Ok.....so I don't live in San Francisco, but we do have some hills in Wisconsin.
For those of you that have gone through a brake upgrade that sacrificed your rear e brake......how inconvenient is that on the street?

Doesn't leaving her in sixth just about do all you'd want?

Thanks in advance.

If you're gonna leave it in any gear it should be 1st not 6th.

1st and after parked point front wheels so if it does roll it will go into the curb. Or you can get wheel chocks and leave them under the hood.
