RE: [ST] SS Brake Lines?



For the street, probably not a good thing.  For the track, probably a good thing.

I was taught in race school that over approximate 70MPH you can grab all the front brake possible and not stoppie.  The rationale is that the force (momentum) exceeds the maximum amount of friction created between the pads and the disk.

Don't know if this is absolutely true, however I can say that on the RS125 I been traveling at a high rate of speed and grabbed a fist full without flying.  Usually, on the street, those speeds aren't realized very often if at all.

This means that the effective stroke of the brake lever will be reduced and that you'll achieve maximum pad pressure sooner.  That may or may not be a good thing depending on your perspective.
