this is VERY common technique and then when you switch to a hydro, if you do the same, you will feel the pedal and handle battling each other over the fluid pressure, unless you run a seperate capiler/resevoir for the handbrake.

I also suggest that your FULL handle movement is about 4 inches from flat to about 45* angle where its so tight you can go past that without Hulking it up. This ensures that you are getting full use without having to have your elbow going past your body backwards.

*If I just pull my cable brake i get the inside wheel to lock... but with the foot break 10% addition, I can get it full locked rear at 100mph.

try it sometime.
cool. im def gonna try this this weekend. but im also gonn atry adjusting that 17mm on the calipers.. hopefully thats the prob.
