There is also a little toolkit bag that fits directly under the saddle which is useful for tyre levers and hex key sets

Just got an Aventure 2 this past weekend and I absolutely love it already. First weekend out I put the same amount of miles on it that I'd put on my previous ebike over two years! My first bike is a standard commuter style. I'm a big boy too, and when I was shopping for my first ebike a couple of years ago, I forgot that when I was regularly riding regular non electric bicycles about ten years ago, I never liked street bikes because they weren't comfortable for someone my size. I wound up with a full suspension mountain bike with big knobby tires and a plush ride. I realized the reason I wasn't riding my first ebike was that I didn't enjoy the ride. Not exactly bad, but not good either! I decided to get a fat tire bike for comfort and the Aventure was a great choice for me. These recommendations all seem solid. Thanks so much. I'll probably get most of these items you recommend actually! Thanks for the video!

[@GaryCantrell]

I'm happy to hear that you've landed on the Aventure! It's such a great bike. Thank you so much for watching and the kind words!

[@davidfromdownunder]

Thanks mate, you've given me a few ideas for a better ride experience

[@GaryCantrell]

Thanks for watching!!! Let me know how it works out!

[@eugene1653el]

Wow that's what I've been waiting on a big guy review you sir just got a subscriber

[@GaryCantrell]

Thank you so much! I’ll try and give all the tips I can. Anything particular to a big guy on a bike you need?

[@bobbutson]

Same. THANK YOU for posting this video!!

thanks for sharing the addons Gary. thumbs up

Hi Gary, I just ordered the Aventure 2 and looking forward to getting it and am going to order some of the accessories you mentioned. I'm a bigger guy as well and thought you did a great job with the review.

[@GaryCantrell]

Thank you!!! I really appreciate that.

[@TheBrit07]

@@GaryCantrell no problem, question for ya. Did you put any run flat in the tires at all? What do you recommend to make the seat more comfortable? I already upgraded the seat but is there anything else you can put on the stem?

[@GaryCantrell]

I never tried the run flat although that’s probably a good idea. I never tried any of the suspension seat posts but there are a ton out there so that could be an option

[@acidbran]

Thanks, just ordered the seat and a few other items. Just got a new Adventure 2 yesterday.

[@GaryCantrell]

Thank you so much for watching!! I hope you are enjoying the Aventure!!

[@Strikersw]

Nice job on the video, I had to laugh as I had searched out my accessories and you recommended just about everyone I had bought. I'm running a Lectric 3.0 xp and these accessories work just as well on my bike. When you mentioned your weight I thought finally a brother I can relate to on this matter 😅

[@GaryCantrell]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it.

[@Squiggy486]

I went with a different seat and mirror. I don't love either and the seat you chose was another on my list of options. I may have to try it.

[@GaryCantrell]

Give it a go and let me know if you like it.

[@randyfox5317]

I just bought a Pace 500.3 and found this video *very* informative. I too am a larger rider (6'4" - 270lbs) and was particularly interested in your choice of seats. As a long time recreational photographer, I was also interested in the bag you described. I really wish you had your camera gear in there to show how much you can actually put in there. (I also use a mirrorless - Olympus) One question regarding that bag- I assume there are no entanglement issues when the side bags are deployed? I just feared a bag not full having the ability to 'flap' back into the spokes. I hope I'm wrong? Again, great video. As a fellow bigger rider, I really appreciated your viewpoints. Cheers.

[@GaryCantrell]

I appreciate you checking out the video and your comment. Good to hear from a fellow photographer. The only reason I didn't film the camera in the bag was because I was filming on it and didn't stop to think for a second that I could have just filmed that part on my phone haha!!! I will keep this in mind for future videos. I never had any entanglement issues in my experience. Thanks again for checking the video out!!

[@DatGuy960]

Great video! I wish I would've seen it earlier. I have the handlebar mirror and I guess it works but it is obstructed. I want one of those that attach on the end. I want that adjustable stem, too. Yes, I have the exact issue you described. BTW-I WAS 250lbs when I got my bike in Sept...215 now.

[@GaryCantrell]

That is so awesome!!! Congratulations!!!! Thank you for watching

[@oliver.gardiner]

I made my bike just like yours, and coincidentally my bike is the same color as your. Love your video bro keep them coming, I will do one sometime in the future

[@GaryCantrell]

Thank you!!! These are my favorite bikes!! I’m glad you are enjoying yours!!

[@jonnystarr4975]

Just ordered one today

[@Thedaossun]

Great video, I just got the Pace.3 hopefully i can ride it to work

[@GaryCantrell]

Thank you for watching!! Enjoy your new bike!!

[@WillieBecerra]

How did you mount your headlight after changing the stem?

[@kyjelly5524]

Ordered one 2 weeks ago. It finally shipped. Who knows when it will arrive.

[@Squiggy486]

Amazingly u set your same ebike up very similar as I did. The same bag, bell, phone holder and stem riser. We must have both got our excellent upgrade ideas from some of the same content creators.

[@GaryCantrell]

Yeah it works out for a nice set up for sure. Thanks so much for watching and your previous comments!!!

