mistake to say the wheel locks???? The wheel does lock, as in stops spinning......

When I have seen it happen, the wheel has locked....maybe a different thing, but the original post was complaining of it locking up. gp bikes and stuff and latest sports bikes use slipper clutches for this very reason, so the rear doesn't lock up on strong braking and downshifting.

Just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents on blipping, it's exactly like heal toeing in cages, not really needed for everyday riding but essential if you want to go really fast. Like on a bike, if you fail to heal toe on a downshift with a meaty engine you can fully lock the rear wheels and spin yourself out.
I used to healtoe in everyday driving until my foot slipped off the brake (as you have to have your foot between the brake and gas) and i nearly rear ended someone. Now i just do it if i'm out for a country drive ![]() |

The pedal arrangement on most cars makes heal & toeing very difficult if nigh impossible I find - operating three pedals at the same time ain't easy with just two feet but immensely satisfying when it works

I had a rally prepared sierra I could do it with, as it had a set of rally/racing pedals.

its getting abit too technical now....I did say braking and downshifting..in that bit...probably said engine braking caused it earlier tho...

Try a California Suberbike day.
Part of the exercises you had to do before being allowed out on track was blipping whilst braking and rolling your fingers over the throttle and braking with 1 or 2 fingers. |
