Which brakes are the most used. Front or back. Does it depend on what surface your riding on. Or is it up to how the rider rides. I use my front brakes alot more than the rear. Is this the norm. Also doing my first 2 hr endurance, any tips. cheers.

i use my fronts a hell of alot but others use there back on the same track i ride on.. i think it comes down to what ever your happy to grab a load of when things go wrong Very Happy i like to use the front for i feel it pulls me up quicker coz you have all the weight of the bike behind you on the front wheels.. iv got a nice pic of my going into a corner a bit quick and grabing a handfull of brakes and my shocks are nearly bottomed out and tyers are half way from touching the rims and back wheels about 6inchs up in the air..but i didnt come off. but there are other times were i have done it and fliped straight over laughing .. so its up to you Rolls eyes try it and see how ya go Very Happy
