Been looking for online shops for a replacement of the plastic chainwheel on my Strida, seems like the Alloy Chainwheel (areaware CYSP-CW1) it is out of stock everywhere
Is there anyone who has replaced the plastic one ? And what size is there to look for ?
Have also been looking into the famous Schlumpf kit for strida, but i am very happy with the gear-ratio as it is on my (single speed) Strida. ā¦oh, did i mention that the Schlumpf kit for strida is about $1100 (all included) to Norway
Been out of luck looking for a plastic replacement so far, have even contacted a lot of online shops (& Strida US and Europe) without any luck so far.
Is there any chance of a replacement for the plastic chainwheel ?
Iāve been looking for an alloy belt wheel for months, so I think the only chance to get alloy wheels in hands (as European) will be to buy those parts in Hongkong directly.
Thanks for the reply, and i will contact Mr. and check it out. There is probably others interested in this issue as well, so i will be posting any interesting findings regarding this chainwheel replacement.
Strida Part Nr. is ST-CW-001 is the one i am looking for. Thanks for the links, but the interesting link regarding the ST-CW-001 is in Chinese Even my old friend Google-translate did not help much.
Thank you for your interest in the Alloy Chainwheel. This is a special order part and can take up to two to six months to arrive. You may place your order online at areaware.com and we will process as quickly as possible
Although my Chinese is far from perfect is there anything I could do to help? For example on the addone Taiwan website the price for the ST-CW-001 is 4,500 Taiwan dollars, which is roughly US$153.
Thank you very much for trying to help. The addone-site requires a membership (that is okey) but the county/region/town are all in Asia somewhere, there are no options for Europe or other countries. So it makes it difficult to finish the membership and place an order
Do you think there might be a way around this ?
ā¦and sorry for my somewhat poor English (not to mention my Chinese)
When I have time I will try to examine the website further and see if I can find a way to help you (and others). Iām quite busy recently but I will try soon to help.
I bought a Strida LT recently and started riding it, but found that the chainwheel / sprocket / front pulley is warped, and rubs the frame. I tried contacting many places, but have been unable to get any assistance, not regarding warranty for the STRIDA parts nor any replacement parts. I have contacted these places:
I think this bike would be really cool, but I am sad about the quality of the plastic sprocket, and that the company does not seem to stand behind its product. If anyone has any suggestions, Iām open. A specialty bike like this should have durable parts, especially if it is so difficult to find parts. I suspect that this was a great bike company when it was in the U.K., but quality may have dropped off since transfer to Hong Kong. A weak plastic chainwheel which is the main piece to make this bike move seems like a bad idea in the first place. I wouldnāt mind paying for a metal version of this, even if itās heavier, but some level of quality would be nice. Awesome concept, but not made for public consumption, not until theyāve got some dealers & parts available. I have pictures available if anyone wants to see them; Iām having trouble posting an image here.
Iām sorry that you have trouble with the plastic beltwheel and I wonder that nobody was able to help you.
Also Iāve never heard of a warped beltwheel, but maybe you got accidentally an especially bad one.
Naturally we would like to see pics of the beltwheel, if the following post does not help;
Wow thatās a huge defect! I would bring it back to the store you bought it from and they should fix that problem. Itās one of the strong points of buying bikes with an actual local distributor. If all else fails you can go to the HK guys gum.hk/ . They will carry and can order any part you need.
One more question:
Is your chainwheel touching the frame constantly or just that part of the chainwheel rubs the frame? because if itās constantly you might want to check out your bottom if it was on correctly on both sides.
Yeah. I checked with my local dealer, but they say that STRIDA has recently changed their distributor so they have no way to get new parts, and they no longer have an account with Strida. Iām not sure who the new distributor is; this is the list I was going by - eccyclesupply.com/strida/dealers.html
so, I donāt know if ecyclesupply is still the distributor anymore; I havenāt been able to make contact with them; no phone number, just a SUBMIT webform available.
I bought the bike through Groupon in partnership with ecyclesupply (East Coast Cycle Supply).
I suspect that Ecyclesupply is no longer the distributor, and they partnered with Groupon to purge their inventory.
So, now Iām left with hunting around. If anyone knows who the new US DISTRIBUTOR is, I would be interested. Thanks!
