    ST1 Elite chain ring mod

    Hi Jeff, I have a 48T ring by Sugino that I bought from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GSSBEM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You will also need to lengthen your chain for this. Hope this helps. Ken

    Well, I did... and the 52T felt too heavy in 9th gear so I went to 48T. Had to adjust chain length in both instances.

    ST1 Elite chain ring mod

    Thanks Joe, Yes, the idea was to maintain higher speed on my own as the cadence will be lower. Right now, on a flat straight away and comfortable cadence, I can maintain about 35-37km/hr. Peddling fast as I can I can get to about 42km/hr but it doesn't last too long.:p My ST1 Elite (Mountain...

    Panniers for City Kit (Racktime)?

    I also use an Ortleib (City Roller). You will need to add the included insert in the two latch system as the City Kit rack has a smaller diameter rail. Here is how the inserts and bag attaches to the rail. http://ortlieb.com Other brands may work but you should make sure there is enough...

    Hi everyone, This is my first thread. I purchased my Elite about 4 months ago and it was through this forum that convinced me to buy a Stromer. Overall I am pretty happy with my Elite but one thing after riding for a while is the limited top speed. With the current gearing on the Elite, (as...
