Recovery mode will actually change to Simple only after you perform database backup

>I keep copies of my customers' SQL Database on my computer; not as a back up. I want to reduce the LOG files for these databases to the minimum possible. I just want to be sure that my plan has no potential issues. My plan is as follows:
>1. set recovery mode for each one of these databases to Simple.
>2. issue command

>use [MyDatabase]
>go
>dbcc shrinkfile([MyDatabase_log.ldf],1)

>Anybody sees a potential problem? (as I said, I don't need to recover these databases to any point in the past).
