The simple act of having a finger or two on the brake lever whenever deceleration is on thereby already having "feel" of brake pressure is going 2 improve my riding safety whenever unforeseen events r possible. Especially on twisties or unfamiliar roads.
I like 2 use rear brake on slow or tight turns leaving the front wheel unstressed and free to steer accurately but having the front pads slightly active won't affect this but will allow for instant, controlled emergency braking. This will allow me 2 go faster into curves than I usually do but with more safety.
