Bolt 379 of rear wheel .. does it need to be tight ?

Maybe it was tightened too much from the beginning…
How old is your Strida?
Do you know how many kilometres it was ridden so far?

  1. I believe that - as long as there is a spacer (washer) between 336 and wheel - it should be Ok.
    You can’t loose the wheel, that’s impossible. The washers’s diameter is anyway smaller than the outer bearing ring, so they can’t get in touch.

  2. I’ll try to list some points to look closely:

  • How’s the condition of your freewheel’s teeth?
    Read more and compare here
  • Wobbly rear wheel?
    (Is it possible to move the rear wheel in relation to the frame tubes.)
  • Condition of cup spring 363 (367 or nowadays 367-3), washer 364 and bolt 373?
    (respectively frame tube condition below - this again is crucial for the pre-tension of the cup spring)
  • Both bolts 274 are 100% tight?
