Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

If you did, you'd know this.
lemme know if you need help with that one, it's kinda hard to grasp when you've never ever done it before.

Except for when you are "in a pinch" and do need to brake hard or suddenly. Then of course like on any other bike most of the force will come from the front of will just simply be absent. The fact that you want the front brake for poor traction situations like painted surfaces shows the lack of experience you are constantly accusing me of.

Again, this has already been covered.

So, to recap--
-actually ride fixed
-actually read threads you post in
