Mostly under track conditions.
Unless you have extremely crappy tires, the front brakes and tire alone is more than enough to leverage the bike up. How effective is the rear tire at slowing down the bike when it is already barely touching (if touching at all) the ground under threshold braking? Not very.
In the stoner vid he is using he rear break to make the rear wheel turn slower than the front, making the back of the bike step out a bit on the approach to the corner. This sets the bike up earlier for the exit of the corner by having it pointed to the exit sooner. This only helps in tight corners like small hairpins.
Or in my case I screw up my line by making my back end all fishy.:rofl
Its a very similar principle on the mountain bike. It reminds me of when I was riding last month up in Saratoga when I stopped to talk to a guy and noticed his front brake lever had sheared off. I pointed it out and his response was “Yeah I hit a tree and fell hard, but it’s only the front brake it’s the rear that does most of the stopping” I just shook my head and watched him skid uncontrollably down the next hill. Maybe if he used his front brake he’d be able to avoid trees and broken levers lol.
yeah those videos have nothing to do with improper rear brakes. The first vid the tire was lifted the entire time so the rear brake or lack there of had nothing to do with the endo. The second one was like Gund said, backin it in… downshift+clutch control+rear brake control.
hers is bad rear brake control! lol
I just wanted to clarify that I am not imply using the rear brake causes the endo :rofl nor I don’t know what is “backing it in” and how it is done…
Looks about right to me.
I just wana clarify that i dont understand what the heck your point is here. LOL
