I'm considering brakeless on my main commuter. It's a 46/17 and I have used a brake on it. I'm switching over to a new bigger and more fitting frame that will take all the parts and it's undrilled so I have three options.
Go Brakeless 46/17
Get a new fork and use a brake with 46/17
Change cog to 46/19 and go brakeless
I currently ride brakeless with a 51/19 and that's great. I'm just thinking the 46/17 might make for a more cautious and less enjoyable ride.
Just wondered what people's experiences were and a bit of advice would be great.
thanks
