Hello EBR,
I hope this is the right section. My brother is getting the Raleigh Redux IE as his birthday gift. I was wondering what kind of after-market customization I can do to make the ride more comfortable.
1) Court recommended the BodyFlow on his review, so we will have the shop get that.
2) What about tires? Is it possible to put a thicker tire on this bike? Current size is 27.5x2.0. Any tire recommendations? 99% of the ride would be on the road and sidewalks and some potholes
3) No gears? My brother had an opportunity to ride a bike with nuvinci harmony setup where he didn't have to think about changing gears. He is on the autistic spectrum and the less things he has to focus on while riding, the better for him. What's the possibility of having a setup like that with the Redux IE?
Any and all comments are welcome!
Here are the bike Specs
