Yes. Fortunately, local strida dealer agreed to fix this under warranty.
Holy Geez how in the world did you tear a hub apart?! Which model strida do you have?
This is a stock wheel of strida 5.2 (I bought it this summer). And I did not do anything special. Actually, I’ve noticed it accidentally
because my Strida 5.0 16 inch wheel hub has these funny elongated holes which two spokes go into each one but didn’t have extra holes between like that though. Never had a problem with them but then I moved onto the 18 inch wheels and the hub on those have no empty hole spacing all spoke holes only. It’s a solid piece of metal and after 4000km’s on them they’re still fine luckily .
Yeah, 18" wheels should be better. I was thinking of buliding them from the beginning. Now it’s time to set to work, I guess =)
If I stayed on my 16 inch rims I would have upgraded to those Strida LT mag wheels! no more spokes to break!
Afaik, those wheel are even less durable (judjing by the maximum allowed tyre pressure). Plus they are not repairable (not more spokes to replace =)).
I think regular spoked wheels are ok if they are correctly built (tensioned, stress-releived, etc…) and free from factory defects (this is my case I guess).
