Every STRIDA has the same triangle and belt drive and folds the same way. Still, not every part fits every model. Answer these three questions and you will know your STRIDA within a minute.
16 inch composite wheels with five wide spokes
16 inch aluminium rims with thin spokes
18 inch aluminium rims with thin spokes
1. How big are your wheels?
A STRIDA has 16 or 18 inch wheels. There are two ways to tell:
Look at the tyre
The size is printed on the side of the tyre, for example 16 x 1.50 or 18 x 1.25, and often also in millimetres such as 40-305 or 32-355. The second number is the rim size: 305 = 16 inch, 355 = 18 inch.
Count the spokes
Count the spokes of one wheel. Five broad plastic spokes: a STRIDA LT. Thin spokes: 24 spokes is 16 inch, 36 spokes is 18 inch.
Side by side you can see it straight away: an 18 inch wheel is about 5 cm bigger.
- 16 inch: STRIDA LT, STRIDA 5 / QR+ or STRIDA EVO 3S 16″
- 18 inch: STRIDA SX or STRIDA EVO 3S 18″
2. Can you change gears?
Do you shift by briefly pedalling backwards (three gears)? Then it is a STRIDA EVO 3S. The gears sit in the bottom bracket (Sturmey Archer), so the EVO has its own bottom bracket, cranks and chainwheel. The EVO is no longer made, but its parts are still available. The wheel size from question 1 tells you whether it is the 16 or the 18 inch version.
Do you shift by tapping the crank with your heel (two gears)? Then it is a STRIDA MAS. We have not sold it and have no parts made for the MAS. The frame and most other parts are the same as on the LT (16 inch) or the SX (18 inch), so choose that model below. Note: the MAS uses a different belt size.
Never need to shift? Then it is a single speed: one gear that is always right, like most STRIDAs. Simple, light and low-maintenance. It is an LT, a 5 / QR+ or an SX (18 inch).
3. 16 inch and single speed: LT or 5 / QR+?
- Composite wheels with five wide spokes (glass fibre reinforced): STRIDA LT. The LT comes without a kickstand, but one is available as an extra, so yours may have one.
- Aluminium rims with thin spokes and a quick release on the seat clamp, kickstand as standard: STRIDA 5 / QR+.
An older STRIDA?
Older models, such as the STRIDA 3, partly use different parts: see STRIDA 3 parts. Not sure? Email a photo of the side of your bike to info@strida.be and we will help you find out.
