Interview with Alex Stroh, The Technical product manager of SC

,

In the couch of Scooter Center

Alex straw, The technical product manager of SC

With the Platónika project, I get to know better and better to my partner in crime of this whole project and I am too happy to learn each day from one of the best Vespa mechanics I probably have met.

Besides he is also involved in the racing circus (on a Vespa of course) and - nothing more, nothing less - he is also one of the master minds in the development of bgm products for Scooter Center!

So -as I already know him- I thought it is time to have a look behind the scenes of SC and introduce to you Alex. Who many already know for his work, but few of his history.

 

I hope you like it, and if you have any more question, don't hesitate and open fire! ;)

Name: Alex

How long have you been working for? Scooter Center:

Since 2002

What is your task at Scooter Center:

Basically anything related to technical scooter equipment.

What's your relation to scooters:

I still have my first scooter - a typical PX80. Some PX200, also with sidecar, a T4 from 1961 (my oldest scooter), an ET3, V50S, V50Special and more complete my fleet.
During ESC racing weekends and for long distance races I also ride a PK-XL.

Racing is one of my favorite past times.

Gift idea for scooterists

Gudgeon pin puller -UNIVERSAL- Ø = 13, 15, 16, 19, 22mm

Part no.7674333

 

gudgeon pin puller

 

Why:

Bummed worn or tight gudgeon pins are a nightmare. The puller eliminates the danger of accidentally bending the connecting rod of the crankshaft.

Gudgeon pin puller

This awesome tool extremely simplifies pulling the gudgeon pin. This tool is perfect when it comes to vehicles, which can only be worked on from one side. Take Vespa PX, for instance. The gap between frame and cylinder is very small, making it almost impossible to use pliers. A very tight gudgeon pin can also be a problem when working on the engine placed on a workbench. If you want to pull the pin, you will have to support the connecting rod and the piston in order to put no pressure in the connecting rod bearing and / or the thrust washer.
The Buzzetti tool solves this problem by resting on the piston. The pin is pulled with a suitable taper adapter with internal thread. This process resembles unscrewing a simple screw. It is extremely simple and still highly efficient. Defects to the crank drive are prevented in the first place and an exchange is a lot easier.

Supplied with taper adapters with the following diameters:
Ø = 13,15,16,19,22mm

Even Martin Cook of Chislespeed (GB) said in Scootering magazine no. 308 that it was his favorite tool!
