Re: quality.
If you're going to bikefix, I'm pretty sure they don't sell the Velosteel ones anymore.
So keep that in mind when reading others comments.
As for brakinng etc, mine was ok - it depends what gear you're planning on running, how fast you plan on going etc. If you have the ability to use a front brake, I would.
There's a time delay as you peddal back and I found I skidded quite easily if I do it fast and hard. (running 28 Pasela Panaracers)
