Hello Jürgen, > To me the rear brake is very important as a drag brake for long descents > and for all non-emergency stops. I use an old cantilever brake with a > shortened lever and - like Olaf - prefer hard pads. Never had a lock up > or a wipe out so far. My front V-brake only comes into play when quick > reaction is needed. Serge told me that he has no problem either on his bike with the rear brake locking the wheel. May be on my bike the weight distribution is worse, or big apples have worse grip.
