Consider this. If you've run brakeless long enough and are used to it past a certain point, I actually believe you are potentially at greater risk if you add a front brake back into the equation. If the habit of stopping entirely with your legs is fully ingrained, having to stop, think, grab for the brake lever and squeeze is going to throw off your reaction time and **** your normal ability to stop quickly and effectively. A front brake for me at this point would only screw up my ability to stop/bail quickly in an emergency stop.

Also - crushkilldstroy - I never realized you were in KC. I'm just east of you in Columbia.
