i'm gonna "fyi" for the entry-level builders...i am completely into the development of safety standards that work...
if you have to choose only one rim-brake, please don't ride, but you're going to anyway (you know it, i know it) so choose the rear and ride smart. imo, the best single-brake ride is coaster.
using the dual-pull made my life so much easier when i had f & r side-pulls, clutch/left, brake/right. NOTE: the dual-pull lever is "all the eggs in one basket" technology...if the lever fails, better find something soft to run into.
without further ado...many experienced 2-wheelers have come to the same conclusion: right-lever/front drum or disc, right-foot/shimano coaster...i keep having this dream of convincing sturmey-archer to produce a rear coaster-drum, easy as pie if they wanna.
there's nothing here about telling you what to do, but what to look forward to...and it's all only-opinion...ride safe & respect the limitations of your vehicle.
