I ride fixed with a front brake usually, but I've just swapped my forks over and can't get my brake to sit properly in it (keeps rotating around as though it's not gripping the fork) so I've been riding brakeless for a couple of days, I feel like I can stop ok under normal circumstances (coming up to junctions etc) but luckily I haven't had to do any kind of emergency stop type scenario because I really don't think I could stop anywhere near as fast as I could with a brake. Also, does anyone know what I mean about the brake caliper spinning/ how to stop it?
