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

Bit busy, but this should do

BSc Theoretical Physics
MSc Computational Physics
PhD “Maximizing braking efficiency of commercial jets with novel systems architectures”
4+ years experience in R&D

Thus,

me>you

You still fail to provide the valid citation requested for your initial claim that fixies are generally stopped by skidding alone. You also have either failed or deemed it not necessary to provide any of your calculations. Thereby I dispute your conjecture.

Your qualifications also fall short of including any demonstrate-able inclusion of probability studies and/or inclusion any possibility of variables. What would be the case if you needed to brake whilst already cornering? What effect does surface conditions take into account. How about friction? Of course you could have got around this by prefacing your conclusions with, “In an ideal world, where all brakes work with little to no friction in the mechanisms, where braking is only ever performed on even surfaces heated to an even temperature of x degrees Celsius and in a line considered straight in relation to the travelling direction of both wheels”. I'm sure your PhD in "braking efficiency of commercial jets..." is very interesting but it's a long way away from bikes and braking efficiency.

Surely as an engineer and a scientist you realise that any proof would be immediately deemed unintelligible and redundant without providing the workings.

As for you>I, what are your basis of opinion in this? You know nothing of my qualifications and studies that I have undertaken. Again this is an example of you making conjecture without the relevant required information to do so. It's the equivalent of me crediting you with any quality of personality when in fact I am not informed enough to do so, although as time is progressing I am certainly being provided evidence to the contrary.

You have failed in making any credible claims and/or proof of you conjecture and as such I recommend that you either provide the information requested or GUAFO (In case you're as ill informed to certain abbreviations, as you are allowable scientific methods, that stands for, "Grow up and fuck off").
