All of my riding is early morning, usually about 20 miles, and I'm home by 5:30. This means that for 90% of the year, I'm riding in pitch blackness. I pay a lot of attention to my lighting.

Kevin12 -- I eventually 'solved' the noise issue by just removing the replaceable spring altogether. The bike rides quietly now, and since most of my miles are on fairly smooth roads, I don't really...

m3tal070, so let me get this straight: it's 2019, and you're being chased by a dog. And the dog wins. You've done your best to outrun it, but for whatever reason, you crash. So now you're laying in...

Like the OP, I'm not thrilled when chased by dogs. Most times, I can outrun the dog since I'm past their house by the time they see me and start chasing. For those times when they've caught up with...

Since I have the 2018 Roubaix Sport, and changed out my wheels a few months ago, I'll add a few comments. I'm a 'fitness' rider, which means I'm not particularly concerned with maximizing speed, but...

Your pad looks basically the same as those which came with my 2018 Roubaix Sport, with NON-hydraulic brakes. I wasn't happy with the TRP pads, so switched in Shimano. Much better. I've added a photo...
