Here is our chain system for Strida 5.0, I know some of you may already did before I upload these photos, but this is just the beginning from Five Big, we also will do same to Strida 3.0 and EVO version soon.
( Strida 3.0 with chain system will be done before TC show, also I will upload some photos to here. Please wait for couple days with patience… )
The ratio is 4.062, 65T : rear 16T freewheel
I know the ratio is bigger than current one , and I also have 60T chainwheel in hand for Strida 3.0…
Here we go…
AS my personal & my manager’s test ride this morning:
The chain system is running smoothly when test riding this morning, also very stronger than belt one, but due to we use 65T chainwheel/ PCD 144mm/ crank is 170mm for Strida 5.0, actually the total weight is a little bit heavier than current belt system but not really heavy, just a little bit.
And my manager said: " AWESOME" after his test riding…
unfortunately left Victoria Five Big a while ago, but I’m still in contact with this company.
You need just one of the freewheels - and in Europe, I guess?
and 2 freewheels (a 16T and a 18T). I measured today the freewheel inner circle and it seems that it is a standard 34.92mm freewheel and its width is 20mm
I already send them an e-mail… but i don;t know how to get JUST these pieces in Europe for me, and it is not really clear which freewheel did they use (in the pictures above)
(do you have a larger order from them time to time, do you have a shop in Austria?)
Well, usually they don’t really like to sell single units, but they’re making exceptions, too.
Let’s wait a few days for a reply - maybe it’s possible directly.
Not large, but orders sometimes - and I don’t have a shop, still private.
(I do have support of local and international dealers, but there’s no commercial interest from my side.)
Please let me know what you find out
(Guess we’ll meet them at the Eurobike/Friedrichshafen, don’t you want to attend us? )
I hope I will one of their exception (for 3 pieces) if not, i will ask them if they have a dealer in Korea because I have a friend there… and if they don;t have than I will ask you if you can help me.
I have a new job (and a new style of bicycling = Strida) and for sure I can come in August to the EXPO ((((((
I have a cousin not to far from that city… maybe through his eyes I will be there…
I don’t know anything about the contacts of Five Big, but Korea seems good…at least it’s much closer to them. OK, if that doesn’t work please tell me - then I’ll try to import a few to Europe on my own risk - don’t worry, you’ll get it, it’s just a matter of time I believe
I think to understand; too short in the new job…anyway it is much more important than the fair - wish you have much success
