I'm not a triathlete, but I am a time trialer My question concerns the braking technique you should use in a race where there is a turn around. Assuming a dry road, I wait to brake to the last possible moment. What about the technique for braking. Do I brake only with the front brakes, or both brakes simultaneously? I have been using the latter method, but I'm now wondering if the former method would be better. This thinking is based on articles I've recently read on braking on a road bike where apparently as much as 95% of braking is done with the front brake only. Supposedly it's a much more efficient way to brake. But would this be true for a time trial turn around?
