Braking: What is your GoTo braking method?
#1
I was off-road today on a slippery track with tree roots, making it a different ride, and I thought about my default braking system. Depending on the terrain, downhill and uphill will be different but on a flat (probably blue track), I am 70% back and 30%front

Back brake first to get to a comfortable speed and then front brake so I don't skid, on my back tyre or my front tyre.

I'm very interested in what other riders do.

What do you do?
