Question:
Is there a reason/advantage that one would put a back brake (as opposed to a front brake) on a fixed polo bike? Its just something ive noticed quite alot recently and not really understood.
Have been rocking the brakless for ages, but gonna fit a brake in the new year and am curious, is it because you're using undrilled MTB forks, or is it something else. having played/ridden brakless for quite a while the back brake seems a little redundant to me, as surely my legs will get there first/more efficiently?...
