Thanks. That's what I imagined was the case and was just looking for confirmation.
No problem.

If you are riding fixed with no brakes (bad idea wouldn't recommend it) then you could just get another wheel and just don't put a rotor on it. So long as you don't go hydro you will be ok if you accidentally pull the brake lever. However have a brake isn't a bad thing unless you are on a velodrome or completely closed streets where everyone is doing the same thing and won't do something different.
