IMO, a lot of half truths here and some bad advice mixed in, no way I would even think of relying on the back to anything apart from get me round a u turn. The front is where the braking force is at any speed over 20ish, the problem here is that you feelthat you have more control when using the back cos you have more options when it goes wrong. However weight is thrown forward if your actually slowing down and then friction is your friend. Exploiting that can only be done on the front wet or dry, the problem is that when it goes wrong, as we all know it goes wrong quick! So if your good, which trust me I ain't, then front all the way. If your like most of us then use the back in proportion to the front according to your level of skill. And remember that there are no rules, just a learning curve that were all on, and always will be on no matter how good we think we are. Having said that, please amend the advice along the lines of 'only use the back in the wet' cos its just plain wrong imho
