Re: Trail braking.
Any way back to trail braking------
Yes I do it A bit.
I dont have the skills to brake hard into a corner like like is required at a "technical" race track but I see it as a required skill to some extent on the road.When a bend tightens you need to lose a bit of extra speed while halfway round,and bikes handle better when the suspension is under load so carrying a bit of brake into a corner will load up the forks to help this.Just being familiar with what your bike does when brakes are applied in a bend can save you from falling off.
