Default Re: Rear brake woes.

Why would you want to concentrate that much on the rear brake? In my little bubble that's just so wrong for street riding.
Only good that can come out of the rear brake is trail-braking, and if you're not God the only place it should be used is on a track. The rear brake is only good for 10-15% of your total braking power.
Front brake training, training, training and some more training, until you can brake it perfectly with just the front, so when you get in a emergency/panic state your automatically/trained response will already be in your hand, in such a state anyone less than a god can only concentrate on 1 thing, and that 1 thing should be your front brake.
Just my £0.50
Not ranting or meant to come out cross/grumpy, just don't want anyone out there to come into harms way if it can be avoided with a bit off training.
