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!

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

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:
