• Singlespeed with one brake...

  in Mechanics & Fixin' • 15 years, 3 months

  

  If you are going to have one brake - its better to have it on the front as a rear brake used on its own will tend to skid when braking hard, whereas a front brake wont. There are two reasons why someone would ride without two brakes.

  1. Sheer ignorance and inability to understand the risk it involves.
     
  2. Has thought things through but is a fashion victim willing to risk lives to follow the latest trend.
     
• Gear ratio effect on stopping/skidding

  Skidding is dangerous and not desirable at any time. Its bad for the tyre as well. On my fixed I have campag record brakes front and rear and I bet when I use them and my legs I can stop a lot quicker than you.

• More stolen bikes :(

  Its a nice feeling if its not the end of the world if your bike gets stolen. But on the other hand why shouldn't we be able to use a nice bike when we feel like it?

  Hi I'm new, spinning a 40 x 17. For me kudos goes to the ones who spin the fastest. Its supposed to be better for your fitness isn't it?
