Received my Pace500 (not step thru frame.. size "L") 10 days ago.. Here are some comments:
Packaging: The shipping box had one big tear in the side, but, didn't affect anything. Overall, packaged very well and well protected.
Assembly: Aventon needs to update the installation manual they...
I did find this on Amazon: (pic on the box shows Presta.. description shows Shrader.. we'll see what shows up!) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KB726PY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
So.. Amazon is out of the 48mm long valve Shrader tube... Anyone else care to share what tube they bought for a spare? (I just received my new Pace 500 and want to get a few new spare tubes...) Wondering if Aventon used an "off size" for their wheel/tire/tubes? (The Kenda tire on my new bike...
Agreed.. if my wife is 4" taller than this person.. maybe the seatpost is up another inch or two.. so I'm still thinking the medium frame size is the best bet.. Thanks!
@67Tony.. Thanks for your feedback. Based on what I see.. I think my wife will need the "Medium" frame (they don't make a "Large" in the step thru model.)
I have a Pace500 on order for myself (can't wait for it to ship!). Large frame is was the obvious choice for me due to my size (6'4" and 260 lbs). Looking at the Pace500 Step Thru as a possibility for my wife, who is 5'6" - and I'd say "average to long legged" for her height.. and 150 lbs or...
I thought about this.. but.. the componentry, in general, on this bike, is fairly low.. I bought it used.. and.. don't want to put a lot of money into it..
Team.. I'm strongly looking at a CrossCurrent (S2 model.. but I know dimensions are the same for the X model). I'm a big guy (6'4", 265 lbs)... 59 years old.. and have decided on the XL frame so the seatpost won't stick out TOO far.. . Due to WAY too many lower back surgeries, I have to have a...
Thanks for all of the replies.. Truly.. my biggest concern in making my final decision, is spending $1800 bucks on a bike effectively from a "mail order" company - be it Juiced or RadPower.... It isn't the purchase itself.. it is "service after the sale"... I realize RadPower is probably the...
