Hello, Just joined the forum. I haven't ridden in over 20 years but have been looking at the c50T to get back into this. Really love the bike but every review mentions two things and was wondering if any current owners could comment on this.

Does anyone feel the bike does not have sufficient stopping power with the single front brake? I'll generally be riding only 1 up with some gear so won't have a lot of weight.

What is the big deal with tube tires? Do they blow out more readily the tubeless or are they more dangerous in a blow out? Seems every reviewer comments on this.

Also, my two local dealers have pretty much said that the c50T sells so well that they don't deal much at all on it. Has this been everyone's experience in buying the bike?

A lot of questions but I really do appreciate the expertise on this forum.

Thanks for the help!!
