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

Think of it this way... when can a fixie with no front brake be a better breaking system than a dual disc systen? I would imagine that there is no time you would rather a fixie with a front over a dual disc. So, the dual disc must be a better braking system, right?

8 Pot Brembo racing calipers with ceramic discs are fucking amazing car brakes. Slightly overkill for a 100 bhp Ford Focus however. I would much rather have the standard brakes because I'd be less likely to be rear-ended by some dozy bint with normal brakes behind. The Brembos stop me quicker, and mechanically, they are the better braking system but you won't see me pining for them to drive around on the road.
