@@MicromobilityIndustries yep, it was my most ambitious bit of mechanical work so far… but there was a good kit online and I feel quite a bit safer now.
That's awesome! I remember my first brake upgrade. Did it on a schwinn MTB that had a good frame, but everything else was low-rent. I changed everything out on it, except the handlebars and the frame. I also got a kit online and it wasn't quite as bad as I anticipated :P
The mechanical brakes are just a total deal-breaker on this model, which I own. Hydraulic is required imo.
If it was gonna be my Longterm ride, it’d be the first thing I’d update. Did you upgrade yours?
