Remember that when maximum braking, all braking power comes from the front wheel (unless the surface is slippery); this is the case because all weight is on the front wheel. If you still have weight on the rear, you're not stopping as fast as you could. You have to be *very* careful with the rear brake when doing maximum braking. | Remember that when maximum braking, all braking power comes from the front wheel (unless the surface is slippery); this is the case because all weight is on the front wheel.
