Technical Traction Control Braking skulle efter sigende være noget der virker ala abs, eller skulle ihvertflad fjerne evt blokering ved mindre panic bremsninger!

What is Traction Control Braking (TCB)?
Traction Control Braking does exactly what it says:
* TRACTION: The tire to ground traction is referred to as coefficients of friction, the TCB device helps to increase the amount of wheel slip during aggressive braking maneuvers by using different amounts of traction.
* CONTROL: During aggressive braking maneuvers or “panic” stops, the area of the tire that is actually on the ground is less than the size of postcard on any given tire, so this small area is where you are getting traction. The TCB allows the tire to rotate during these aggressive maneuvers and the driver experiences more control of the vehicle because more than a small area of the tire’s surface is used. Without any form of Anti-Lock or TCB the wheel is more likely to lock, resulting in skidding out of control.
* BRAKING: Electronic forms of anti-lock braking work only at certain speeds by quickly locking and releasing, but it needs to be emphasized that ABS still lets your wheels lock. When your wheels lock at high speeds or on less than perfect road conditions (such as gravel, wet roads, etc) this can lead to loosing control.
The TCB unit on the other hand works every time you brake and at any speed to help avoid the wheels from locking. Once installed, the TCB becomes an integral part of the brake system it has been applied to.
How does the TCB work?
Normal hydraulic brakes use brake fluid to activate the pistons inside the brake calipers to clamp the outer surfaces of the brake rotor. This clamping effect is normally done without “give”/compressibility, so the harder a rider uses the brakes, the more likely the brake caliper will find a location to lock and seize rotation of the wheel.
Professional drivers use a technique of “modulating”/“feathering” where they release pressure on the brake levers when they feel the wheels starting to lock. The TCB does this modulating/feathering technique automatically by introducing a degree of give/compressibility to the brake system. The give/compressibility factor inside the brake system with the TCB allows a degree of the same type of float and drag effect to help prevent wheel lock.
The TCB introduces the give/compressibility factor to the brake system in the form of an accumulator. This type of accumulator uses a patented design that allows an air over hydraulic technique to dampen high levels of pressure spikes by tuning them into pressure waves. The compressibility factors introduced by the TCB are done by separating a pressure chamber and brake fluid with special elastomer/rubber diaphragm. This allows the dampening effect and gives your brake system the give/compressibility factor to occur without allowing air to mix with the brake fluid.
Since 70% of the driver and vehicle’s weight is transferred to the front during braking you will get the most traction control buy installing the unit on the front. By putting a TCB unit on the rear as well it will increase your braking control. Since there is less weight on the rear wheel the rear wheel will normally locks easier, so by having a TCB unit on the back wheel it will help avoid premature wheel lock. A major benefit by having one on the rear is that it will allow you utilize BOTH the front and back brakes with confidence.

Så det kunne være interessant at høre hvad folk syntes
(Hvis der er nogen herinde der har prøvet det / har det)

Og folk siger at man ikke kan / har råd (ved ikke hvilken) til at få sat abs på sin egen cykel :- /
(ja ja, rigtige mc´lister kører uden, men jeg er ikke en rigtig mc´list)
Er røget ned 2 gange i løbet af 3 måneder, den ene fordi jeg blokeret og den anden (måske) fordi jeg blokeret (er ikke sikker, skete så hurtigt)
aaaaargh!
