  • You're wrong, and you're so stupid it's barely worth arguing. Wheel locking is only the limit when nothing else constrains the maximum deceleration. On a solo bicycle, the high centre of gravity and short wheelbase means that the thing will tip before it slides. Feel free to keep braking on dry Delugrip well past the point where tipping commences in your search for the slide which you seem so sure will be the limit, the resulting endo and face plant is unlikely to reduce your IQ any further.

    The only constraint is the fact you are riding a bike with a high centre of gravity. If you road a bike with a low centre of gravity and longer wheelbase then it would remove the constraint and you would be at the wheel locking point as the limit.
    Are you saying that the shortest braking distance on a bicycle is on race style road bike with caliper brake and 23c tyre?

    And no need to start with the stupid and low IQ comments please, they are beneath you. And for the record my IQ is 143 which is fairly good thank you.
    You are not the only person on the forum with any form of intellect, however much you think you are :-)
