Brake/skid question

[Knightro2]

A couple of my coworkers and I are discussing something and I don't know the answer and don't want to try it in our parking lot.

For those of you without ABS and might know, if you were going at a decent speed and slammed on the brakes. Would just the front wheels lock up or all 4? I know the rear wheels get less brake power than the front because otherwise your rear wheels would always be locking up.

Only one time of locking up mine, the front was the only ones to lock and the passenger side a little more than the driver's.

I cant find any examples to show but I have read on this forum accounts of people saying they locked the back when e-stopping. Never done it myself.

E-stopping? If you mean using the E-brake, then yes that will definately lock up the rear.

Most likely all 4. The only reason the rear usually kicks out is because of the aformentioned front bias and weight transfer to the front.

i have been on the brakes hard enough to lock up the rear (both), but i dont think ive ever locked up the front. this is why i have no interest in a rear disk conversion.

Emergency stop...you know, smashing the brakes? I was just too lazy to type it.
