The most effective brake is the front brake.
The most effective brake is the front brake.
The front brakes on any vehicle do most of the stopping. When you apply the brakes the weight shifts to the front of the vehicle. For this reason the front brakes are needed more than the rear. Try stopping a vehicle with just the hand brake which applies only the rear brakes.
You should use the front brake on a motorcycle for optimal braking performance and control in most situations, as it provides the majority of the stopping power. However, it is important to also use the rear brake in conjunction with the front brake to maintain stability and prevent skidding.
The advantages of using a front V brake on a bicycle include better stopping power, easier maintenance, and compatibility with most types of bicycles.
If you are going over 10 mph it can start to get very dangerous because most of the stopping force applied to a motorcycle is from the front brake (estimated 70%). The back brake can lock up easily.
No, on most newer cars you also have to press the brake pedal to shift out of Park.
Most cars have 4 brake pads in the front two per side of the car
A bad brake rotor in the front or rear can cause a pulsation in the brake pedal when pressure is applied on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in motion. The brake rotor can be measured with a micrometer to be sure it is within specs and has enough material to be legally resurfaced on a brake lathe. In most cases now rotors are simply replaced with new ones to be cost effective.
The front one.
If the car has disc brakes, uneven wear is a symptom of a poorly performing brake caliper. The piston is not fully retracting, or the caliper is not freely "sliding" on its' pins (bolts). Either defect will allow for constant contact of the brake pad with the rotor, creating advanced wear. If the question concerns why the front brakes wear out sooner, then the answer is physics. 70% of the stopping power comes from the front brakes, the majority of weight is on the front axel, and you are most often stopping forward motion. All these factors create a much quicker rate of wear in your front brakes...which is normal.
No, most of the stopping is performed by the front brakes. But Honda uses a braking system that applies the rear brakes first. For this reason the rear brakes on some Hondas will wear out first.
