comment Watts per wheel on my cyclocross
I don't anybody would be able to tell you that without conducting a lab test. What is "wattage per wheel" anyway? What actual significance does it have?

comment Does riding with suspension locked do any harm long term
@Benzo I don't think brake booster will solve any problems here, they are mostly useful on rear chainstays. Suspension forks are usually very rigid in these areas

comment How can I mitigate the risk of public urination charges on long rides?
No civilisation => nobody to catch you => no problem to mark that tree. I usually find it more problematic to find a toilet in city than an unattended bush in the wild.

comment Do skilled cyclists really “use the front brake alone probably 95% of the time”?
highly disagree with "slightly in advance of the front brake" and the reasoning behind it. If you can feel the rear wheel skidding, you can surely feel that the bike is going upwards and going to tip you over. If you don't feel the bike position, no skidding is going to help you.
