Z's Lesson2:Too much rear brake = tire smoke on dry roads

[zleviticus]

LOL

ok folks i was riding home and did something utterly stupid. I was coming to a stop. Applied the front brake, applied the rear brake and hit the throttle Which caused me to do a burnout and lock the rear up... Smoked the tires that is for sure... All i know is I did not have this problem before i started to wear boots. I have got to get control of this brake and the boots.

Doe sanyone else have issue feelign the rear when you are riding boots?

[CorpZ]

what kind of boots are you wearing?

[KatanaO215]

Ive never had any issues with my boots. As a matter of fact, I hate riding without them.


What kinda boots do you have? Mine are very comfortable and I get a good feel for the brake and shifter

[WildKat]

geez Z !! you're having all kinds of issues lately..LOL

I find when riding in my dress boots, to ride to work, I dont have any problems..other than they are little more bulky, but dont really seem to have any issues w/ the rear brake.

Although, if you recently starting riding w/ boots, as opposed to sneakers or just plain work boots, it is a difference that takes alittle getting used too.

tekneks?

It is a sport boot.

dude, put your foot under the brake pedal!!

I've had some issues since I started wearing boots as well, I used to wear steel toed work boots and have started wearing Technic sport boots,shifting is very different since I shift with my toe instead of the steel cap of my old boots. and I've also had a little trouble with the rear brake. The stiffer sole of the riding boot seems to let less feedback through.
I too have locked up the rear....
