Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Need help with single speed brakes!!!!

Hey guys. I am in the process of converting my 21 speed hybrid into a single speed with a flip flop hub. With non machined deep v wheels, for example retrospect or pure fixed cycle wheels, would brakes work very well on them? Or would it be better to find different wheels (non deep v)? Thanks guys!

No, braking on non-machined wheels will be terrible. Just get the H plusson SL42's and use your current brakes.
