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

can you think of a single situation where a fixie with no breaks would be safer than any other breaking system. Think hard now...

Well my tiny non-science brain, didn't have to think very hard.

Rear brake is safer because you can steer out of the way.

So your list -

1) front and rear discs
2) front and rear dual pull
3) front disc
4) front dual pull
5) rear disc
6) rear dual pull
7) front & fixie
8) front & ss
9) no break fixie

Should look like this

1) front and rear discs (on a freewheel bike, offroad)
2) front and rear dual pull
3) front and fixed
4) rear disc
5) rear dual pull
6) no brake fixed
7) front dual pull
8) front disc
9) front + SS

because 7, 8 and 9 don't allow you to avoid, and if people don't know how to avoid, then I would cosnider them to be a novice cyclist. And novice cyclists can't modulate their brakes very well, so they'd also have a tendency to go over the bars (thats why front disc is worse than front dual pull)

And if your gonna talk about disc brakes, you forgot v - brakes...
