Which does more to make your earlier overkill remark even more odd than it does to make you look superhuman. If you've been riding motorcycles and downhill MTB (neither of which i could claim to have ever done,) then common sense says that you should know a thing or two about modulating your braking. The size of the wheels has nothing to do with it.

Well, neither have many of us. Again, that says a whole lot more about the skill of the rider than it does about the quality of the brakes.

I rest your case.
