Thanks to John Beckett for his great "Dissertation."  

 

I have a question about #1: Metering Valves.  I've always heard that you
should proportion the brakes so that the fronts lock up first.  Locking the
rears first can lead to spins, which gets worse as fuel is consumed and the
rear gets lighter (assuming a rear fuel cell).  Is this only for road
racing?

 

Thanks,

 

Matt Ferrari
