Anything less than 20.2 makes me bash the handlebars and/or stem with my knees.

Eh. Not my type. Fly Mosca comes in that too, but two of my friends already have it.

I wouldnt mind a mosca two, but I dont know if a 20.2 would feel right with me. Same with the 19.8.

It's not too much of a difference... it shouldn't effect you so much.

Looks really good, but as usual, frames with brake mounts might as well not exist :p

I love how most brakeless riders think everybody should be brakeless.

I do too, that's why I always try to make other people do it, but it doesn't seem to work too well... lol

To bad I wont, because I do to many trails.

I used to, but then stopped.

I think so... I might not even try my straight cable and new lever and just go straight to brakeless... it's sooo much fun.

Brakeless is just for people who lack the self-restraint not to grab their levers. =0)

My bike is brakeless. It ruins my shoes and is harder at my skatepark riding brakeless. Nice Frame also.

It also saves like, half a pound.

I've ridden in the same shoes since May and have yet to tear them up from using them to stop. Just control your speed, and when you need to stop, skid the tire because a $20 tire is cheaper than a pair of shoes. Oh, and walk down hills if you need to stop at the bottom.

It makes your bike feel so much nicer and look better, makes tailwhips or barspins easier, and forces you to learn manuals and stuff without using the brakes so you get better at them.

Key words being, if you need to stop at the bottom. Like a particular hill that's right next to a very busy 4-lane street, and I need to stop and cross it to get to the skatepark most of the time.
