Hence the tacoed rear wheels I mentioned before, except they used me as a wall and went highside, of
the handlebars.

I had a set of Speed dials set in the highest leverage position, they could lock both wheels with
one finger, couldn't stop the bike worth a damn. The first time I rode them I tried for about 100ft
to stop on wet grass until I ran out of field and crashed. Locking the wheel is a stupid thing to do
and brakes that allow you to do nothing but lock the wheel are about as useful as a hockey stick in
the spokes.
