No one touched on it in the replies, but for the uninitiated, brakes usually work far better when you're moving forward than when moving backward. So they may normally work OK, but won't stop you if you're backing down a slope. I had to do a "power shift" into first on my Oliver 550 last summer when I was hogging backwards down a hill, and the "stop" pedal didn't stop me. A scary moment, although I probably wouldn't have rolled- just wiped out the neighbor's fence, garden and rear bedroom. That would have been especially bad in this case, since this is the neighbor who brings complimentary packages of smoked steelhead and other delights from time to time.
