    Softening the ride without breaking the bank

    One other option (more like a positive side effect vs primary option) that I came across is Tannus Armour tire liners. I was in search for solid core tires after having a double flat even with tire liners one rainy day. Tried solid inner cores but they felt super sloppy since there’s some...

    Front cargo dolly/trike conversion kits

    Both addbike and trego look pretty cool. Looks like addbike doesn’t ship to the US and Trego says that theirs don’t work with carbon forks or thru axels. Would really like to get something like this work with my Stromer st2.

    Sidecars

    Chariot used to make a side car like attachment before they were bought out by Thule. They’re discontinued but I found a used one off of CL a couple of months back. It doesn’t fit all bikes but fits fine on one my old bikes that I upgraded the front wheel with an electron wheel. I usually...

    Picked up my Stromer ST2 yesterday

    If I didn’t already have my ST2, definitely would be interested in the ST2S that a local shop here in Portland has posted on their site for ~5399.

    Headlight on st2

    The m99 mini pro e-25 is still brighter in low compared to the standard e3 but the fact that you can’t easily toggle from low to high beam consistently on the go is a bit frustrating to me but guess it’s something I’ll live with for now. Tempted to open things up and rewire to the 12v source...

    Headlight on st2

    The m99 mini pro e-25 doesn’t come with separate mount. I was able to make it work with the existing mount but it’s slightly off center. Will likely remount it once I get my new handle bars. Also an update on the m99 mini pro e-25 - I was able to utilize the high beam - set it on high before...

    Headlight on st2

    I finally got mine supernova m99 mini pro e-25 in last week and got around to installing it tonight. It is definitely brighter than the stock supernova that comes on a US ST2 but I found a couple of gotchas. 1) the existing mount isn’t really made for the m99 mini pro - you can still use it...

    Picked up my Stromer ST2 yesterday

    Welcome @OregonN8V! I also bought a stromer st2 due to the west hills and the rainy weather. My commute is only 5 miles from ~ skyline to the river front but some days just want to get home quick as possible and it’s cut my ride back home in 1/2 from ~45 minutes to 22minutes riding through...

    New tires for ST2, which ones where to buy?

    I’d highly recommend continental top contact winter tires. They have made a world of difference in the rain compared to the stock big Bens. The ride is a little harsher but the grip feels 10x better on wet cold roads. Their compound will stay pliable with the added sipes will help the tire...

    Mud flaps

    Was combing through some other stromer forums using google translate and came across this site https://www.vanzijptechniek.nl/product-categorie/bikeparts/stromer/ that actually had some parts that are 3D printed for stromer. They looked sleek and integrated in the photos so figured I’d give them...

    Headlight on st2

    I’m still waiting for the m99 mini pro e-25 to ship but just noticed that there’s also a m99 mini pro e-45 (targeted for Jan release?) but that is rated for 12v only compared to the smart voltage feature of the e-25 version. Anyone know if the st2 will output 12v? The European st2 have m99...

    Softening the ride without breaking the bank

    After switching over to conti winter tires the ride got quite a bit harsher than the Big Bens on my st2 but the added traction was more than worth it. I decided to move the redshift shockstop stem over from my old road bike since my ST2 is now my primary commuter. I did have to put another...

    Softening the ride without breaking the bank

    I have the redshift shockstop stem on one of my road bikes and it does soak up some of the bumps but under hard breaking you do get the front dive feeling. On my other newer road bike, it has specialize’s future shock which is pretty awesome. I don’t notice the dive feeling under braking as...

    Mud flaps

    I was more concerned with additional spray up and 3 or so extra inches seems to do the job at least during my last ride in the rain. Will evaluate during larger storms.

    Mud flaps

    It’s a bluetooth tpms. Somehow it appeared on my Amazon recommendations and ordered it. Meant for a car so it comes with 4. I put this on my st2 and another mtb I have. Unfortunately only compatible with schrader valves so couldn’t put it on my road bike. In theory able to set thresholds to...

    Rearview mirror standard on ST2 -bikes ? If not, any mirrror to reccomend ?

    I ride with a helmet mounted mirror and added a left side anti glare handle bar end mounted mirror. Seem to work well for awhile but felt like I always missed what was behind me on right hand side. I wanted something sleeker vs huge mirrors so tried out the Topeka bar n mirror. I had to move...

    New Winter Tires for ST2?

    I went with Continental top contact winter 2.2 inch. Road in the rain again on Friday and have to say that the traction felt 10x better than the Big Bens. I don’t plan to commute if there is ice or heavy snow but wanted something less scary than the Big Bens in the rain and have to say from...

    Headlight on st2

    Just placed an order last week for the M99 mini pro e-25 which supposedly has the smart voltage features that will adapt to range that various bikes output (5-12v). It’s on backorder but hopefully will arrive in a couple weeks. Will repost once it comes in and installed.

    Mud flaps

    Here’s a photo with the front planet bike mud flap installed along with new continental top contact winter tires which feel like the have significantly better traction in the rain compared to the Big Ben. Still thinking about painting the aluminum strips I used so they blend in more but haven’t...

    2017 Elite with Big Ben tires: Tuffy or Slime needed?

    The rhinodillos brand have an added yellow rounded tab that suppose to reduce the rubbing from the overlap of the tireliners- they also come in varying sizes to fit specific tire sizes to reduce the amount of overlap. I added them to my road bike last winter after getting my 3rd flat in a month...
