That gadget that adrian h has got has to be the answer. With some roller time at a friendly test station you must surely be able to produce a test result comparable to iva whatever system you have.

Don't folk use the Sierra's brake valve thingy found on the bulkhead anymore?
I thought it got mounted down in the tunnel at a certain angle to do that "don't lock the arse end up please bit"..

tyre diameter must play a large part in this as the larger diameter is going to lessen the braking effect, also tyre width is going to affect tyre lock out in the rollers. Is it the guys running the smaller tyre diameters that are getting the locking rears?
