Yes!
Well, mine is. :-)
It is absolutely worth it to let your 'roller stroll at sustained speeds. The steering tends to get even better.
Unfortunately, I slowly get to understand why I can't go skidding on it. The gear ratio is to big for me to go for a decent skid. Or I just still can't for a living. Thus I realise that a speed machine does need a proper front brake.
