    Thorn resistant 26" Schrader tubes?

    Great points all...I will inspect the tire and the tube carefully and add pictures here. What bothered me is the multiples punctures were relatively small in size and yet the slime didn't seem to plug the holes.....but I had slime leaking all over the inside of my tires...... More info to follow.

    Thorn resistant 26" Schrader tubes?

    Looking for new tubes for my Stromer ST1. I originally had extra strong slime tubes installed and that worked without any flats for almost 2 months! Since then I had 2 flats in a week! At this rate, I really cannot justify biking into work anymore. The road on my way in is quite bad (potholes...

    WTB: Park tools bench or wall mount repair stand

    Looking to buy a used Park Tools PRS-4W-1 or 2. Also open to a PCS 12.2 bench mount stand I will only pay using PP "Goods and Services". I just got pinged by a brand new member (joined 2 days back with no history) and he emailed me mentioning he has a stand for sale, but would only accept PP...

    Stromer ST1 chain keeps popping off

    Hello, I originally had a 52T chainring (130 bcd) on my Stromer, which I upgraded to a 54T (SRAM x-sync) to help with 2 separate issues (a) the chain kept popping off with a 52T chain-ring and (b) I routinely found myself spinning out The LBS suggested upgrading to a 54T chain-ring to fix...

    Issue with spongy rear brakes after tube change

    All done....really enjoyed the process and learned a lot as well. General question for you guys. When doing full bleeds, do you prefer removing the calipers or the wheels? Based on my current experience, personally, I feel for the rear brakes, removing calipers is easier because the rear wheel...

    Issue with spongy rear brakes after tube change

    I ended up doing a full bleed (super messy given it's my first time, but I now get it). Turns out I have sticky pistons as well, which I will tackle next. Also: I have the issue of aligning the disc to the pads. Question about this: can I do this with my bike turned upside down? Now that...

    Issue with spongy rear brakes after tube change

    Got it....seems a lot easier than a full bleed...which is do-able, but something I have absolutely no time for unfortunately. I will give this a shot before attempting a full bleed. Waiting for the Royal Blood oil to arrive in a couple of days.

    Issue with spongy rear brakes after tube change

    Something like this: Do I need to tinker with the brake pistons etc. for this approach? And do I really need a bike stand to tilt the bike?

    Issue with spongy rear brakes after tube change

    I tried the quick bleed (the one where I pour in oil using the funnel and then flick the brakes to release trapped air) and it did not work. Looks like I need to do the full bleed...urghh

    Issue with spongy rear brakes after tube change

    yups....I definitely flipped the bike over.....not sure about the touching the lever with the wheel of. Maybe that is it? In any either case, I hope a quick bleed (not a full bleed) can fix the issue.

    Issue with spongy rear brakes after tube change

    Hello All, This is the 2nd time I am noticing this on my Stromer ST1 and I wonder if I am doing something wrong. I decided to replace the tube on my rear tire for which I ended up having to remove the rear wheel. When I put it back, I noticed that the rear disc brake had suddenly become super...

    Stromer ST1 Gold Battery dead

    Can this battery charger be used as a replacement for the Stromer OEM: https://www.amazon.com/Fancy-Buying-Electric-Charger-Connector/dp/B07FBB8RMH/ref=sr_1_13?crid=18ZA90MJLEBV9&keywords=36v+ebike+charger&qid=1646076618&sprefix=36V+ebike+,aps,115&sr=8-13?

    Stromer ST1 Gold Battery dead

    Yikes...I think something similar is happening with my battery....it's measuring 11V though right now. Has anyone measured the battery voltage at different %charge amounts? I am assuming the multimeter would ready >=36V at full charge, but I wonder what it would ready at diminishing % charge values.

    Stromer ST1 Gold Battery dead

    Oh no...what I meant was the rebuild is $2-$300 MORE expensive than the battery pack from Alibaba....so around $600-$650. I'd rather pay that extra cash knowing that I will be getting Samsung/LG cells and more importantly.....I can plug the battery straight into my bike and get going. Also...

    Stromer ST1 Gold Battery dead

    I am not worried about Alibaba as a vendor site....more the product itself. I would much rather pay an extra $2-$300 for a battery rebuild. But before I do that, I want to 100% convince myself that the battery is indeed dead and it's not the charger that is at fault.

    Stromer ST1 Gold Battery dead

    One more clarification: the bike shop mentioned that their multimeter read ~4V when I had dropped off the bike 2 days back. I measured the voltage on my battery last night and the Voltmeter was reading ~11V. Then I left it plugged into the charger all night (light on charger was green and...

    Stromer ST1 Gold Battery dead

    I saw that, but I am very sceptical of 3rd party solutions here. But definitely something to think about.

    Stromer ST1 Gold Battery dead

    After 2 years of pandemic work from home, I am ready to start going back to work regularly. I was biking regularly on my Stromer ST1. So I decided to get it serviced before using it again only to find out from the bike shop (Electric Bike Central in San Diego) that my battery is dead! I was...
