Huh, that's funny. When I built up my 1x1 I was shipped two front brakes instead of a front and rear. I decided to race anyway that night on a coasting single speed with only a front brake (GASP!!

) Funny thing is I still podiumed (3rd) and probably could have gained 2nd if not 1st had I had a rear since I was scrubing speed off way earlier with only a front brake. I guess I'm still learning what exactly is needed as far as braking goes on trails. Please master of experience enlighten us all.
