Hey Todd,

I have had zero problems running 25mm on the AR1.

I have had 2 chances now to fix a flat tire on the Bontragger Aeolus Pro. While I found the tires to be a bit tight and a little difficult to change, I was able to do it without much problem. I had to use 2 plastic tire levers. I couldn’t just use one and hand pry the tire of. Putting the tires back on was a little easier, although I still had to use a tire lever at one point.

Thanks for posting your review of the Bontragger Aeolus Pro 5 wheelset on trekbikes.com. I was particularly interested in the photo you posted in your review as I have a 2013 Felt AR3. It looks like your AR1 is also a first generation bike from the AR line. I am wondring if you have had any tire clearance issues when riding with 25 mm tires (or any width for that matter). Also, since these are tubeless compatible, did you find mounting a tire with a tube more difficult than a dedicated clincher/tube rim? Thanks for your post and time to keep us informed!
