@Mr.C
can people please stop lecturing ss riders with fb only. depending on your bike setup 70%-80% of the braking power are at the front anyway, if you get behind the saddle that number is even higher. In a forum where a massive proportion of people ride fixed without brakes this is just ridiculous. its and individual choice depending on the riding s(h)kills and the risks you are willing to take. I agree that not everybody should do this, but seing a pic on a forum doesn't tell you about peoples riding skills
by the way that brake cable doesn't need trimming, it needs a longer outer.
