I'm not sure I want sure that I want to stop and start flipping my back wheel. Last year my chain came off, and my legs turned to stone in the time it took me to put it back on.
Could pack a different fixed set-up or a free-wheel in my rucksack (buses carry these up before hand) for the decent. But I only have a front brake, and my legs will be too jelly-like for braking purposes.
