why would you need a rear brake ? its a fixed gear you are riding.
As long as you wont slam the front brake whilst at your top speed, front brake is safe and enough. No need for rear imo.
I rarely touch my rear brake when riding fixed in London. But in the Marches where I spend most of my time, it is a blessing.
It's easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy to write on a forum how simple it is to stop a fixed-gear safely and quickly from 35mph on a steep descent while spinning at 160+.
Doing it is rather more difficult.
