I've always ran brakes up until now when I took them off and decided to order some new ones, I've been riding brakeless for around a month while I waited for my new brakes to come but now that they've came they have just been sitting in my room and I don't even know if I want to run a brake anymore.

If you are enjoying brakeless, I would say stay with your current setup. You can always add them at a later time. I have a bmx bike with brakes and building one without and I feel like the brakeless one will get more usage considering I use to run brakeless when I was younger and got used to not relying on them.
I’d run them if you want to do tricks that require brakes
I put on brakes and a detangler and it’s been great. I almost wanna get a chrome rear wheel.
All personal choice but change those pads out if you wanna do fufanus.
Why are you asking us? Do whatever you want.
Imo no brakes is better and promotes bike control but brakes are safer and more fun cuz skids are easier and shi like that. I like no brakes but it’s nice putting them on for like camp trips or shi where ur gonna wanna brake
If you ride around in the streets alot or want to do tricks like stalls and stuff with more precision or other tricks that call for brakes I’d do it. Springfields are great brakes to put on especially if you’re like me and you don’t wanna worry about having to adjust brakes and stuff or take them on and off every time you remove your back wheel, the Springfields are the way to go. You don’t have to adjust tension or anything the spring does it by itself you can literally just put them on and forget about them. I run 2.25 tires and I can pull my back wheel out right through the brake pads without removing the brake arms it’s pretty nice. I hate other brake sets cause it’s just a hassle most the time
