Heck no! Replace my beloved trike? I'd never hear the end of it when my wife sees the bill!

I was back on the road this morning, with repaired brakes (one new brake cable and a caliper overhaul) a new chain and a freshly lubed derailleur. It rode like a champ again! I'm still going to look into hydraulic brakes though, as I have no desire to do a weekly flush/replacement of the mechanicals I've got now. Brake cables really aren't meant to be removed and rethreaded on a weekly basis!
