Fixed bikes need front and rear brakes!
How many track bikes are drilled for a rear brake! Those clamp on dia compe things are so ugly as well.
No need for dynamo if you are below 11kg iirc.
This is good to know. I might get another dynamo set up for my tourer anyway but preferably when I'm more flush with cash.

They work, however, relatively well and are fast to remove should you also use the bike at the velodome. Solutions for the front-- especially if your fork does not fit into any of the 3 standard types supported by the DiaComp solution-- are generally less flexible and more problematic but required if you use a freewheel..

It's a bit different for road bikes.
No need for dynamo if you are below 11kg iirc. Small battery lights front and rear are enough.
