i want to talk about more advanced braking technique... things you can do to get more out of the front brake at max pull... right now with my current BP habits and my bike setup, the rear will lift up before i lose traction on track. but i've seen other people brake harder. what am i doing wrong? bp is butt back, knees into tank sides. bike setup is wonky, setup for corners. front lowered about an inch and the rear is raised an inch. wondering if this is the reason? maybe i should lower both sides half an inch? its got plenty of clearance. it doesn't seem to matter if i brake body up or body down, and side to side doesn't seem to change anything until after the braking is done. obviously the brakes themselves are doing fine as well as the front tire... what am i doing wrong? how come people can out brake me? maybe its a weight thing? but i feel like there should be a way to compensate? should i just lower the rear? maybe higher rebound damping on the rear shock would help?
