Stromer models with a chain have a motor located in the hub motor. Freewheel<\/a>. It is an independent mechanical component and connects the motor to the cassette. It decouples the cassette, chain and cranks from the driven rear wheel so that they do not continue to rotate when you roll without pedaling. The rear wheel is therefore able to overtake the stationary crank in terms of speed, which is why freewheels are also called 'overrunning clutches'.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Stromer freewheel is a pawl freewheel. For the models ST7 | ST5 ABS | ST5 2018 | ST3 2018 | ST1 LCI | ST1 2019<\/a> it is a Cannondale Formula freehub body (FH-528 -11 gears)<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pawls and the spring are not available individually from Cannondale. As the user Henry<\/a> In the NL-Stromerforum, as can be determined in a self-experiment, almost identical freewheel units from DT Swiss can be used. They are slightly less high and symmetrical. They are said to be even quieter in operation than the originals.<\/p>\n\n\n

Defects \/ repair<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Defekte sind selten und entstehen meist durch falsche Montage.\u00a0Eine Reparatur des Freilaufs ist m\u00f6glich, allerdings fraglich beim Originalpreis von ca. \u20ac 50.

The individual parts are not available as a repair kit, but you can buy them separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
