Subject: [CR]Brake Reach Difference

My understanding of the front/rear reach difference is that with a longer reach in the rear, it is easier to modulate the brake so as not to lock it up and skid the rear tire.

I guess the idea is that the longer caliper arms are more noodley, (less stopping power).

Wuddya think?
