Something is WRONG with this picture. :skull:
If you were having the rear lock up THAT often, there is something wrong with your riding HABITS; maybe technique too.
When the pavement is wet, slow down and increase your following distance. If you do that correctly, you should not be any more likely to NEED to slide the wheels than you would be on dry pavement.
Yes, you absolutely need to use the front on wet roads.....just not as much or as suddenly.
NO, you should NOT reduce the tire pressure more than 1-2 lbs. below the mfgs. recommendation. Doing so is probably just masking the REAL problem.
P.S. Just a little formatting would make your posts a LOT easier to read !
