From those that have actually done the swap, did you try to use the original display? If so, did it work, or what happened as to why it didn't?

I appreciate the input on the quality of the Aventure, but all I do is ride it on the street with the wife, from home to the beach. I use it as a beach cruiser basically and was wondering if it's worth the $300 upgrade.

Wow, that's great! Thanks!! Is it really that simple though?? Are we 100% sure that new bottom bracket will fit the frame on the Aventure? Why is a new display needed? Is there a How To to see how the wire gets run?

I own an original Aventure which has a standard pedal speed sensor and am wondering if Aventon has plans to make an Upgrade Package to install the new Aventure.2 Torque Sensor?

Nope, it's a compression fitting and can be pulled right off with a thin metal spatula. They're also sold as a replacement part for like $15 I think.

Why don't you visit a local store that sells them, or even rents them to see?

I never did get exact details on replacement units - details good enough to purchase one. They sent me a new OEM BB under warranty that I installed today.

Yes that's a problem if one Aventure bike thinks its a Pace! What if you factory reset it and start over?

You just need to educate yourself! Park Tool has some excellent youtube videos on the subject - watch them to get a better understanding of the parts and how to make them work best for you

Update: Besides the orginal BB that came in the bike, there's only 2 other alternatives that fit - not counting a custom made Phil Wood unit, or the like. I'm waiting for an email from Aventon detailing what those 2 other units are. I will post back when I have more info.

I'm very familiar with bearings, and know these sealed bearings are at the low end of the spectrum with regard to quality. I also know they can't be serviced and are a replaceable part. Also, what I believe you're referring to being scratched up is in fact grease smears? There's no scratches on...

OK - you've all waited long enough... I finally had the time, and the proper tools, to take out the bottom bracket on my Aventure. Here's the pics... You can see in the 2nd pic the R side threaded screw is holding the entire piece together. I used the puller to separate the bearing from the...

The reason could be a very simple one - your transmission is not rated for towing. That's what I was told years ago when I had an Acura TL... transmission made of glass some said! Ha! I custom installed a Curt hitch and moved my wife and I from FL to CA pulling a 4x8 trailer over the course of 5...

What an Aventure so far... with trying to get this crank apart and the BB out!! The first crank puller tool I purchased ended up stripping the threads on the crank - this Sunlite product I cannot recommend. I returned it (and the 14mm hex bit socket I also bought for it) and purchased this from...

Here's Curt hitch that fits an E350. Not sure it'll fit your car, but it's worth a look.
