Hey guys, i would like to ask you if you have any ideas on how to polish my strida bike…
i want to make it shine just like it was when i first bought it… do you have any tips for me???
Thanks…
Hello dear Sotos,
never tried before, but I guess any car polish will do.
I’d apply polish first on the insides of the bottom bracket triangle or the area below the seat molding to check paint compatibility
And your freewheel is still fine?
Just curious…
hiii!!!
haha yes my freewheel works fine, i still do a lot of klms … i dont know why yours doesnt work good, maybe another quality, but i still cant explain that … for me, main thing are the legs that should be working, not the freewheel haha
About polishing, i thought on applying baby oil, but thats probably stupid haha
i see the new ones and i am a little bit jelous on how they shine hehe
Well, the freewheel seems to suffer a lot when it rains or snows as it attracts all the dirt.
I guess weather conditions are better in Greece than in Northern Europe
…well that could be a good explanation. It is a fact that, due to good weather conditions, my bike almost never sees rain or snow … for sure some dirty water on the street, but almost never rain or snow.
Anyway, i thought this bike is also made for riding in bad weather conditions… i still dont get it.
For sure, any bike should be made for riding in the rain. Ming Cycles should definitely add a test including water/mud projection in their validation plan. Furthermore, they should listen more to their customers and read this forum
I am convinced that some small modifications would make this bike more reliable at a very limited cost. Proposals have been made on this forum, but apparently Ming Cycle engineers prefer to work on expensive carbon frames…
Very well said, thank you…agree fully
