    Does the ST1 only fit certain rear racks?

    Ok thanks for confirming Ravi! I purchased that one from Amazon and it should be here Saturday, so I'll report back. I also have pics and a report in the works, but life has been plenty hectic with full-time work plus school.

    Does the ST1 only fit certain rear racks?

    So you would agree that the 31.6 is for the MM of the width of the seat post I take it. Thanks for your help J.R.

    Does the ST1 only fit certain rear racks?

    Is there any way for me to find out what size collar fits?

    Does the ST1 only fit certain rear racks?

    In looking at the post, I do see the number 31.6, and I am wondering if that stands for the milimeters width. This collar says 29.8 mm. I tried looking up the specs of the ST1 online, but the specs listed on the Stromer site do not include the seat post width.

    Does the ST1 only fit certain rear racks?

    The seat post. The tube has a quick release clamp at the bottom, so doesn't even seem like it'd be possible to put anything else on the tube.

    Does the ST1 only fit certain rear racks?

    When I pulled the seat post, the collar seems slightly too small. I tried stretching it, but it doesn't appear to be stretchable?

    Does the ST1 only fit certain rear racks?

    Ravi or anyone, Should this seatpost collar fit around my ST1 seatpost? I took the screw out and it doesn't seem to stretch wider, and as it is, it doesn't seem to fit around the seatpost. Am I missing anything?

    Is it possible to install this rack?

    Nevermind. As a noob, I did not realize that other bikes have the hole in a different direction. I guess I can't use the one arm, and must get a seatpost clamp.

    Is it possible to install this rack?

    Also, when attempting to use the two eyelets, the rack is higher than I would like. I would prefer to use the wheel nut as that is a good two inches lower. I do not have a torque wrench... would it be bad for me to remove the wheel nuts (to install the rack) and then simply tighten back by feel?

    Is it possible to install this rack?

    I just received the Axiom DLX Streamliner Disc Cycle Rack that I ordered, and there is a bar in the middle that is supposed to connect to the bike's frame (without having to install a seatpost connector). As a noob, I absolutely cannot figure out why this bar is shaped like this, and how it is...

    What kind of helmets do you guys/gals wear?

    Thx Ravi, it's not the same tho. These helmets aren't as pretty ;):p

    Torque Wrench

    I see said the blind man! Guess I have a new chapter of research to do... I don't even know what a torque wrench is, let alone how to use one. I did tighten my handlebar and plan to mount a rack when it arrives. Don't know what "wheel skewer" or "drive components" are, but I'm guessing the...

    Torque Wrench

    So like, for how tight I screw on the water bottle holder, I need to get some sort of device to measure the "torque" of the "fastener" (I'm guessing the fastener means screw)?

    This is one sweet looking helmet! However, I don't see it available for sale anywhere :-(

    Torque Wrench

    Holy crap, that looks awfully technical. Am I crazy to just go by feel?

    1UpUSA Bike Rack

    I don't know... if you think about it, say the arm of the rack was to somehow move back, away from the wheel... these skewers seem to keep the arm of the rack against the wheel. As I drive around on the streets here in So Cal, I try to follow a route with a smoother road (because even tho we...

    What kind of headlight do you use (or recommend)?

    I have to agree with Vern - this price seems to good to be true!! Not doubting you Power Me, because I know you know your stuff, but this seems awfully cheap price, no?

    What kind of headlight do you use (or recommend)?

    Cameron, thanks so much for this explanation. I must admit that I have been confused about headlights, because ones like Power Me use are so cheap, yet so highly rated - meanwhile, other headlights are a lot more expensive.
