Yeah, I'm guessing this is why people just buy the City Kit. Who would have thought that installing a rack could be this impossible :-/

I got the Axiom collar because it was an Axiom rack and both collars looked identical and supposedly the same size (31.8 mm). What I don't understand is if the seat is 31.6, and the collar is 31.8, why the collar won't go around the post. I'm guessing everyone pretty much just goes with the...

I am trying to install this rack - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004094HY2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00 At first, I thought I could hook it directly to the frame. I then learned that I need to use a seatpost collar with rack mount. The seatpost says it is size 31.6...

I've been trying to get a rack installed for three weeks now... I have tried multiple collars, and the current one is a 31.8, which is just shy of the seatpost width. Has anyone out there purchased a seatpost collar for the Stromer, or do you know where I might try to call to find out what size...

Can y'all give me your feedback on a trunk bag versus pannier? I have a white bike, and pardon my vanity, but a white bag would look much nicer than a black one. I found a couple really nice looking white Ortlieb panniers, but no white trunk bag seems to exist. I really like the look of the...

One thing I was going to add is that I really like the TinBuk2 bags. I mean they could be better, because while an iPhone does fit in the top (and it's VERY handy to be able to push your phone to get the time or any texts/calls), it doesn't fit as well as it might. But a battery pack could...

I really like http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009WGFYRC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_3&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER but I recently discovered http://www.amazon.com/Vistop-Cycling-Safety-Light-Laser/dp/B00L43PNOA/ref=pd_sbs_468_20?ie=UTF8&refRID=0SPYAPHT5Q367A97MCM9 which seems a little more...

I'm starting to see that there are a lot of things to consider for a headlight. I definitely get your point in regards to short-distance lighting as well as long-distance lighting. On an ebike, you want to have a decent distance illuminated in front of you; however, if you don't have to...

I was leaning towards this, but as I read through the reviews, it seems a lot of people are having problems with the mount, and weak velcro for the battery pack :-( Also, people are saying that it is a bit heavy. What say you, Cameron?

Wow, this looks like a GREAT product! A little more than what I want to spend, especially since most of my riding is on a beach bike path and not in traffic, but otherwise I'd probably lean strongly towards this.

Would love to see a link to the mudguard set you bought and any pics!

I got the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0039UVX86?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00 that you recommended. Not really sure I want to mess with tire liners though. What I WOULD like to see is a video that instructs how to change a tire on the Stromer!

One more thing, I was using this to tighten the seat - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OO9RCE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 I just tried it again when re-attaching the seat to the post, and then I went and tried the allen wrench I was using prior - it seemed as though...

Ah, ok. I just had the clamps down in order to show the scratches of the seatpost arc. I was hoping you were right, because that would mean the answer. Also, in the pic of my new seat, there is a measuring grid from 0 to 3 milimeters (I think it's mm). Do the clamp/brackets have to be attached...

I am 6 ft, 200 lbs - hopefully will lose 5 or 10 pounds soon!

MLB, I'll try that. Question - in tightening the screw, I'm a little worried about it wearing down and stripping. Can you (or anyone) direct me to where I can get a replacement screw that will work for this? Ravi, which pic are you looking at when you say the clamps are downwards? I just went...

Here is a pic of my bike I took at the end of my ride yesterday. As you can see, I'd PREFER to have the seat tilted slightly forward, but would settle for any position where the darned seat would just stay in place. I'm also including a gumby looking pic of me (that a couple was nice enough to...

JoePah, thanks for those suggestions, but I'm not a great "handyman", and I really don't want to start coming up with alternate solutions. My thought is that on a bike like this, the seatpost/clamps/etc should work on their own. David, that's an interesting solution but does the graphite paste...

Ravi, I guess it MIGHT be possible that the two clamps weren't pushed all the way against the seatpost frame piece (not sure what it's called, but it's a curved piece that the two clamps attach to. I doubt that though because I can see a little scraping on both sides caused when the seat kept...

I just purchased my second saddle, as I try different ones. I got the Respiro from REI, and really love the look and feel of it; however, no matter what I did, the seat kept tilting back. At first it tilted a good way back to where I had to make an emergency stop. I then got off, looked at the...
