    Thanks again for your very descriptive reply. It sounds like the Rio Grande Trail could be a nightmare, or just make sure you ride prepared for the worst, maybe I'll stay a long the Sandia's. Yea, those Goat Head Stickers are nasty. I have not encounter or had a reason to look for them until...

    Lucky for my the flat occurred, just a couple blocks from home as my ride for the day wound down. I got home, took a close look at thie tire and I could feel air coming out of the valve a long with the hissing noise. I suspected a bad valve core. I took the wheel to the LBS and they discovered...

    Tools Needed

    Thanks, and as you stated, it is not universal coverage. I will have to take a gander at my New Mexico Coverage, or maybe narrow down to the Albuquerque Metro Area.

    I was unaware that AAA would pick up a byciclist? I guess I need to look over my policy.

    Tools Needed

    Thanks for all the good advice. I forgot to throw in that I do have a rechargeable portable tire pump. My tires had the Tannus Inserts intalled at the shop when they assembled my bike. Funnty on those Inserts, either people love them or hate them. I guess over time, I will figure out what camp...

    Tools Needed

    I pick up my Aventon Level Monday, and was wondering what you folks carry with you in your bag for unexpected emergencies, like flat tires. I will have Tire Levers and spare tube with me but outside of that, are there other tools or emergency equipment you bring with you? I'd like to keep it...

    Am I adequately covered?

    I purchased my first E-Bike yesterday, Aventon Level - 2. The LBS installed Tannus Armour, plus BR Cushcore in both tires, is that good enough for protection against flats or do I need to toss a can of Fix-A-Flat in my bag for just incase? I pick up the bike this upcoming Monday. The bike was...

    I have a Level 2 coming from my LBS...

    I was in the shop yesterday for a couple hours and had my heart was set on an Aventure with the free battery promotion. The Salesman told me, not to let a free battery determine my decision. I checked out both the Level 2 and Aventure. Rode around in the parking lot, I couldn't believe the speed...

    Greetings from Albuquerque...

    Actually, not a bad photo as I was able to zoom in. It appears as you stated, all hybrid tires are not treated equally. I can clearly see the difference between your bike and your friends Aventon. Yours in the photo shows an aggressive lug design whereas the Venton is subtle. Thanks again...

    Greetings from Albuquerque...

    Thanks for both of your photo's from you and McCreary. Without seeing a photo on Aventon's Website, they do however state this in their technical specs. " 27.5" x 2.1" Hybrid Tires, Reflective Sidewalls". Is this what we're talking about as for a Hybrid Tire you both describe in your pictures...

    Greetings from Albuquerque...

    Hello, I have an appt for Monday to talk with a LBS here in town. Question I have for you is, can you get by without a Fat Tire Bike on the Rio Grande Trail? I am leaning towards the Aventon Level -2. Thank Thanks for your reply. Who knows, I still can change my mind and go with a Fat Tire. I...

    What's that rattle

    Thank you gentlemen for the replies. It does give me some insight, and it sounds like it may not be a chronic problem as I originally thought. I am planning on taking a hard look at the Level -2. Originally the Aventure -2, but I am an older gentleman who is rather leery of the added weight and...

    What's that rattle

    I have seen mutlitple YouTube video's regarding the Aventon Line, particularly the Level 2 and the Aventure. Both seem to rattle, quite audible in the video's. You certainly don't need a bell on your ebike to forewarn any foot traffic as they can hear you a distance away. What is doing all the...
