My rear mid-fender attachment bracket snapped. Does anyone know how to unplug the brake light cable mounted to rear fender? Also I suggest adding a rubber washer to the bolt holding rear fender to frame. This may help to lessen stress at this connection.

Keep your chain and derailer in good shape. Get  " The Grunge Brush"  online. Its shaped to clean chain and parts.  From a bike shop get a de-greaser and chain lube.  Keeping the chain clean will help shifting stay smooth and chain/derailer last longer.

The free online service Trailforks is great. Maps are color coded for difficulty. Clicking on a trail opens a the trail profile window so you can check the trail grades at any location. With a heavy Rad bike knowing the grades ahead of time is key. If you enjoy the service donate some $$ or join the pay service its cheep like $1.25 a month. Its nation wide but free service only covers the 40 miles of so near you.
