the logic is simple, if you go over the bars when braking it means you used the front brake wrong. If you used the front brake wrong you’re probably over reliant on the back brake and don’t have the muscle memory for the 0.1% of the time when it actually matters. If you’re over reliant on the back brake take it off. Simple logic, checks out.
Go to a track and test out your emergency stop with both brakes vs just the front brake. If you can stop faster with both brakes, you aren’t using the front brake to its fullest potential and it’s potentially dangerous when sh*t hits the fan. The majority of riders are overly reliant on the back brake. My method of just getting rid of it is controversial but not contrived or ridiculous.
