i had this happen to me with regular shoe brakes and I was using front and rear brakes, but I went right over the handlebars, fortunately i landed in fairly soft grass.
@clovis6000 who hasn't ever gone over the handlebars at least once? I just did it a few weeks ago after a very long hiatus from cycling. Just bought the bike and was riding it home and was going pretty fast under a freeway over pass. Accidentally grabbed a handful of the front brake and abruptly went over. Luckily I landed on my hands and feet. The bike was more damaged than I was. Live and learn or in my case I lived, then I forgot, then I had to learn again.
Knew it was north star as soon as I saw it! Great place for biking! I definitely learnt my lesson today about not wearing gloves, came of going to town, my hands are ruined! Gloves have now been bought!
lol, unlike him i upgraded from good rubber rim brakes (which could still do this) to hydralic disc brakes and almost made the same mistake, them things are touchy :)
@xinugm i saw that this comment is unwanted...i don't believe guys that he means the f**k u finger...i think he means that we have to brake with no more than 1 finger with hydr dbs...
hahahah i have a merida bike also with hydraulic brakes ...it brakes like hell .. youre stopped in no time..it saved my life allready a few times so...
LOL. Can't go fast without good brakes. Every time I upgrade my brakes, I find the limit of them and wish for better. What's after Elixir CRs? Saints and Codes? Hmm...
God damn I'm envious of well-working brakes... Just bought a 2001 Giant AC Air. All is good except for the hydro brakes. I have a feeling they haven't been worked on for a few years. Tackling that dilemma tomorrow.
I useds this viudeo to show what the benefits of hydraulic brakes are :P

He pumped up his brakes too much via the forks and that's what caused the sudden malfunction in the discombobulator
