rear hinge reinforcement - heavy duty

Strida Forum Tips and Techs

Dear Blackstridaaustria,

thanks a lot for your patience and persistence. I finally understood what you mean.

I was not aware that the 18 Nm is not the torque you need to preload the spring but to tighten the bolt on the axle stump and the preload is just ensured by the gap that is left between the frame and the washer (or the armor washer and the recessed washer in your case).

Sorry for being that dull. :blush:

The only question left is now where to order your heavy duty rear hinge reinforcement kit?
Because I now understood that the recessed washer is the essential part that most likely is not available in a shop and I don’t have the tools to manufacture one by myself.

Thanks in advance.
