Ok, it has now more modern 3spd rear hub, but brake is so good after servicing it that there is no need for more brakes.

I might swap another front fork which has front brake too if I get 36 tooth front chain ring as then I could use it more offroad and there front brake could come handy.

I clocked 49kph with that today to downhill that was not very steep, thing runs really quick, for offroad gearing is too tall even with that 3spd, also rear tire should be better as it was bit slippery on wet mud :P



I did run out of juice from legs really quick on that muddy and soft wet forest path, but it was more fun than I did remembered it being, now I just need to find more paths and preferrably more dry, rear tire is 32-622 it is not really floating on top of anything else than tarmac
