Default Re: Brake adjustments, stick or no stick

I have no hate for the board. I believe in basic physics that the brakes need to have a front bias because of the weight shift dynamics of the Model "A" when braking. That is, the mass of the car shifts forward while braking it. Thus the front wheels will have the higher normal force that increases the frictional force with the roadway, and the normal force on the rear wheels will decrease.
