I like The Offspring too, but I'm not sure what that's got to do with his question.
@bradybrady You realise the two gear ratios you mention have practically identical gear inches? So I doubt you'll notice any difference. Though save your knees, go a little spinnier. Something about 69" I'd recommend.
'No brakes' will make for a more cautious ride, or if not, a fairly short one.
have you tried, initially at least,not using your current brake, you'll feel so much more a part of the bike.
