Don't drill pls

why not? its only a planet x.

Don't drill.

A hammer & nail are far more accurate.

^ Please don't use a hammer & nail.

Sell the bike, by a frameset that can fit brakes.

maybe if you reply to this thread 200 more times someone will buy it

Why not try the cog change first? 19 is a good shout

If it's his first time riding fixed he should grab a brake and a bigger cog before going brakeless.

Drilling a PX fork should be fine and it's no exactly irreplaceable.

we are suggesting 19 would be a better rear sprocket

clamp on brakes

*These brakes are designed for steel forks, and will not fit over many aluminium or carbon forks.

Yes a smaller gear ratio is far easier to stop on.

I run 48/19 usually.

If you're not comfortable riding brakeless then don't do it, brakes are useful but it's a very personal choice wether or not you run one.

I can't believe people seriously considering riding in LONDON (my friend the cyclist death capital of the world)...without brakes...WTF? Are you that desperate to look 'trendy'...(arrrf I lurve that word....) Yes...TRENDY,....

That you would ride 49/14...brakless...crabon bike...and then moan that it's a cunt to ride...''God...its a bit harsh...and its really stiff to pedal...the fuckers killing my knees''...strange that all the old blokes that have been riding 'fixies' for training for 30 years haven't killed their knees..and I wonder, maybe cause they aren't stopping and starting all the time using the cog as a brake...

Oh ...well...

let's not turn this poor guys thread into a brakless vs the world argument.
