[QUOTE="Hogwylde, post: 161865, member: 24357"] [B] the answer to the extra credit question is NO, the forces would NOT cancel, but ADD. think about it. both wheels are turning in the same direction (fwd). if you hit the front brake, it will try to rotate the bike in the fwd direction. the rear wheel is also rotating in the fwd direction and would try to rotate it fwd also. BUT, you do have two different axix of rotation. if you just use the front brake, you will try to rotate around the front axle. if you just use the rear brake, you will try to rotate around the rear axle. if you use both brakes, you will try to rotate around a point somewhere in between. SO, what u end up with is this. just using the front brake will tend to RAISE the rear end. just using the rear brake will tend to LOWER the front end. and using both brakes will tend to rotate the bike evenly from a point in the middle of the two axles.[/b] [/QUOTE]
