Thanks

I would like to upgrade my flat pedals. This is for urban riding. Many of the flat pedals I have seen have pins sticking up. I guess this is for traction. But a shoe might not sit properly on the pedal because of the pins?

Thanks

Thanks. I am mostly an urban rider. I chose Big Ben because I want a brown tire. I hope that with Slime inside, they'll be ok.

I am interested in Big Ben tires. I would like either a 2" or 1-1/2" width. What would be the pluses and minuses of each? Thanks.

Yes, that's an option.

Interesting. I will have to be sure to get a removable core.

I'm primarily an urban rider and it seems the best preventative solution for me is a tube sealant product (e.g. Slime-Red). I have read that Slime can be difficult to use with Presta valves. Does anyone have experience with this issue? Thanks.

Thanks everyone. This forum is very helpful.

Thanks

A high quality inner tube can help prevent flats. I would like to put Big Ben's on the bike. Schwalbe also makes tubes that are highly rated. Perhaps also use Slime. My riding is primarily city. Does this sound like a good approach? Thanks.

Thanks

Thanks. Had you been using Slime when you found the staple?

Thanks

Thanks. If I use Slime in a tube tire, do I have to replace the tube after a period of time?

Thanks

Apparently, flat tires are a significant issue for ebikes. I've read that there are prevention sealants (e.g. Slime Red) available which help. Do the majority of owners use sealants or perhaps some other methods to minimise the number of flats? I am only a casual paved road rider.

Thanks

When selecting the correct frame size of a bike, do you need to consider that the Thudbuster ST will be added?

Thanks
