Thanks Johny, I'll cross the Biulls off the list. I have been looking for lower rolling resistance than Schwalbe Moto X. All the 27.5 X 2.8 Vee Speedsters are out of stock online. Hoping there is another production run of this particular tire. If you know of any tire with lower RR for pavement...

AbeK, I know this bike is not a Stromer. It just might be OK for 2-3 hr. fitness rides with some go fast moments. There is a dealer less than 20 miles away. Not exactly my dream e-bike but easier to deal with for service when needed in my local area. I can pretend to be a roadie on the drops...

Excellent effort and very respectful especially in high heat👍 Sometime in the future if you have funds available an extra battery may be a good option. I take an extra battery with when I do a solo metric in turbo. Only takes a minute to stop riding and change the battery. It's fun to go fast...

The support person told me to grease the the leather on the underside contacting the metal. Vey small amount. She suggested applying grease with a zip tie, I used a small flat brush. That was not the solution. I am certain my rail bend is too close to the front clamp. When I get the carbon...

Alaskan, I moved the saddle back 1/8" before my last ride and got squeak again. The seat post saddle clamps are too close to the front bend of the aluminum rails. I ordered the carbon rails whiich will allow an additional inch of saddle setback. I only need 1/4". Amazing how such a small...

Yes, exactly what i notice. The Delite is counter productive when attempting to pedal in a large gear and works great with high cadence in the 3rd or 4th largest gears, not 1 or 2. Local shop will not touch an out of state purchase. It's just the nature of the bike biz where I live. I have to...

Damn! I am so tempted to take a drive to Madison and deplete my home repairs fund so I can test ride and buy an ST5. Much better price up there than in my local area and its a beautiful place to do a bike ride. The only advantage I foresee with my Delite is my leg muscles, lung capacity and...

I'd like to do a test ride and they have one medium in stock, Not sure about a purchase as the bike handling may be different than what I currently have with dual suspension. Its a 70lb bike not much different in weight of my current bike. I'd also like to do a test ride with a Bulls Desert...

FWIW, I installed Tannus Armour inside the Super MotoX tires a while ago. Last night I rode over a heavy duty paper clip with one end bent up. It punctured the tire and got imbedded in the Tannus insert. I initially thought the Rohloff broke as each wheel revolution make a loud click. It was the...

Wondering where people in the midwest US have purchased their Stormers and what servicing is required with the bike.

Yes I am very fortunate. I got lucky this time with a bike fix.:)

Johnny, Thanks again for your post. A new e-bike purchase is expensive and may not be the answer for a speed bump on a small percentage of the local routes. I learned this morning a local dealer selling and servicing Stromer will not service the ST5 if purchased elsewhere. Very limited options...

Fourth ride after dialing in the saddle. What a joy to ride a quiet bike. No squeak with crank turnover. I can now hear different tone of the motor for each gear. The bike is definitely a keeper that will be a touring bike. I eventually want to do some riding in the WI area. Spring Green...

I have now had 2 squeak free rides. Turns out the Selle Anatomica X saddle was squeaking with every pedal stroke no matter the tension bolt setting. There is a aluminum slider at the nose of the saddle which contacts another piece of metal when weight is on the saddle. Placing a thin slick strip...

Ravi, Everything in my local area changed about 25 years ago with a significant housing boom in Woodstock and the end of Wauconda apple orchards bulldozed for tract housing. The rural roads now have more traffic congestion, more housing. Bull Valley road became a dangerous stretch when cycling...

After reading yours and Johnny's post I now have the impression I've got an excellent touring bike. I eventually want to get to 30 from my present 28 limit of the Delite. I now plan to take a trip to Crazy Lenny's in Madison next week for a test ride.

It's not descent speed. One of the local hills allows fo a roll down of 33.5 mph. My issue is sustaining 28+ to enter a turn signal lane with traffic. The crank resistance with the Bosch motor is greater than what I had with a non e-bike while pedaling at speeds above 28 mph.

Thanks for your feedback. I have a question with your ST5. When you pedal at a 28+ mph pace do you notice much resistance with the crank turnover? Reason I am asking is I ride with traffic all the time. I have to be at 30 mph+ to access turn lanes at stop lights with vehicles approaching in...

Stromer is quite the beautiful bike. There is dealer in Naperville and I am always tempted to take a test ride but I am afraid of making a purchase beyond my financial capacity. I currently ride a R&M Delite dual suspension. I ride on the roads with vehicle traffic. At times I have to do a hard...

Looks nice for 5K with extra battery. Not sure about only 5 speeds as some of the routes north have longer hills with steeper grades compared to where I begin.
