rgds, sreten.
The front brake is your best brake and should be controlled by
by your best hand, to encourage its use and feel. The USA
has it all wrong, but i can see moreorless how they got there.
As I said earlier, the idea is stronger hand should be on the brake less likely to cause a crash. That is the rear. May not make sense, but that is how the convention developed.
