    Topeak Disc Rack Mounted on CrossCurrent

    I didn't have any issues with it. Did you use a torque wrench on install? If the bolt is not torqued properly then it could miss read your pedal input.

    Anyone from NC?

    http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2015/Bills/House/PDF/H959v6.pdf This is the link to some changes that Went into effect 1 Oct 2016. It clearly defines ebike vs moped vs motor driven cycle. I interpret it to mean that my Spedelec is classified as a bicycle.

    Stromer ST2 Suspension Shocks

    Some of the newer road bikes from trek and specialized come with stem based shocks now and there are a few good videos in YouTube. One is called the future shock. I have it on my roadbike (non-ebike) and it is great for small holes. The stromer shock is great for larger holes due to the extra...

    Stromer ST2 Suspension Shocks

    I agree there are many options out there, the Epixion fork is much less expensive, but I opted for the complete package with the fender. My decisive factor was that no aftermarket fender matched the fender provided with the Stromer product. Is there another good fender option out there?

    Stromer ST2 Suspension Shocks

    I have the Stromer shock and body float on my ST2 S and solved all of my suspension concerns. My roads have frequent potholes and cracking which are a beast to handle without the suspension. The bike handles like a dream.

    ST2 Not communicating with the network

    Unless I'm mistaken, the old OMNIs are not 3/4G compatible and the new ines are. John, I wonder if the reboots are due to an installation error. Have you tried the wiggle and tap test? (Old Ford troubleshooting method of tapping an item to see if it reproduces the issue.)

    Interesting article

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-01/stromer-st2-s-electric-bike-review-tested-on-the-streets-of-l-a. I don't really get a lot of traffic that cuts me off in the ST2 S. I did, however, on my Crosscurrent. I'm sure the powerful headlight helps

    Smitty, I had the same experience. They sent the tool with the replacement. I could have used even something like a ballpoint pen to open it. The change is super easy. I am or too concerned about the job voiding any part of the warranty. I also recently installed the front shock kit. Bike is...

    When changing the pins take a picture of your setup prior to removing any. The color codes in the instructions didn't match my bike exactly. Not all slots are used. Besides that use a good jewelers screw driver on your screws.

    Sounds like they are sending you a new OMNI. I received the same notification when they sent my replacement. I just installed mine last night and it corrected my comms issue.

    Joel is still around, but there is a new tech rep. The new guy is [email protected]. These guys respond to emails pretty quickly.

    My OMNI should arrive on the 18th. Will update when replaced. BTW the first week of December it wouldn't connect so I emailed Joel then, and it was "GSM network maintenance" which is why I waited so long to contact them this time. I always have signal bars just not the little "G". The...

    Recommended After Market Shocks on ST2s DON'T DO IT!!!!!

    I ended up getting the Stromer suspension kit. I installed it on my ST2-S in about an hour. I also needed a Magura bleed kit because the hose had to be cut to remove it from the steerer tube. The race must be used from the stock fork. I initially installed without and it felt like you...

    I emailed Joel about mine not connecting to GSM today, another guy emailed me back and sent out a replacement OMNI. Should get it next week. Other than that the bike runs great.

    Copenhagen bike infrastructure / success

    Amazing! I see maybe one rider every few weeks on my ride to work. This article inspires me to visit and get lost riding in Copenhagen. Someone recently posted a few videos (maybe from Switzerland) discussing bike infrastructure and I am definitely jealous. On Saturdays I usually ride around...

    Anyone from NC?

    I recently emailed the NC DMV asking about registration. They stated I would not need to register my Stromer ST 2 S. Also, regular bicycles can be ridden on roads with speed limits up to 35 mph. Which covers most of my commute. I assume a little risk getting on a 40 mph road for about a mile. No...

    Big Cat Fat Cat XL

    I wish I tried it sooner. Most of my commute is on roads that have been patched over and over again. The body float neutralizes the roughness. It feels natural to sit on. I would have tried the thudbuster but it was too tall for my frame size. They suspension system is about 2" longer than...

    Front end not balanced, shakes, wobbles

    Strangely enough, my wobble seems to have gone away after I added the body float seatpost.

    Cross Current

    Itsmejson, I have a write up in the juiced bikes page with one option for centering the mtx rack. I also recommend using p-clamps for your front fender. I had some 1-1/4" p-clamps I bought from a company called velo orange here: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) Youth, I did not realize those...
