    Are there any downsides to waxing the chain of an ST5?

    Hi Insider, thank you for taking the time to reply. I’m not sure I understand your answer ... “ Twice the chain popped off “ Why is that good, are you satisfied? Could you clarify? Thanks

    Hi, while reading the swiss Stromer forum in german with google translate I happened upon a post by member Flachlandstromer who has waxed his chain and apparently not had to clean it or his drivetrain for several thousands of kilometers.Reading through Google translate is ok but communicating...

    Stromer ST5 TRP brakes Squeaking

    Hello everyone, I have just bought an almost new (2019 ,270 mile) Stromer ST5. I love it! However the TRP brakes are LOUD (squeaking- creaking). Any recommendations for quieter compatible alternate brake pads? Thank you

    Calculation of range and driving pleasure

    Hello fellow ebikers, I found a very interesting article written by Lomito the project manager for the speeders.online forum based in the Netherlands. He has come up with range and driving pleasure formulas that allow for what , I believe should give a fair comparison of the performances of...

    Squeaky fork

    You are right. It is driving me nuts, also because it is hard to find the source of the noise while not riding at standstill. I will take a closer look at that mudguard to see if it is the culprit. Thanks for the tip J.R. Stay safe

    Anybody have an ebike with a pinion gearbox and gates belt?

    Hi Cyklefanatic, I am probably going to buy this MTB Cycletech Code 45 in the coming months. I agree with you that this is more than likely a very low maintenance setup albeit expensive. Your welding chops better be very good as the Pinion gearbox requires a custom frame as shown in the pictures...

    Stromer ST2020 concept bike - Gates belt drive and 5 speed integrated gearbox

    Hey Ebike01, Thank you for kind comment. Nice wheels ,too bad it isn't available anymore... I wouldn't bet a lot of $$$ on carbon or titanium frames because the increased price would probably tender them prohibitively expensive. Also , I think that the weight of aluminum is largely offset by...

    Stromer ST2020 concept bike - Gates belt drive and 5 speed integrated gearbox

    Hi Bluecat, I saw this up close at the Velofollies Bike show in Kortrijk, Belgium a few weeks ago When I spoke to the Stromer representative , he said this model would slot between the new ST1 & the ST3.

    Stromer ST2020 concept bike - Gates belt drive and 5 speed integrated gearbox

    Hi Ebiker01, The problem is finding somewhat objective advice from knowledgeable people who really understand the difference between drive technologies/brands and don't have a vested interest in selling you whatever they're selling. When I went to the huge bike show in Kortrijk, Belgium a couple...
