Is that YOU I hear recommending brakes???...lol...lol.

Are your boots finally starting to wear out???...lol.

Brakes are my main concern on my bike, sir. All my headaches start with trying to stop faster. No pun intended.

No really, my builds were all centered around the brakes.

I thought your headaches started trying to stop at all...lol...You forget, I tried your two bikes last year...lol...lol...STOP does not mean Spin Tires On Pavement...lol...lol.

Yep. My brakes werent working good that day. Part of the reason for that trip was to get an idea from your bike on how to improve my brakes.

But I just ordered a big fat tire e-bike with hydraulic disc brakes and they got all the quirks figured out that I don't have time for.

Never said my brakes were the best. Just the most important upgrade in my humble opinion. I still haven't got my brakes figured out to my liking.

I just upgraded my disk brake calipers as well a couple weeks ago myself from the manual cable pull calipers to the new cable pull hydraulic calipers...Quite the improvement...Stop on a dime and get 9 cents change back...lol.

A sturdy, 6-7 speed cruiser bike, mirror, lights, and a dual pull handle for the brakes. That's it.
Those BMX/Mountain bikes are killers to the more aged rider. Cruisers have nice seats.

Does having both brakes go on one handle cause any issues? A few of my buddies that have motorcycles told me that in the wrong situation it will lock up the front tire first.

Wait so does yours have multiple gear for the motor? Or am I reading this wrong?
