Metal ceramic, they trade off being noisier and having less breaking power for longer life. Resin/organic pads wear quicker, but the discs will last longer, if that matters since discs are only a few dollars more than pads. Resin only http://www.jensonusa.com/Shimano-SM-RT56-6-BOLT-Rotor all...

Shimano resin pads are a lot quieter and are cheap. http://www.jensonusa.com/Shimano-B01S-Resin-Disc-Brake-Pad-Resin They do wear quicker than sintered pads but provide more braking power and a more progressive feel.

Stupid expensive, but frame mounted racks carry more weight and don't mess up the bikes handling like bar mounted bags and baskets. https://yubabikes.com/product-tag/front-rack A much cheaper option, https://www.dutchbikebits.com/luggage-racks-and-accessories/steco-headtube-mounting-rack

For a a huge selection of quality bags in a wide variety of sizes,, and my primary source for bike stuff, https://en.hollandbikeshop.com/bicycle-bags/double-panniers/ Make sure to select USD, and United States as destination to get price without the 19% VAT tax. Prices are so much lower for many...

I forgot they offered optional chainrings. Sounds like a http://www.schlumpfdrive.com/ is what you might prefer. Expensive 3x the price, but a far greater range of choices, and the heel shifting rather than a cabled shifter is awesome.

I'm waiting on a Sunrace 11-34 cassette. Eventually I want to replace the crankset with a Patterson metropolis https://www.pattersonbike.com/patterson-transmission-crankset/ which will give it a greater range of gears top and bottom.

I'm south east of Seattle in the foothills of the Cascade range, and commute down into the Kent valley, 14 miles round trip with a gain in elevation of a little over 1000'. One hill is a mile long at a 15% grade, another is a couple of blocks at a 18% grade. It takes some effort on those hills...

I just replaced the stock Kendas with Schwalbe Big Ben plus tires, and they are superior in every way. The ability to run them at lower pressure than the stock tire they are a significant improvement in comfort, they roll faster and smoother with a slightly smaller circumference which has...

I went through the same thought process myself, I ended up getting the Radwagon for its additional versatility. Its a shorter than average cargo bikes so its ride quality feels "normal". The primary reasons to choose the city over the wagon would be if one doesn't need substantial carrying...

That's encouraging, all but a few high power lights for bicycles I've seen are garbage, throwing an unacceptable amount of light above its horizontal plane so that it blinds oncoming road users, and/or puts a far too intense pool of light on the ground up close to the bike which destroys ones...

Will the final product have a horizontal cutoff suitable for use on public roads?

Metro buses often visit community festivals and other events around the county to give information to the public about using transit. Feel free to ask the driver if you can try the rack while the bus is parked. Several free-standing demo racks travel to public events and employer or campus...

Something to keep in mind is that those lights are simple flood lights for off road use rather than properly engineered headlights, and as such can totally overwhelm the vision of others if not used with careful consideration. I had a very close call when totally blinded by the intense glare of...

Chances are if Rad operates like many on line sellers, they never actually have the bikes in their possession, but rather they are shipped from a 3rd party product distribution center staffed by temps who simply slap on a shipping label and hand it over to a carrier. I've been in the...

Will be picking up a Radwagon in 2 weeks. after long consideration of all the options available. Seems like an excellent value within my budget, and a local company to boot. It will be my primary transportation for my 14 mile, 1000+ foot elevation gain commute. I've been doing it for years on my...

I used pinned platform pedals for a while as good grip is essential in the wet, hilly environment I ride in, but they were causing too much damage to my foot wear, especially my expensive LL bean boots. I now use Shimano M324 campus pedals (bear trap on one side, SPD on the other) or Ergon...

I have the 100 lux dyno version of the IQ-X on my trekking bike, its an outstanding light. One not on your list Herrmans H-one-E, https://www.amazon.com/Herrmans-H-one-E-E-Bike-Headlight/dp/B016OTJJNO I have the 60 lux dyno version, also a very good light but not as good as the IQ-X. 2...
