Fly Bikes announced their new brakes and hangers, and they are finally available for purchase. This brake setup is improved with new brake pads and the hanger system.

For the Fly Bikes brakes, one cable has a fix length, while the other utilizes a knarp for small length adjustments. The hanger is also available, and can be purchased separately. Overall, they are light, made of 6061-T6 CNC machined and weighing in at 0.35 ounces.

The Level City Bike, in connection with Wallpaper was designed by Japanese Shiko Matsuda, who works with Level. Wallpaper wanted the bike to have a clear view of the road, this was achieved by the positioning set for the rider.

For those days when the roads get a bit wet, drum brakes on the front and rear have been added as a effective braking system.

Aiming for a clean look, the Level City Bike brake and gear cables are routed through the frame. Finishing the bike off, two narrower tubes were used instead of a one crossbar, this leaves enough space for a standard briefcase, one that is provided by Brooks.
