The Ultimate Brakeless/Front/Rear/How many brakes? thread

as in a dual pull calliper break,

4) front break only, on a ss.
6) rear break only, on a ss.
7) front break only, on a fixie.

I did not include single pull calliper breaks as they are pretty rubbish. Thats just a quick calculation I did at work. (I am a Engineer/Physicist)

I am sure there is other opinions out there, but they will most likely be subjective. Not that mine is a gold standard or anything! Just my informed opinion.

I think I'm mostly confused as to why you think a front brake on a 'fixie' is less effective than a front only on a SS. Have you ever ridden a fixed geared bike?
