Braking

[fazersharp]

I'm going to stick with mostly front and a bit of rear and down a gear or two. It slows you down smoothly, quickly and you're in the right gear and at the right rpm ready to go when it's time. As for gearboxes are most expensive than brake pads, you're on throttle way more than you're on the brakes and on throttle the engine is taking the force of the combustion process so any major wear that happens is going to happen on throttle. I seriously doubt there's a significant amount of wear created by engine breaking compared to on the throttle.

:agree also along with some throttle blip sometimes, clutch in, change down, blip throttle, new gear two fingers on the brake at the same time and a bit of back brake too. (i used to play the drums!)
