The back tire of my Strida LT has a big cut, probably due to too high air pressure. Anyway, I have a hard time finding a 16" replacement. The usual suspects along Pasong Tamo and Cartimar have at most very cheap kiddy bike tires of poor quality. Where bring other Philippine Strida driver their bike for repair, buy spares? ---

Just left as a very happy customer the DNC Bicylces store at 34 Granada St. Thanks! Yes, I am a German living in the Philippines. Blumentritt is a nick I use in reference to the great Bohemian Philippine expert Ferdinand Blumentritt. I bought my Strida a few years back at a local high end toy store which sold “strange” bikes more like gadgets without support. So was really happy to see a real Strida store with the newest models and lots of accessories. Kid in the candy store feeling. ---

Hi Blumentritt, Have you joined Philippine Strida Club Facebook Group? I hope to ride with you someday. Regarding the tire. I already went through 2 tires having a tear near the wire bead. I guess the tires over time become brittle. I’m using the stock Strida tires (GMD / Gumonder). ---

Sounds great except that I belong to the rare species of people, who haven’t joint facebook yet. The damaged back tire was the original stock tire. The suggestion at the shop was, that the damage was due to the bike not being used for a while. Will see how the new set will do. Reading various threads in this forum I am wondering however, if the damage is rather due to me having 16" LT composite rims and use a tire pressure on the high end, e.g. Right now 100 psi on the new tires. ---

Surely meant Mr. Sanders here the older wheels with 12 spokes, all I can say is that the newer, 5 spoke plastic wheels are indeed wobbly… [Re: Sideway movement of the rear wheel](http://www.stridaforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3633&start=0#p8002) ---
