hoping for some opinions so i hope its all right asking here? been thinking about making it better as a commuter style bike so i could go single speed so its easier on my legs and knees, but would braking with 2 brakes instead of 1 brake and my legs be as good? bit worried my brakes would be rubbish in the wet and they oldschool brakes to so they just arnt as powerfull, now with fixed i trust my legs more than my front brake, at the moment my front brake sucks and i only use it to help me slow down, i know a longer lever would probably help with the power though
also thinking bullhorns like nitto rb-018 and crosstop levers
