For some time, following advice from I cannot remember whom, I have been using mostly the front brake and the rear brake only when necessary. I am a great anticipator so I have had to brake in a true emergency on only two or three occasions in 10 years, over 75k, of road cycling
Now I have just read that both brakes should be used equally except in icy conditions when maximum front wheel traction is desirable and so rear brake only. What is your technique and why?
Can I assume that rim v disc makes no difference?
