I have the brake mounted and set up correctly, I’m not stupid enough to not have it
but i have never had to use it luckily i have never had a serious accident
i can see what people are saying about emergency stops
i did have a bmx when i was about 10 and the brakes where shite
i had to chuck the back out and lean inwards and do a sort of speedway slide and go on the pavement to avoid hitting a car it scared the shite out of me and i didn’t go on my bike for about a week
