Hi there,
Happy owner of a RadCity 5 Plus stepthrough. Nice bike. One thing though, the hydraulic brakes are noisy! When the brakes are applied, a gentle grinding noise, I think of the metallic brakepads against the rotor. I checked to make sure the brake pads were not missing, or had shipping pads on them or some crazy thing—all looks well. And the rotors are smooth, you can't catch a fingernail across them, so they are not wearing extra fast or anything. They are just very noisy compared to any other disc brake bike I've ridden (just three or four).
Anyone else find this to be the case? Does it lessen with time? About 60 miles on my bike so far, over hilly terrain, so lots of brake use.
