I found upgrading the front caliper to the newer dual pivot was a lot better.
The single speed wheel was a big improvement. The 5 speed gears never really worked that smoothly and I found the ratios weird. 1 very very easy gear, 2 The one I used all the time, 3 4 5 angry commuter gears. It made a big difference on the weight which was the main reason I did it.
