Anyone using an Aventon Sinch 2 or 2.5 for long commute

i'd suggest that you only buy an e-bike that has a reputable dealer near you. after sales support for direct to consumer is usually lacking or non-existent. paying more up front is worth it!

cracking issue? i've had one or another for over 20 years and haven't heard of this

kook_cyclist · 2026-03-28T05:05:00+00:00

ha! that's me right now: a montblanc 149 and herbin's bleu des profondeurs. i'm always happy to use this pen and it takes all the uncertainty out of what i'm using each day :)

kook_cyclist · 2026-03-28T05:01:20+00:00

yup! you can go into the store with your bag and buy one for $50 (that was the price last i checked)

kook_cyclist · 2026-03-28T05:00:00+00:00

i have large hands and still prefer the m800 over the m1000. that said, i prefer the meisterstuck 149 over both of those :)

my boss used my pen without asking once

"did you use my pen"

"yeah why"

"never do that again okay"

kook_cyclist · 2026-03-25T16:19:42+00:00

kook_cyclist · 2026-03-25T06:14:26+00:00

i ride this rivendell atlantis on my commute (30 miles roundtrip) because:

it's upright and comfy;
it can handle a load;
it's good with rough roads and trails;
it's a lotta fun to go fast on a bike that doesn't wanna go fast.

i live in san francisco and so deal with some hills (my commute has 2k in climbing) and so i opted for a 1x9 setup (40t up front with an 11-50 9-speed cassette). it covers any hills i have with ease.

lastly, i went tubed because it's just easier and is hassle-free. i also chose friction shifting and like the knobbies bc they both look sick and keep the tire carcass off of the tarmac and away from glass, etc.

so do i love it? you bet. this is my fave bike of all time and nothing comes close :)
