Well considered as usual Bill. Another advantage of the hydraulic setup is not needing to order a tandem brake cable and hope it will make it all the way to the caliper. The cable works fine for me, but probably because I don't have a hydraulic setup to compare it to. Ignorance is bliss. I've

Re: [RBW] Problems with Nitto stems and bars?

My wife has a RadCity. It has 26" wheels and more or less resembles a city/hybrid/hardtail. It has a throttle button in addition to pedal assist and also has regenerative braking. It all went together fine and works as advertised, but with about 100 miles on it it's too early to say anything
