I think it's best to have done all your braking before you swing your foot over for the dismount and put your hand on the top tube. If you need to trim speed at that late moment, it's bad form. Plus, I'm riding in the drop more this year and you just don't brake from the drops after you swing your foot over. I’ve got mine set up moto but I’m thinking about swapping back to conventional.

If you can go both ways, then you can marry my daughter. Doesn’t this depend on which side of the bike you hop on and off of?

I've been able to modulate the front brake fine, and coming in hot you need the braking power anyway. I'll be looking forward to (dis) pulling a Schoening this year - I could hear him hitting the barrier all teh way across the course! :) ‘Non-moto’ (this term is new to me).

Since my Ritchey order has not arrived (fork, headset, compression plug, etc), I might try running the moto method. The first time I forget and pull the right-side brake - and do a faceplant - I'll probably change it back. Doesn’t this depend on which side of the bike you hop on and off of?

I try not to use the brakes either, but when you are ripping down a hill at 30+ coming in HOT into a barrier if you can rock that without brakes, then you rock. my plan is to not bother slowing down into the barriers.
