Im putting an engine on my mountain bike, however im getting the sprocket than Andyinchville sells the disc mount, so that means I lose my rear disc brakes, however, I've been riding without back brakes for some time now just to see how its like, and im quite comfortable with it. I am a pretty light rider, so when I had my rear brakes install the bike will continuously skid out on me. So my question here is Do I really need both brakes? I do not normally ride in rain, or anything else, and do not ride very long distances. I just cruise around, and enjoy the sites. Sofar my front brake hold up just fine, I mostly use them anyway. (avid BB7). When I get the engine will will basically rely on compression braking for back braking. I know my limits I will not go 30 mph on a city block, so I will not require much braking. Based on my Dillema do you guys think I still need my back brake, if I do I will need a whole new frame and I just brought this one. So wasting money right there if I do.
