What is different with the new 2020 "streamlined throttle" ?  Any pictures yet ?

I'm still not sure if the brake lights work on the newest controller/display upgrade ?  Do the upgraded displays have USB ports ?

I have bought 4 Red thumb throttle levers from 1859 Northwest and really like them. Gave a few as gifts and they love them too.  I can't see riding without one now.

Check out the M-1 brake install video on Bolton Bikes website.  Boltonbikes.com

The install of the M-1 hydraulic brake units from BOLTON BIKES was really easy since they use the original brake levers, discs and cables. They are smoother since both pads move in instead of only one moving pad on the standard Tektro brake units. They are not stronger since the standard units can lock the wheels pretty easy. These are not necessary but are a nice upgrade.  My bike is quieter when braking and has a little smoother brake action.  Since I am a fool for upgrades I recommend this one.  No real downside except for the $150.00 expense. Also no bleeding or maintenance is needed except for a future pad change and they use easy to get Shimano brake pads.  Bolton bikes has a nice video of the install procedure.

Well I guess we will know how good the brakes are.  Just ordered three sets for two 2019 minis and a new wagon.

I installed two sets of fenders and two rear racks on two new minis.  Front fender is easy, rear needs more work. I had to remove the rear wheels.  I also had to re-tap a few holes in the frame because the screws felt like the heads may twist off if I kept turning. The re-tapping was easy and then the screws went in easy. The fenders and racks work well.  Some of the screws were in tight places, but an overall easy job.
