Fixie's don't NEED brakes do they?

It's got a basket
A bell that rings
And things to make it look good

The BadBoy had discrete discs, the Peacemaker's spiked spiked bars are
something else - impale to brake?
I need a brake and even if I knew how, I suspect the paths are too
narrow for most speed shedding methods.

It could be a bit of an issue if you wanted to flip said flip-flop hub
unless it's fixed/fixed. SS freehub with no brakes would even dicier than
brakeless fixed.

Just make sure you have the lockring in place when fixed 🙂

I have fixed/fixed but I've never had a lockring on the trackside.
There I drop onto the grass infield/oval to slow down.

You don't do zig-zaggy skids on the track? C'mon, it'd make things
even more exciting!

So much technology, so many awful flat bars.
