I live in Vancouver, BC and commute 50km a day in rain and snow. The V-brakes setup lasted me for about nine months. Then my Alex Adventurer rim got so thin, it eventually split lengthwise and the tube popped with a very loud bang. Then I started noticing that serious bike commuters do use disk brakes only in our climate.

I notice no difference in speed. It is actually better for my knees. I had been away from the bike, getting my workouts in on the <a href="http://www.jillianmichaelsrip60review.com" rel="nofollow">rip 60</a> because of a knee injury. Going without clips has allowed me some needed lateral movement to prevent sore knees.<br /><br />-Jasonjason reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14856977401633079932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36250316.post-89736408811611336622011-10-28T18:39:55.606-07:002011-10-28T18:39:55.606-07:00My Marin hybrid is always breaking rear wheel spok...My Marin hybrid is always breaking rear wheel spokes, and your article makes me realize I need to invest in a stronger wheel.<br /><br />I've gone a dfferent way with lights, locks etc. but your recommendation for stronger wheels is so right. <br /><br />If you want to visit, my blog address is http://aheroslife@blogspot.comSpencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02540658517057570774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36250316.post-38836162458833125162011-10-20T20:55:51.114-07:002011-10-20T20:55:51.114-07:00I second the Ergon hand grips.

I ride from home to the commuter rail, ride the commuter rail (with the bike), and then ride the rest of the way to work (where, incidentally, the bike fits under my desk). If my bike didn't fold, I wouldn't be able to take it on the train during rush hour, and I'd be pretty stuck on the other end.<br /><br />And as far as components go, I like toe-straps on my pedals...lets me get that extra bit of speed if I'm running late.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13180322956429047153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36250316.post-18316122404831352242011-09-30T14:07:32.643-07:002011-09-30T14:07:32.643-07:00Excellent recommendations!
