That is correct, the master cylinder is part of the caliper, and can be actuated by any standard cable brake setup. They're well thought out, installation is ridiculously easy, and they work just as good as full hydraulic brakes. The primary reason I chose them is that I could retain the OE...

I upgraded the brakes on my Radwagon to TRP HY/RD cable actuated hydraulic brakes. It's basically no more involved than swapping calipers as one may retain the OE levers and cables.

I Understand that, and went with Rad Power Bikes because they offer the best balance of price, and quality for my needs. With the upgrades and modifications I've made, I feel my Radwagon is now just as good as a Yuba, or Extracycle, yet still less than half the price. I replaced it with a...

No, it is the prerogative of the site owner, the rest of us are just guests, and it's incredibly arrogant to label it as laziness because it not only slanders the site owner, but those of us who agree with their decision.

It doesn't seem reasonable to expect an entire website to conform to one individuals point of view as if no one else matters.

That's outrageous, saying you did it on purpose. I hope you have both the cops, and a lawyer on this. She needs a harsh lesson.

Sorry you got hit, hope you're ok, a co worker got hit last week too. His bent got totaled, and his foot is broken, classic right hook. They say things come in 3's, I hope I'm not it.

When I mounted the straps and buckles, I used leather working hammer rivets for most of them. If I were to do it again, I would use panhead screws and acorn nuts instead.

I kept one OE rotor, and trying a shimano rotor, and have the TRP HY/RD 180m rotors on order because I could only find them with 140m or 160mm rotors at the time I ordered them. Other than trimming the opening and and adding a spacer to the wheel guard so the cable can be rerouted, there's not...

I got the cable actuated hydraulic brakes installed, wow, what a difference. A lot stronger and more progressive...and no more manual adjusting! The front was super easy to install, literally easier and faster than adjusting the OE brake. The rear was a little more time consuming as the wheel...

They're very basic, heavy duty newspaper bags from Holland, (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) They're huge being big enough to carry 6 grocery bags, a little crude but heavy duty made with military grade truck tarp and 1/4" plywood As purchased, they're throw on bags without straps to secure the...

My daily 16 mile RT commute includes a mile long 15% to 18% hill (James st in Kent) and a couple of short hills close to 20% , I was having trouble keeping the OE axle nuts tight with those climbs and descents, and the nut threads were degrading. I've had the same issue on other bikes with IGH...

Great! Glad it was simple. Mechanical disc brakes are a fantastic value, eminently functional, simple, and reliable, but they do require a bit of extra care and attention.

Are you sure the disc isn't slightly warped? A well adjusted brake leaves very little margin for error in the disc.

Wetting the rim and tire with soapy water will help too.

Flat bars simply don't work for me. I changed to a Soma Sparrow bar with Ergon GP1 grips, and I no longer have issues.

Did you go with 13G or 12G? What size are you going to drill your rim, or did you get reducer nipples?

Yes, they just reprogram it, only takes a few minutes. Contact them ahead of time if you want to do it on a Saturday.

Next project will be TRP HY/RD cable actuated hydraulic brakes. By all accounts they provide the power, control, and self adjusting benefits of full hydraulic brakes without the need to replace the OE brake levers. Installation looks to be as simple as adjusting the mechanical brakes. A real...
