    Any one using roller trainer?

    Funny set-up. Now you could use the sportscrafter progressive roller http://www.bentrideronline.com/?p=7813

    Any one using roller trainer?

    I have a 3ft wide corridor in my basement. That helps a lot. But still without the mirror in front, I wouldn't be able to ride. Initially it takes a lot of concentration. I prefer to have the front wheel on the double roller, it feels less twitchy.

    +1 It's a similar setup I have in my basement. Riding my Silvio 2.1 during winter time.

    Thor seat on S30v2 vs. handlebar height

    Shorter cranks result in less leg movement. You will get your knees away from the handlebar.

    Pedal assist on 2012 Silvio - Help please

    Back in 2014 Alex Stegemann confirmed that the Omni Wheel is a good fit for the Silvio (see my first post). The Velogical unit consists of two small rim motors. Have a look at their website. Whatever motor assist you chose, the batteries will be heavier than the motor.

    Pedal assist on 2012 Silvio - Help please

    The rather expensive German units from velogical weigh less than 3 pounds, and they could be mounted on the front or back wheel. For riding uphill it would be preferable to have the motor assist on the rear wheel

    Pedal assist on 2012 Silvio - Help please

    I was looking at these units, specially the slow one http://www.velogical-engineering.com/velogical-velospeeder---standard-motor-for-bicycles-retrofittable Another solution would be the OMNI Wheel from Evelo.com I was told that this wheel can be controlled with a trottle instead of the pedel...