[@ivymosaics]

Thanks. I’m getting my bike tomorrow.

[@GaryCantrell]

Very cool! Congrats and enjoy it!!! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@dreadfulscientist-metavers9658]

[@GaryCantrell]

[@Squiggy486]

If you are thinking of a suspension seat post, I got the Suntour SR, love it, but had to move the bag WAY back or my hind end would hit on it. Love the ride though.

[@GaryCantrell]

Appreciate the tip, i will definitely check it out. Thank you!!!

This is a sweet setup, pretty much what I was thinking on adding. Just not the mirror. 👌😎

Did you have to buy spacers for the adjustable stem?

Thanks for the great video! Do you mind sharing what PSI you like to ride at?

[@GaryCantrell]

Thank you! I ride at 30 PSI

[@barrybilland247]

Great video! What size stem should I get? There are three sizes on the page and I want to get the same one you have. I see the link defaults to a size but want to make sure. thanks!

[@GaryCantrell]

Hey thanks so much for checking out my video. The exact size I used was 31.8x90mm Good luck with it!!! Based on your question i am going to add that size next to the link so thank you for that!!!

I like the fact you have a tourniquet but if you really need it you'll never get to it there. May I respectfully suggest moving it to say the water bottle pouch. I like the other items you have too. Thanks for the ideas

Where do I get an extra battery for a adventure cadence sensor bike

[@leeolson9103]

I'm curiuos about something. In your part 1 video you say you like and use the YLC comfort seat and in this part 2 video you say you like and use thew Bikeroo seat. Which is it?

[@donnathibodeau6688]

How do you attach the bag? Just can’t seem to figure out where exactly to attach the bottom Velcro… it doesn’t seem to fit right.

[@selectedge]

Hi, would love to know if you emptied your bag that is on the rear rack, can you fit the Aventure battery inside the bag?

[@GaryCantrell]

I just tried and sadly it doesn’t fit. The bag is more than deep enough but length wise is where it falls short. The WOTOW bag I have linked in the description is a bit longer and will fit the battery but it is snug. Thank you for watching!!

[@selectedge]

@@GaryCantrell Thanks for checking and responding, have a great day

[@GaryCantrell]

[@SilbarPR]

Can you suggest a lock? I just bought the Level 2 for my wife and I. Thanks!

[@GaryCantrell]

I am currently using this one: amzn.to/43kcIhI But also looking to try others to see if there is a better one out there. Thanks for watching!!

[@williamannick2734]

Will the 31.8 Bike Stem Adjustable 0-60 Degrees work with the existing stem that is on the adventure?

[@GaryCantrell]

Yes it will. Thank you for watching!

This was clutch - thanks!

[@GaryCantrell]

Thank you for watching!!

[@jerrysolonsmith8471]

I'm also a clydesdale sized dude and have an aventure2, have you done any tire additives for flat prevention? Have you had any long term frame/chain/gear problems? Because of our size, what's your maintenance interval look like? I'm new to not just ebikes but all bikes, so I'm on a steep learning curve currently.

[@GaryCantrell]

The only thing I had to replace was brake pads after around 500 miles which seemed quick to me. Thank you for watching the video!!

[@kyjelly5524]

I orders the tan one 10 days ago. It still hasn’t shipped. :(. The green looks bad ass though.

[@DontKnowGuy]

What do you use for anti theft

[@GaryCantrell]

Thanks for watching!! I cover that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5OxfqSYiM-Gn9U

[@sandybear1480]

Hi Gary, We have commuter level 2 and purchased the suggested bike stem handlebar riser but the holes don't line up for our light now. The original has the light mounting bracket integrated into origional riser and now the holes do not align. What' did you use to mount your light? Thanks.

[@GaryCantrell]

I put the light on the extender

[@robertspradlin7653]

I see the light is mounted to the extender, would you please share what mount you used for the light? Thx!

Thinking about the stem replacement you bought the 90mm. How tall are you? I'm 6'2"

How many beers do you think the bag will hold? Serious question.

If we’re talking 12oz cans you could do a 6 pack no problem maybe more

@@GaryCantrell Nice! Thanks for the quick response.

[@goldenninja007df]

So do you like the seat better than cloud9??????

[@GaryCantrell]

I do, however on my latest video there is a different seat from this one that I've found. The YLG oversized seat which I think is better than both.

[@rontrabbic8827]

I like to see ADVENTON AVENTURE 2 have a battery sale

[@GaryCantrell]

Probably black friday is the next sale my guess...

[@EricJaakkola]

Would be difficult to sneak up on someone with this bike.

[@alchemist006]

bought the mirror but it doesnt appear that the screw fits into the side of the regular handlebar

[@GaryCantrell]

Same bike? It was loose going in for me but I was able to tighten it in and now it fits perfectly.

[@alchemist006]

@@GaryCantrell user error. i didnt realize that you had to take out the end cap. i thought it was supposed to fit into that opening in the handlebar but it looks like that is just to hold part of the handlebar to the rest of the frame

Is the bag waterproof?

If you like that seat, put a suspension post on, you'll love it then.

I will have to try that next thank you!!
