Dynamo hubs, belt drive, internal gears… I will get a bike with all these beautiful stuff, but it will be really expensive!
Right now I have a traditional city bike with a basic derailleur by shimano and chain. It works, but I have to do regular maintenance and regulations. And I already bent the derailleur a couple of times, it happens so easily!
What stuff and upgrades you would like on your commuter bikes?
Yeah, hydraulic discs are a game changer, especially coming from rim brakes. You can pretty much ignore adjusting them between changing the pads, and they have so much stopping power.
Only drawbacks I know of are you shouldn’t really store your bike upside down, the fluid can leak and air will get into your calipers making breaking mushy. And I guess roadside repairs could be tougher
