to support two cut down kitty litter buckets, rotated 90° for light wieght items. Tried the Kryptonite U-locks in them - too heavy.

Replaced the pedals with Diamondback Bigfoot:

My current favorite. Solved Diane's foot cramping issue with the MKS Sylvan pedals - and she no longer wants or needs toe clips. The pins on the pedals are very effective. These are very large pedals. The Diamondback Sound is very similar:

These pedals are a great design, but there are manufacturing quality issues (I have two sets of Bigfoots and one Sound pair) - the worse being the is the high speed over tightening of the lock nut resulting in over rotation of the anti-rotation washer, making it impossible to remove to service the bearings - Any suggestions ???

Added extensions for Diane for a more comfortable riding position (for her): http://www.amazon.com/Origin8-Pro-Pulsion-Compe-Lite-Ends/dp/B002I7PRUQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_nC?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3VCSL7JHZIMHO&colid=UTY71LGEXJUA

The Kenda Kwest tires are proving to be great.

The Avid SD5 brakes are superior.
