A little help please. As I was going down a hill today, 32mph ( fast for me) with traffic lights at the bottom, the above question came to my mind, especially as the road was a little damp. Kept thinking I should know this before I get into these situations. Should you brake (nearly typed break which could be very apt if I get this wrong) more with the back or front brake or try to keep it even. I was on the drops and had my weight forward. I've got into the habit as I get to the finish of my rides, to do a little circuit near home, which means I do this descent an extra mile and then finish myself off with a nice uphill slog!
