Get front brakes setup before doing the back. On the road only back brakes isnt that bad but ive almost hit a couple of people going fast on dirt roads

Should be fine with reg brakes. Just check the function before sending it every ride and keep an eye on the pads. They will wear out quicker if you’re stopping from high speed often.
