ya...that....Trail braking is continuing to use the brakes after you have entered a corner/turn. The ideal is that all braking is done before the bike begins to turn, thus all of the tire traction can be used for cornering grip, and not lost to braking. When you stay on the brakes through the turn, not completing braking before the turn is initiated, that is trail braking - and can be done with either brake, though is probably a lot safer with the rear. Applying the brakes mid corner is not trail braking either - it is only the CONTINUED braking into a corner that is trail braking.the backs are great for settling her down(trail brakin')
By settleing her down, I assume you are talking of reducing front end dive on hard braking. This is a good thing if you are very aggressive on the brakes, as a little bit of rear brake before the application of the front can prevent significant dive leaving the bike better balanced for a corner.
