Hey Guys,

Been thinking about this a while and wanna throw the idea out there to hear what you guys think and see if you have any advice for this sort of thing.

I bought my bike back in March as a Singlespeed and about a month or two later, converted it to a fixie. It had a surly flip flop so that was easy peasy. I love love love the simple and clean look of a bike without a rear brake. I like my front brake and actually love the way it compliments the bike, but as of now, am riding with no rear brake.

I would love to be able to climb these massive long hills here in Hawaii like this one Hwy that takes you to the other side of the island, and at the top, flip my rear wheel and cruise down without killing my legs. I would just kind of cruise at my own pace but its actually a highway so I'd need to be going at least 30-40 to not be in too much danger.

I want to be able to carry around my rear brake and very very easily pop it on to my bike complete with lever. I've been envisioning this as a really short brake wire (a foot or less) which would somehow quick-snap onto my seatstays (the little bridge area for the rear brake) sort of like those garden hose attachments that you can easily pop on and off of a garden hose.

Also, I want to velcro mount the brake lever to my top tube. Not velcro in the sense of stick it on/stick it off, but more like the sense of velcro shoes or those velcro bike pump things, so that I can wrap it around the top tube and vecro it to stay on.

This way I can sort of use it like the e-brake of a car. Plus, if I am about to totally crash and eat it, passersby will think that I was some crazy dude grabbing my nuts to try and save them. Hah. I kid, I kid.

So with this I would be able to flip my rear wheel really fast, snap my sidepull on to its mount, velcro my lever to the top tube, and bomb the hill.

Aiight so what do you guys think of this idea haha.
