Seriously, your knees start to hurt when you ride brakeless right?
(specifically.. how long have u been ride til it began to hurt, how bad is it now, and what do you do about it)
for those who seem to have flawless knees, how do you guys manage to do so.
I've never had knee issues on any bike. Road, MTB, fixed brakes/brakeless. The only fatigue I have on a brakeless fixie is the back of my thighs, especially if I am riding in a hilly area. I don't have perfect knees either. My left knee is jacked from years of snowboarding and running. Yet I've never had issue on a bike, even a fixie.
