Race bikes usually only have a rear brake and bikes for vert/street usually haven't got any brakes at all. Dual brakes is sensible on a bike that sees some utility use, like being ridden on roads, but removing the brake will (to some) make the bike look more "hard core", or "cooler". And, if you haven't got a rotor/gyro, removing the front brake will let you do barspins w/o the brake cable getting tangled up.

Does a 1991 Mazda Protege DX have brake pads or disc brakes?
it either has front disc brakes and rear drum or it has front and rear disc bakes. look for a flat disc in the front and back - those are front and rear disc brakes-they take pads. The drum brakes take shoes.
What makes BMX's different to other BMX's?
That's a pretty muddled question, you might as well ask what makes shoes different from other shoes. BMX bikes can be built for different uses, there are race bikes that are light and have brakes, there are vert/trick bikes that don't have brakes and can take a lot of abuse.
Why are the Front brakes are sliding just replaced back brakes?

Do you need to change all brakes for ABS same time?
Not really unless all your brake bads are badly worn down , since abs compensates for the rate of rotation for each wheel so that you brake straight , keeping in mind that the front brakes take the most load and the back brakes take less so you should replace them in sets (front brakes) & (back brakes)

Do bmx bikes have peddle brake?
I'm sorta confused by what you mean by this, but it hasn't been answered yet so ill try and help. I mean, all bikes can have breaks i think, im kind of thinking you are talking about fixed gears, (single speeds, fixies, etc) which are often seen with no breaks, or sometimes only a front break. the reason for this is that for a fixed gear a back break is redundant. fixed gear riders stop by stopping the forward motion of the bike by pushing backwards. this uses the law of motion that an object in motion must stop before changing direction. thus, by trying to make the bike go backwards, it will stop before it ever does. because a fixed gear can do this, having a back break is just weird. however, you can by all means put a back break on one. i have a motobecane messenger which is fixed/free wheel convertable and it came with a front and back break kit. i have mine fixed, and only the front break on which is all i need for riding around the city. my friend has the same bike and has it on free wheel so he can coast, and its still a road bike, and yes, he has both breaks on. so short answer, yes they can. free wheel road bikes, i recommend a back and front break fixed gear bikes.. you don't really need a back break. i recommend having the front though for emergencies. _____________________________ This person is talking about backbreak bikes. These are breaks that are activated by peddling backwards on your bike. Most childhood bikes had these kinds of breaks. I think they're better than handbreaks because your legs are stronger and give you more breaking power. And, yes, some manufacturers do make backbreak bikes.
