>>1088815If you're going slow.
If you're going fast and brake quickly then most weight will still be on the front.
Although from experience in Holland, most are really slow on those oma bikes, but I've already been front ended by a Paki once because he had to come to a stop quickly and his rear wheel lost traction.
Faster deceleration = more weight on the front wheel.
If the deceleration is slower the extra weight on the front wheel is much less pronounced.
>>1088816You want most of your mass backwards during those (mtb) descents because if you lock up your front wheel you risk flipping forwards which is more dangerous than losing traction of your rear wheel.
The front wheel still offers more powerful braking but in this case it can be dangerous because flipping over or slipping with the front is more dangerous.
If you honestly believe you can brake as fast with just a rear brake as with your front under normal (road) conditions you're simply retarded.
>no your mass is moving backwards before you even go heavy on the breaks and stays back.And when you brake hard your body still wants to keep moving forwards putting weight on the handle bars/front wheel.
Go to any forum for road cyclists, and tell them you can stop just as fast with your coaster brake as with your front by pulling your ass backwards.
