Well, a little carnage has sparked the upgrade bug again. I have a selectable rear locker and a cheap line lock style cutting brake that never really impressed me. The big problem is that I had to pump the brakes several times lock the rear, etc. When using it the front brakes still got a some fluid so I was somewhat overpowering them while I did my dig. Now I'm thinking of a "real" cutting brake from polyperformance.
I'm tempted to using a single cutting brake like this because the plumbing is easier and the single handle should fit in the narrow space between my seats.
But I generally try not to let my tendency toward laziness drive my decisions and I'm wondering if I'll regret not install something like this.
I'm pretty much just a trail rider and 90% of the time I do a front dig it's just to impress friends because it's cooler than backing up. The other 10% of the time it's actually useful in making an obstacle. So, is locking one wheel much better than locking two? Is it worth is for a trail guy or will I find myself using both levers almost all the time anyway? I read guys on pirate saying if you only lock one wheel it tends to drag and the dream of driving with three wheels while pivoting on the locked one doesn't really work.
What do you think?
