[QUOTE="vanguard, post: 38785, member: 172"] 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. [IMG]http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/images/D/d_2395-01.jpg[/IMG] 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. [IMG]http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/images/D/d_2397-01.jpg[/IMG] 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?
