The Ultimate Brakeless/Front/Rear/How many brakes? thread

Then you were riding without your limits. Ride slower, your back brake could not have possibly helped you in this situation.

point is, it's those situation that using both front and rear simulateously usually helped, rather than using says, 90% braking on front, you could lower it to 70% on front and 30% on rear to control your speed, especially since you can able to apply more traction to the rear wheel by moving your body back a bit.
