Hi,
I’ve intensively read many thread and posts regarding the proper maintenance of the bike. I have noticed several important things and I wanted some advice regarding the basics to get :
-
I’ve read several time that snapping the bottom tube all the way in folded position too often will put a lot of tension on the belt. Is is correct ? A frame clip (such as https://www.google.lu/search?q=strida+fame+clip&rlz=1C1GCEB_enLU789LU789&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi6zZ27nvbdAhXsI8AKHUzRDioQ_AUIDigB&biw=2048&bih=1038&dpr=1.25#imgrc=c7Hn8se0o3DxhM:) is therefore a good idea, no ?
-
Regarding the freewheel ? Do I need to change it right away by an aluminium one or should I wait for any sign of wear of the one currently mounted (recurrent belt skipping if I understood correctly ) ?
-
Some inner tube in case of puncture and spare tyres ? Any brand recommanded. Should I stick with Schwalbe Kojack ? I’ve understood that there isn’t of lot of choices in 18’'.
-
Which kind of tools (and size) I need to check and maintain the spoke of the wheels ?
-
Any other recommandation ?
Regards,
Victarion.
