Modify your rear brake (remove pad material, limit brake lever travel, etc.) so that it can't lock up. And don't be misled: The best racers use their rear brakes consistently.
im thinking about having these done by my mechanic.

i dunno what he means by "etc." though but maybe my mechanic knows.

what do you guys think?
