Brakes?

well i've never used a uni with brakes but I do steeper stuff on my uni
that a lot of people do with a mountain bike, so I would say ride with
out brakes and you will soon realise that they are not nessesary to be
a good Munier

I also ride many steep hills that I never attempted on my mountain bike.
I'm curious to know how much better it would be with brakes.

I like muni riding without a brake. It's more pure, (and I'm too lazy
to want to fiddle with a brake on my muni). But I also don't ride much
where a brake would be needed for muni. If I did a lot of hill
climbing on dirt roads for exercise I would be wanting a brake. Doing
a 1500 foot decent on a dirt road gets kind of old after the first 300
feet of decent. Fortunately I don't do that much.

I do have a brake on my Coker and love it. I even use it when it's not
necessary just because.

So it depends on where and how you ride. If you're finishing rides
with post ride soreness in the leg muscles due to going downhill then a
brake would be beneficial as long as the terrain is brake friendly.
