I'm new at ridin, so I have lots of questions. I read on the Sheldon site that the front brake gives you more stopping power, since it bears more of wieght, so I've been trying to make sure I get used to using the front brake lots.

But the thing is, I can use the back brake to lock up the rear wheel, but I can't seem to get the front wheel to lock up. Should I be able to lock up the front wheel, or are my brakes slipping, do you think?

(I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the front suspension absorbing a lot of the forward momentum so . . . um . . .well, that's as far as my physics will take me. )
