Hi,

Whatever you think the system essentially removes the option of using
the back brake only, not giving the rider that option. Racers don't like it.
That is the safety feature of the system, no back braking only.

The rider can go all front brake on the front lever, or use the rear
lever for both, and use both to modulate front to rear braking.

I have no idea as to what options the rider has you
are implying they have under different conditions.

rgds, sreten.
