brake bias

[The Radium King]

thanks folks. what I was looking for. I wonder if anyone has feedback on how the change to blacks on the back affected dynamics. I wonder if pedro had put wider tires on the back he might have avoided the rear lockup issue. I guess the one take home is that the margins are narrow when it comes to futzing w brakes.

I guess I have a decision to make on my rears when I put the new tires on this spring. my concern w a 245/265 ratio is that I don't want to loosen up the rear too much. regardless of what I chose, my next pads will be yellow front/black back and i'll report back on any changes I experience.

A follow-up question for this thread: Has anyone tried running Pagid Yellows front and black rears with the ABS disconnected?

I would like to find a way to run with ABS disconnected at times, but there is way too much inherent front brake bias to make this work. I have tried disconnecting ABS with the same pad compound front and rear, which resulted in immediate front brake locking. I thought about trying to rig up a Tilton Prop valve, but have not tried that yet. Wondering if Yellow front / Black rear would do the trick.

Thanks for any info.
