I always thought with the british set up, turing across traffic, while negotiating a roundabout or even moving form the left hand side of the lane to the middle to make a right turn, the rider has more control with access to the weaker rear brake.
if you were turning right and had the front brake on the left and needed to stop while indicating, the power would turn your bars and cause a swerve action??
when turning left not so much an issue.... american set up is opposite due to driving on the other side of the road...
i got this idea from the fact most aussies do rear brake bmx set ups cause of this, right hand free at all time for signaling purpose, if ya ran a right hand brake and had to get to the right hand side of the road, be an issue stopping and signaling...
Stupdi question, but...
if you're riding fixed, why are you slowing down with your brake to turn a corner?
