I can lock the rear if I push hard, and it will slow me down if I'm 
going slowly which is what I'd expect. If I want to STOP I use the 
front brakes, in conjunction with the rear that's what it's for.. Not 
to be rude, and with all due respect but it sounds like you folks 
that complain about the rear need to practice your braking technique.

Sounds like you have an effective rear brake on your ST, Erik-good on yer. I 
can stand on mine, on the other hand, and all the bike does is slow down 
almost imperceptibly. I am nowhere near locking the rear wheel. Reading other 
replies to my plea for info, it seems that some  have a rear brake like 
yours, ie one that works, and others have one like mine, that doesn't. I am 
still wondering about the Scottoiler. Is there anyone out there that runs a 
Scottoiler, who has a good rear brake? Do you have a Scottoiler, Erik? BTW I 
have taken the MSF experienced rider courseX2, and have some idea about what 
a rear brake is supposed to do. Dave Collins, San Diego
