Today I will be receiving my Retrogression order in the mail.
So tonight I get to put some sahweeeet Nitto bullhorns on my ride and wrap'em with Lizard Skins.
Still haven't decided what to do about my brakes though. I have bar end levers now (front & rear) but I'm itching to remove the back brake. It's a decision that is best made before I wrap the bars, obviously.
Just seems foolish to remove brakes that are already there. I understand not wanting to buy and install rear brakes but if they're already there... It's not really hurting anything and sometimes if I'm in a pinch and my left arm is busy signalling or steering, I can use the rear brake to slow me down a little. Basically I like having the brakes while I learn more about riding fixed. I've only been riding FG for a couple weeks.
Thoughts??
