I personally recommend using TWO brakes when you are training on the road.
It doesn't matter if you are going 10 miles per hour or 50 miles per hour.
There are many crazy drivers!
So try to use two brakes.
Also @
carelton is right about the wheel.
It's better to have a modern rim like Velocity Deep V, but it wouldn't make a huge difference.
So buy a cheaper wheel(similar quality wheel) and use that money to buy some cogs and chainring.
Guys,
Thanks for the advice. One other question - which hubs other than Dura Ace have locking threads on both sides? I noticed some flip-flops seem to leave one side for a single-speed freewheel (or at least a cog with no locking).
