I ride brakeless and when friends I know ask me about getting into, I always tell them they should definitely throw a brake on for awhile. Even I think having a brake makes sense, but I do also feel that riding brakeless gives you a differnt concept on riding. Its certainly not as practical, but to me makes it funner. This is BF, the general consensus here has always been ride a brake, no need to fight over it more.
I should have stated that this happened back in 1996. When I built my first track bike (non-conversion) & used a chain masterlink.
