However just to cover all the bases.... If you avoid the front brake and only use the rear then you are missing out on about 70% of your stopping potential. Learn to use the front. But at the same time learn how to properly use it. We can offer hints for that if needed. Don't let some past front brake mistake keep you away from the maximum stopping power.

Otherwise I just can't see why the back would wear out so much faster than the front. It's not like our weak "engines" can load the tires strongly enough to wear them out with acceleration....
