Which brake do you tend to use more of?
I use my front brake more than my rear.

Front.
Your front brakes are about 70% of your stopping power.

that may be true but while you are racing you should never stop. Just slow your self or set yourself up for turns. almost all rear!

Ya good point
i rarely touch the back unless the turn is completely flat, most of the time im on the front brakes before i land if its a jump into a corner
i only use the rear brakes for emergency situations

true. also bikes with high compression slow themselves down pretty well when you get off the throttle

I would tend to think if you're not using the front more so, you really don't know how to slow your machine properly then:cool:
