IIRC the main reason track bikes have no brakes is ironically safety. When you are traveling in a bunch at 60+ km/h you definitely don't want someone locking the brakes in front of you. On road bikes brakes are a necessary evil, but on the track where you can safely stop by gently applying backpressure, they seem like a nuisance.

Makes sense, thanks

Been watching a bunch of your videos lately, good stuff! Listening to this while working is almost like being out on the road myself, with the sound of the wind (it's not too disturbing), drivetrain and tyres on the asphalt 😊

we wont need brakes for where we're going !!!

Was planning on starting riding brakeless bt now this is motivation

Hell yea!!! Love your videos! Go breakless!

Good roads to ride on. I'll stick to my ss freewheel (for city) and 10 speed (for climbing). Whatever works for you tho. I can agree with the simplicity tho. But hey, to each his own right? Ride what makes you happy!

logicaly if you want to go faster. taking off the brake is a must. speed is commitment.

just front brake can be enought for beginner?
