I get the impression some people are going SSOB (SingleSpeedOneBrake) for 'the look'.
This is stupid (its just my opinion, but I'll stand by it)
If you ride brakeless, without a helmet, and with 1" wide bars TBH I could'nt give a flying feck, as long as its been considered with regards to skill level, conditions, safety etc. I'm willing to bet there are loads of people on here riding safer than me, without the front caliper, pricey helmet etc.. I use. Simply because they are better riders, and know the limitations of themselves and their bike.
I dont care what set-up people ride, as long as they have considered it for the right reasons.
