Look dude, 700+ criteriums and riding up and down the 15mph switchbacks
here in the Sierra foothills have taught me plenty about braking. It's
true that more braking force is used on the front wheel but you were
talking about putting none on the rear wheel, which is dumb.

Stay out of my way in the turns.

700+ criteriums?? How many years have you been racing?? That's a bit of
practice to be sure! And you're right. Braking is a dynamic condition..the
amount of traction on either wheel is going to be variable depending on a
number of factors and save for that amazingly fine line where the rear wheel
begins to lift off, the rear wheel does contribute some braking.
