CORRECTION: Some viewers have alerted me to the fact the the UNC-Charlotte enrollment is closer to 30,000. My 6,000 figure came from "the interwebs" but was probably referring to one of the colleges within the university. Anyway...I give "higher ed" a bit of a hard time now and then but I will have to say that the section of trail that passes thru the UNCC campus is beautiful and is one of the highlights of these "creek trails."

I saw this product called Flat Out. I did a lot of research and watched a lot of utube videos before installing it on our bikes. Easy to install last 10 years, won’t freeze. You can find KZbinrs testing it and I was sold on it. Hopefully this will be helpful for you. We travel with confidence knowing we have it in our tires.

Great looking trail. Gotta get to it soon. I only had one flat since my new Hyper E ride. It happen on The Gateway in Kings Mtn less than a mile from the trail head. Normally that wouldn't be so bad...But Ebikes are heavy. It was like walking a Lawn chair with non rolling wheels. Seems I hit a very sharp rock. Possibly an Arrowhead. That ripped a half an inch hole in my tire and tube. The only thing that saved me was the walker button . @15:53 - Seems all the trail I've been on have a lack bathroom a water fountains. @16:37 - After that first flat tire, I do carry an electric pump, at least one spare tube with a tire changing kit. It all fits in a small bag on my handlebar. @20:32 - I find watermelon great for eating after a long ride. Try some Pineapple too.

I would recommend attending one of the free maintenance clinics that local bike shops have from time to time. Bicycles with rim brakes and releasing the rear wheel from the chain and reinstalling the rear wheel are the most difficult part of repairing/replacing a tube. Once you have the wheel off replacing the tube is relatively simple. Village Wrench in Greenville has maintenance clinics often that are free. I’ve had to do the walk of shame or carry bicycles back to the car. Learning to repair a flat will prevent most walks of shame 😊. Always look forward to seeing your videos!!

Beautiful trails, thanks for sharing. I'm in Salisbury just North of Charlotte. I haven't ridden the Charlotte trails yet but plan too. My father was a preacher and also not really mechanical, God rest his soul. I used to say his idea of car maintenance was putting gas in the tank. I'm a retired ME so maybe it balances out. Anyway, perhaps as a compromise you could add a small bike multitool and a hand pump to your bike. And, while some may disagree, have a bike shop but tire sealant in your tires. Then, next puncture, you would have a way to add air to the tire, and the sealant would slow or stop the leak. This would get back to your car. You just need to learn to attach and work the pump and you're good to go. The multitool is 'just in case' something else. I love your humor, and you do make professional grade videos. God bless.

Hate to say it but you could have repaired that flat with a patch kit and easily repaired that front tire flat with a new tube considering it was a front tire. Super easy to do especially with those quick releases in the front hub. Should always carrying a small pump and a spare tube in your bags. Light and compact but a life saver on the road especially long trail rides like you do. No mind you should learn how to actually change the tube or patch the tube and take wheels off which is easy to do and plenty of KZbin videos out there to show you. As this can easily happen on a super long ride we’re the car is 15 miles away. 😮 also you should have looked me up when in Charolette I was a bike mechanic for many years back on the day. Built wheels myself and know a lot. Next time you are in Charolette let me know be glad to train you how to fix flats the proper way so you can avoid huge hassle next time. It’s bound to happen again. Oh that was an old good sized thorn in the tire that was left in the tire and with time rolling on it it worked its way into the tube. Always look at tires before and during ride to insure nothing is stuck in the tire before it works itself through the tire and punctures the tube. Shoot me a message I will give you my phone number. I am in Indian land south Charolette.
