• You're still wrong.

    The only time I use a rear brake is if I'm going so fast down a hill that pulling the front brake alone is going to scare the bejesus out of me (for fear of flipping).

    In all other cases the front brake alone is the best thing to do.

    Shit, Sheldon even wrote a whole page on this very topic:

    And says:

    I do remember Sheldon's own word, front brake have more power naturally but it was his other sentence about inexperience cyclists who hasn't got used to a front brake yet is what I'm going for.

    I never says that people should ride with one brake, always with two brakes.

    Secondly, I'm a little worried about your claim of using only the back brake when going downhill really fast, normally it's idea to use both brakes to slow down rather, even if you're not going downhill really fast.

    And bugger off Rob, haven't you got a 3D printer to play with?
