I had Ashima semi-metalic AD0102-SM-S pads installed front and rear. Brake system is Shimano Deore BR-M6000. Pads are not near as grippy as the old. In fact they feel about like the old ones did when they were worn down to the nub. I need to squeeze the brake handles pretty hard to get the bike...

Update, handlebar mirror. Installed--finally. Should help even though it's small--a Zefal "Spin." I also have a helmet mirror. Helpful info on the plastic plugs--thanks. If I sell the bike I'll get new ones and probably new end caps since they're a bit chewed up.

I picked up a Gepida Alboin SLX trekking model. Take a look at their videos, especially the manufacturing process: http://gepida.com/Company/Videos I'm very impressed with the fit and finish and the quality of the components. Their manufacturing facility is second to none, which means highly...

Update--I took the cheap Ventura Wide Wire basket and bolted it to the rack. Required sawing off the brackets on the bottom of the basket. I zip-tied some foam pipe wrap on the rack. A brass hinge was the perfect size for a mending strap on the bottom. Four 3 mm carriage bolts with washers down...

Thanks, lots of options. The Bushwacker bags look light enough, no worries about riding around with then when I don't really need them.

Thanks, I think I'll explore this route. A YouTube project shows how to lash the basket at all contact points with nylon string, with each loop secured by looping it through the last stitch. Takes a long time but would last. Strong zip ties faster. Going to a shop tomorrow and will also ask...

I have Gepida Alboin SLX 10 Trekking bike. Basically I'm looking for a securely mounted, heavy plastic milk crate with a removable mesh top. Dividers inside to secure bottles and smaller items a must, or a way to bungie things. A Gepida rep said they work with Topeak, but the Topeak MTX Basket...

I have a Gepida Alboin SLX 10. I bought it barely used with low miles. I have only minor complaints. It would be nice to have detailed videos on things like the display as well as maintenance items and common upgrades like installing a mirror on the handle bar.The water bottle holder is small...

My wife and I were told that we simply couldn't move to Italy. Too many hurdles. We lived in Uruguay for two years, a low-bar residency country. After getting residency, we got a green light at the Italian Embassy in Montevideo. Long story short, we got a ITALIAN ELECTIVE RESIDENCE VISA, based...

It's insane how beautiful it is here. I found an affordable house up the road from the lake and away from the crowds that gather for festas. It's simply ideal, and so much cheaper than a miserable little place in the States. I feel fortunate. I'm retired and just hanging out here.

I just bought my first pedelec, a Gepida ALBOIN SLX 10 Trekking. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. My only quibble thus far is the water bottle holder is small, and I need a good basket or carrying case for the rear rack. I live in Colico, on the north shore of Lake Como where the Adda river...
