Nitrogen might be better ideally, but from what I can tell it's marginal. The reason for CO2 though is that a large volume of gas can be compressed into a liquid so that you can easily fill a tire with a tiny cartridge of CO2. I don't have real figures, but it would probably take a bottle of...

It may work with threaded and threadless carts, but only with 16 gram threadless carts, which would have to use the base. Tt

Whatever it is, it looks to me like it's for Schrader valves. The base seems redundant and not big enough to hold a CO2 cartridge though. Does it unscrew and let you insert a CO2 cart? You know, I guess it could be for the threadless style of cartridges, in which case, if there's enough room...

What's the deal with the recall? Return for a full refund, or are they going to fix or provide you with a fix? TT

Just left Amsterdam after a couple of days. Not sure if it's Amsterdam or all of the Netherlands, but I heard there are 850,000 bikes there. I can believe it's just Amsterdam. There are bikes everywhere! I took a requisite canal tour where they said in a recent year they fished 18,000 bikes...

Or he's an e-bike firefighter. TT

Ha! That's a lot more reasonable! TT

Why do you carry 30 liters of water? TT

I'd like to hear back from the OP to know if/how this was resolved. I also think Pedaluma's suggestion about the bike shop swapping out a wheel from a bike on showroom floor was very good. That seems like a very appropriate response. TT

That, and I wouldn't like the idea of the pointy end of the screws aimed at my skull the case of an accident. TT

It's a lot easier and quicker to top off a gas tank than to top off a battery. TT

I think you're AI. TT

Wow. So sorry about your injury, but you seem to be making fantastic progress if you have over 1500 miles on your bike since December! I hope the bike is helping. Keep us in the loop about your adventures. TT

Tell us more about where you ride, especially when you go off road. That can mean a lot of things. TT

Since it's a new bike, I'd try to get the dealer or the manufacturer to replace the wheel, or at least have it rebuilt by a qualified mechanic. Your broken spoke is most likely due to the original problem with the wheel but it could have been caused by whoever tuned it when you took it in. I'm...

Then no, you won't get close to 90 miles. If, on the other hand, you turn off the power and use nothing but human power, the range is unlimited except by your endurance. The company probably tested (if they tested at all) using something closer to the low end of battery assist. Well, they...

What's the penalty for posting if we haven't bought the correct one? o_O

How to Make Enemies and Piss People Off, by Stefan Mikes. Sorry, Dale.

That all makes sense. Thanks for that perspective. Maybe I've been lucky and have had few cases that required intervention with my tubes. And apparently I'm one of the exceedingly rare people who don't freak out about patching a tube on while on a ride. If it happened to me more often I...

So, if we're going to make up scenarios that could happen in some alternative universe or other, could you run over a broken Coke bottle bottom that might rip or tear your tubeless tire? I'm certain there are situations that will defeat just about any flat preventative man has come up with so...
