Does your 11E rear skid?

[Grimly]

I don't do it now, because I'm well attuned to it, but in the early days of using the 850s the rear was prone to locking up - frankly, it's over-braked. It only needs a caliper half the size.

These bikes have a rear brake?!?

That raises another topic: use of rear brake vs front.

I use both most of the time, with considerable accent on front.

On wet roads the rear tire may skid if brake is used too sharply, but I still use it.

On ice or snow I use rear more than the front.

If descending a steep incline that has gravel, sand, ruts, mud, or any combination thereof, I rely on the rear
