Hey, speaking of which... I was just thinking about this
very thing yesterday... Many Daks have rear wheel ABS, but no front
wheel ABS. Seeing as how the fronts do most of the stopping, should
a constant pressure be applied to the brake so as to operate the
rear ABS properly, or should the old fashioned "pump" method be
used to operate the fronts properly???? Seems like no matter
which method you use, you're doing it wrong?? :-)
