new to the forum so thanks in advance for any help and advice
always wanted a strida but not the latest versions…picked up a mk 3 for £40…it has been well used and after giving it the once over…i have some questions…not sure if i can post pics but will try…
1…how can the snubber be adjusted on this model…it is constant contact with the belt…and a line can be seen down the middle of the belt showing where it is not making contact…
2…i think the front chain? ring is ok…teeth look ok to me but if needing to replace, are parts available…
3…the rear hub teeth look worn…can this be replaced…are parts available
4…the retaining screw for the ball joint socket springs in and out and cannot be tightened, the socket may be cracked inside…bill at stridacanada kindly provided some advice…possible that a retaining nut inside needs tightening up
5…a schwalbe black jack tyre is fitted to the rear wheel…is this a suitable size…it looks too wide
many thanks for any feedback and will look to see how to add pics to the post
According to drawings had these elder models a recessed snubber bolt.
(Function in short: Open bolt - put feeler gauge between belt and snubber - tighten bolt - remove gauge.)
The freewheel inside perhaps, but not the plastic part.
No, cant’ be replaced (riveted) and not any longer available (for metal wheels, plastic ones can be found…maybe…)
Possibly…pics could tell more.
As long as they do not touch anything (belt, frame) they’re not too wide I believe…anyway I’d recommend to use the same tyre sizes/types front and rear
Of course you can send pics to be uploaded also to the address below,
just wondered if anyone has a view on condition of rear cog/front ring before i order some parts…no point in getting bits and pieces if the ones that count are at end of life and not available…
