i went brakeless because i like how it feels better.i got annoyed by having to have a perfectly trued wheel all the time. it looks way more dialed on bikes. i wanted to cut my flanges but if you cut em with brakes your hand hits your lever. and ya my back rim was getting ugly. alot of reasons haha

i think im getting a gyro soon though

i went brakeless because i got a new brake cable, and i took off my brake lever, and it broke. so i decided that ill ride brakeless until i get money for a new lever.

ive been brakeless ever since.

brakeless feels amazing to me.

im alex, and i like to ride my bike.

Same here.
I also think brakeless brings my confidence up. Because if I had breaks I would have been hit by now. I have to speed across the rode into traffic and if I get scared and hit my brakes I'm pretty much done for.
