Can I just be the boring person in the room and say that if you're in the over 40s club (like myself) then please look after your knees! Mine are a bit fucked for various reasons (mainly a broken leg a few years ago, but also from riding fixed / skidding / big gears / generally thinking I was invincible).
Trust me, it's way way better to stop using a front brake than to have bad knees.
This goes for anyone over 30, really.
