Have I posted this before or am I just getting old in the head?
In the summer I almost only use the front brake
In the winter I almost only use the rear brake
(On my geared bike)
The front has the most power of course, but a front wheel skid (caused by winter conditions) is near impossible to recover from.
What gets me is people setting their bikes up, in a way that makes them ride slower. I just plain dont get it.
