brakes.

quite shicked reading this, I've always been told both and always been told using front alone was dangerous cos you could go over handle bars etc.. and that reason just stuck I'm gonna try just front more often as it seems right way to go

If you're going to brake hard enough on the front to go over the handlebars, then the rear wheel is nothing more than an airborne passenger anyway!

Front, at high speed rear braking just results in skidding probably resulting in a collision

Depends which hand i've got the cake in ?

I tend to use the front more than the rear .. unless the roads are a bit greasy then i tend to use both but favour the rear just incase of a slide

It's what you are happy with, not what someone else does, have always used both together but the front goes on a bit firmer than the rear,

What are these brake things you talk of foxy ?

On the road, both together.

On a downhill MTB course, probably more the rear - I'd rather slid the rear wheel which is controllable, than lock up the front which ends up with an off!

Front only 99% of the time.
