I will and I know Rory has one, I'd recommend one, but I know little about riding downhill breakless. C&F profile is here, so I'll let you judge. You can generally get down on a road bike braking only a couple of times, as it isn't all that steep, but then again you don't want to get pedal strike on fixed either, I think I braked about 3 times when I descended on Sunday. On my gearing I think I maxed at about 30mph.
