Sadly, I was misled by the seller that my SLO really was a legit STRIDA when I purchased it back in 2009. When one of the pedals failed shortly after purchase, the seller was not to be found. So over the years I’ve replaced several components with legit STRIDA parts or at least better than the chinese knockoff parts that were original to the SLO.
Looks like I will have to be diligent in doing a pre and post ride check of the tubes to ensure that I don’t have a catastrophic failure. So thank you fellow forum members for making these posts.
