what do you do when you see someone fast appraching in the rear, at the last minute? Ok.... if clear roads, but that makes me extrememly nervous,,,especially if travelling into the sun, and say slowing for a crosswalk. Too many times people have used half their brain and nearly rear ended me. I personally would risk *minute* TO bearing wear to getting rear ended, or even a minor fender bender...in hte case I have to jam the gas to get out of the way of some jerk.
As Les says, brakes are cheap, but so to is a TO bearing job, compares to a totalled car...trying to fish for a gear when some dough head talking on a cel doesn't see you in time;-)
my 2 cents
