, please check the safety stud. Another thing that can make the tube difficult to adjust is the fact that the front...
Hello, My name is Rick, I am 62 and live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is 10 deg. F today and there is plowed snow in the street so it is somewhat rideable....
Hi Rick, Given the prevailing weather up there, you folks have quite a recumbent following. The first time I was up there during the summer made it very clear...
