Hey everyone!
I've been trying to be more mindful of actually downshifting and rev matching all the way down when coming to a stop instead of just pulling in the clutch lever and coasting, and that led me to thinking.
Would it be easier to lockup your rear tire when in neutral compared to when in gear? My rationale is that if you're in neutral there's nothing trying to rotate the wheel other than your existing momentum, and thus there's less that the brake has to fight with, whereas if you're in gear the engine is still providing some rotational power to the rear wheel and thus the brake has more more force to stop.
