Just curious... when do you stop making changes?
No lockups, get better/bigger brakes
Now you get a lockup, get bigger tires
No lockups again, get better/bigger brakes
Get lockup again, get bigger tires
No lockups again, get better/bigger brakes
Get lockup again, get bigger tires.
... so, when do you know it's time to stop?
Quoting JDeRyke at aol.com:
> Before changing/upgrading brakes, check what you have: if in a panic stop
> you cannot lock up at least one wheel, your brakes need work. There are a
> variety of things that can be done- all documented in the newsletter
> or on the
> web. Look around.
>
> If you CAN lock up at least one wheel in a panic stop, you need bigger
> tires to take advantage of the brakes you have now. And if its only one wheel
> that locks, these brakes also need work.
> Good luck- J Deryke
