  • then don't go brakeless, it's that simple.

    If I were you thought, I'd just put a front brake, leave it at that, and then learn to master skid (rear brake is useless on fixed, so either swap it over or removed it)

    If you have a brake, why would you want to remove it? Brakes are cheap yet incredibly powerful tools, Ive never had any problem pedal braking but Ive run 1 brake or nobrake setups out of desperation, now that I have two brakes I use them.

    Skidding a rear wheel is not a good way to stop a bike.

    If your run clipless especially, its true that youll never feel the need to use a rear brake. Still no harm in leaving it on if you have it, could save your face in a chain snap situation.
