it has about that much slack currently so i will just leave it.
so yeah, i got my bike about two or three weeks ago, struck a deal with a fellow lfgss'er to get a front brake from them and due to their personal reasons they were unable to post it straight away and anyway, i waited for a brake for a while then the deal went off after contact and im no longer getting a brake from them, my friend offered my one BUT......
i like cycling it without a brake, it MAKES me learn how to stop rather than being "oh theres a hill, i cant be arsed learning now, i will just go fast and use my brake at the bottom" instead i go as fast as i feel confident then next time, a bit faster and so on an so forth.....
maybe i will not get a brake, just keep it real without one! i realise this might be a stupid idea as its my first fixed gear.....but........ehhhhh.......ehhhhhhhh............you need to get your heart going at least once a day!
