My wife has some arthritis in her hands and was struggling with the stock mechanical disk brakes her RadCity. After some reading, I changed out the original brakes for Shimano Deore M6000 Pre-Bled hydraulic brakes. She loves them. It truly gives one finger control even on the hills we ride in the bench areas of Salt Lake City. I liked them so much, I switched the brakes out on my RadCity as well. Very much worth the effort. No problems or regrets.
I'm now looking into changing the freewheel and/or/chainring on my bike. I want to feel more pressure, and a little more speed without spinning so much, in 7th gear when on the flat.

Good luck on the freewheel upgrade! I'd love to hear how it goes for you.
