Do you use front and rear breaks?
What's the limiting factor in your front chairing?
Are you concerned about bike theft in your area?
Do you lock your bike outside ever/ often?
Are you already using a security bolt to secure the wheels?
Are you cable or U- knocking your wheels if not on security nuts?
I live in South Florida. The only hills we have are bridges to go over the intercoastel or the highway/train tracks. I only skid of I have to. I don't run brakes although I did when I was a messenger. I'm guessing that prime/odd number cogs give more skid patches? I said before I believe I can ride a 50t maybe a 51t. I carry a U lock every where I go.
