Re: [ST] Rear brake

["Cameron" <camckay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I ride in the San Gabriel Mountains here in So Cal and I use my rear brake
about 70% more than my front.  I do this to prevent the front from standing
me up going into the tight twisties up there.  By using the back brake more
than the front, I can go into the corners much faster and harder, keep the
RPM's way up and accelerate harder and quicker out of the corners.  My rear
brake performs great for me, I do have to press pretty hard but there is
still a lot left in the rear and everything left in the front, just in case.
