ahah.. I rarely use it, but i like having it there when riding around some of the jack-ass drivers in this city... You never know what might happen...
Its good to have.

*BTW, haven't posted pics yet, but riding a SURLY now, retired the Pake.

^^yah, my ride to work will be 99% path and just a few blocks of low traffic roadway, otherwise I prob would have considered one.

To be honest, even if thats the case, and you want to bomb the pathways one day or are in an extremely lazy mood but want to ride, a brake will be godly haha..

I'd put one on. If you hit someone and your bike has no brakes, you're f'ed.

yah i just found out myself but apparently the rule is you have to have a brake on your bicycle capable of skidding your tires. i was going to take the brake off my single speed fixie as well and was warned about this.

... really, whats the point of being brakeless on a FG anyways?
To be trendy? Give your head a shake...

Since day 1 of having my FG (4-5 years ago), ive had at least a front brake.

Dont be stupid.

[syeve]

^^Lol...I don't think I am being stupid? I am more comfortable on my bike than walking. I rode down moose packers last night with no back brake...that was stupid.

I am considering getting a back brake though, not because I think I need one, but if I ever hit some pilon on the path I would prob be screwed.

[swak]

Don't put a back brake on.. That's just stupid ona track bike.. You'll kill yourself..

Front brake or no brake.. You have no other option.

My 2009 Devinci Ollie.

Actual pics this time.

[swak]

DH status now hey??

haha...
How is it commuting on that?
Or do you ride the hardtail still?

[ekguy]

I still have my norco for random trail riding where I won't be doing much. Broke my shoulder 5 days after getting the Devinci. Hit a jump, stuck it, then went off the trail a couple inches into tall grass and my bike got swallowed by a huge hole...Probably the hole that got dug to get dirt for the jumps...Completely invisble in 3 foot high grass but whatever, bike is ok, I took 3 weeks to feel somewhat back to normal and now a month and three weeks later I'm almost 75% i'd say.

I wouldn't dare commute or anything with this bike, quite a bit heavier than my 4hun, and with the suspension the way it is it's a bitch to bike uphill...But she's fun when going downhill though. Can't wait to hit C.O.P. next spring.

Nice, I've never ridden COP. We have 3 official parks here. I don't really like them because they are too small and really short but on the p2 im a getting little better in them. The real fun in is the bushes.

I can't wait to see SWAKs pics (**EDIT: starting to wonder if he's not allowed to post pics because he rides for someone). Went to Bow cycle for the first time about 2 months ago and I was really impressed. Parts on racks for components and etc.... Like NAPA for bikes.

What are you talking getting sick of Canmore parks?????
You got the f-'in Nordic Centre!!!
I'd be soooooo damn stoked to have that 10 min away!!!!

But of course i can post pics haha... Not gonna post the pics which look like more of a mug shot (so that means one shitty TT pic), but i'll post my bikes and that when i get home.

[swak]

TT. I know i know, shitty form looks shitty here (approaching a climb though)

shitty pic is shitty
