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

lol just wondering if running a back brake on a fg adds any sort of benefit, and if engaging it is dangerous or not. looking for comments based on experience etc not bullshit ramblings

I pulled my front brake while on the rollers last night.

As a qualified scientist I should have been able to calculate the outcome, and not needed to.
As a childish idoit, with a reckless streak. I could'nt resist the instant knowledge.

The wheels slowed, and the momentum of my legs depressed the front tyre very slightly. I started to topple. So I released the brake and started pedaling again.

I had secretly hoped to explode though the living room wall, in a ball of fire, accompanied by a sonic boom.

But alas. Meh.
