Yup. It all depends on the amount of bias. I just wanted to point out the
potential if someone dials in too much brake bias.
And in case people don't know, you can "tune" a little less bias by grooving
or removing some of the brake pad.
Please don't do this if you are not comfortable working on your own brakes.
YMMV. Etc.
