Also considering a handlebar bag or basket, that is the most likely of the 3 things to get acted on.
Yeah, I wish the rear brake was a rollerbrake or other hub brake, for consistent performance in wet weather.
Would you have to change the brake lever and cable as well? The rear rollerbrake alone is pretty inexpensive ($30 online, I think), but cables and a new lever could make it a bit too much, especially if I can't get a refund on those parts.
