Yep. I agree completely. Whether you're going to operate it by hand or
foot, hydraulics are, IMO, superior.

Thanks Wayne. All good suggestions.

Let's see... the missus just got her new bike, we're thinking of
replacing the grips and footpegs this weekend and winter/repair season
is approaching... It's almost as if you wrote this post specifically
for me! <g>

Have a drink on me.

BS#287 here, and the OL is BS#288.
Numbers seem tough to get for some reason. I waited 3-1/2 years for mine,
the missus 2-1/2 years. I think the gent handing out the numbers is
slacking! ;-)
