That's a high side waiting to happen. It's one thing to use the rear brake right as your entering a corner to lift some of the weight of the front end, but to use it in a corner, just isnt too practical. When people talk about trail braking it doesnt mean use your rear brake. Trail braking is appying slight pressure on the front brake while in the corner.

Does it affect you that much that some random guy 1500 miles away went and paid his own money for a 1000?
Do we really have to fight over who uses the back brake or not?
Do you have to argue over stupid pointless shit on the Internet?
