Subject: Pizzi's ABS

   Date: (none)



When I bought Pizzi, I didn't really want the ABS.  One week in and they

saved her front end, and maybe mine, by helping me steer out of an

emergency situation.  I know I couldn't have done it without the ABS,

especially with so little experience in Pizzi.



Someone was complaining about not being able to use the brakes to control

attitude.  Pizzi's ABS only kicks in when the wheels lock up.  Keep the

wheels rolling and you'll never know it is there.



The only weird thing is that it kicks in during light breaking over rough

terrain.  When the wheels lift off the ground as they go over bumps, they

stop spinning and ABS starts to modulate the breaking.  Which I guess is

a good thing, but certainly unexpected.
