Hi All,
I just ordered myself a RadMini and am pretty excited. I've seen that there is a facebook user group where one can find good info on mods and accessories, however I've never been a facebook user so I'm hoping someone could help me here.
I have two questions about accessories.
The first, is I'd like to get some sort of throttle assist. I have read that a few folks seem to enjoy the cramp buster which I believe is more my style than a thumb throttle, (such as from 1859 Northwest). Does anyone have a link or know which version fits the Mini? CB2 or CB4 for example?
My second question is more of a hypothetical. I've ridden bikes and motorcycles pretty much my whole life, but never fat tires which I hear are prone to flats. I don't believe there are a extraordinary amount of thorns where I live, but ya never know. I've never been one to have much confidence in patches, typically have always just put in a new tube, but they seem to be pretty pricey. Would any Mini riders recommend just going with stock until my first flat, or would you be more proactive? I guess what I'm trying to get at is what might be a wise investment now? Thicker tubes? Better Tires (I've seen some nice recommendations on this forum already)? Or things like slime or Mr Tuffy liners? Some of this can be quite expensive so I thought I would ask for some opinions before investing a lot. Initially I am thinking maybe just some thicker tubes and Mr Tuffy liners? That way I'd be ready when I get my first flat?
Thanks in Advance
