I don't make bias changes very often because I never push the car that hard
and deep. On my old Radical you were playing with bias every few laps as the
tires went away--if you didn't you'd be entering turns backwards.

It's not that hard to know you need a change. Whatever turn requires the most
braking is the one you want to adjust for. As you brake for the turn you
should feel the back end get light and "skippy" without any feeling that it's
going to step out. If you get all your braking done in a straight line it's
not so critical, if you're still braking some when you're turning in then you
need to get it right to go fast.

If you don't feel the back end get light then you don't have enough front
bias. If the back end starts to step out and you have to modulate the brakes
to stop it, then you have too much on the front. That's about it.
