I'd keep it on, specifically because it's a suicide hub. Better to have it and not use it, then to need it and not have it. The conventional line of wisdom for a real track wheel is that there is no possilbe way for the cog to unscrew with a lockring so there's no need for a rear brake. This doesn't apply here.
Good point.

Again, good point. Ignore my statements, I'll be on my way.
BTW, I just remembered why I long ago abandoned the fg/ss forum. How many arguments can people engage in over purely hypothetical situations about what is supposed to be the simplest form of bike out there?
(Anyone for a little dose of lube convo?)
