I was riding 50/15 and could skid but always used the brake and controlled with legs. Switched to 48/16, easier to skid but still didn't feel like I had good control.
Swapped to 48/18 this week and I feel a lot more in control of my speed with just my legs and skidding, to the point where I haven't really used my brake at all.
