...Most of our braking power is from the front.... take care of what takes care of you!
Quit that....

Seriously,... consider this...
In an emergency,.. your reactions work on muscle memory...
Train them to react with maximum braking technique,... by using about 80% front brake... all the time...
It will pay off in an emergency...
Secondly,.. front pads are so much easier to replace,.. if you do majority front brake all the time... It'll save you a lot of work...
PS,.. not meaning to be scoldy... just putting it out there, for everyone to consider...
Especially good for older returning riders to consider...
