brakers gonna brake
good debate guys, whilst braking with the front IS more effective, IMO I found myself getting alot more cocky with the brake so i would put myself in the position where i would need to brake harder, and on a couple of occasions, emergency stop. so i came to the decision to to take it off. cliched/hipster answer but i like the connection between the drive train and my legs, i can manage the speed a lot better and i never put myself in a dangerous position UNLESS im feeling adventurous. I welcome grief but...
BRAKERS GONNA BRAKE!
