this debate is mad, why is it that motorbikes have bigger twin front disks, mountain bikes sometimes have larger front disks, and thousands of fixed gear riders have only front brake? because the front is the dominant brake! you want to stop fast you use the front brake! flipping over the handlebars is just what people do in panic or inexperience.
