Never have I heard of a front wheel making it past the 'Lawyer Lips', but the article makes a good point about safety. Why not also have the standard rim brakes also? Cosmetics over safety? Bill Baka Not that it means anything but I have seen bikes with a disc in front and a rim brake in the rear, probably didn't come that way from the factory though. Very common on Walmart bikes. |

What is relevant is that the back brake is not adequate on a steep dirt downhill. This is of a weight distribution problem, not a brake problem. Chris |

Front wheel cars are a total waste in a stoplight drag race for the sane reason. I do use the back break when I can so that the front will be fresh when I do hit the steep parts. The front break comes in just before the rear starts to skid. Bill Baka |
