Re: [ST] Rear brake

[Erik Miner <Axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My rear brake does what it should do, help the FRONTS stop the bike. 
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.
