Ezg_Cannuck Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Just another pointless poll out of curiosity. Personally, I use just one to maximize the grip on the bar.Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeperson45 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I prefer to use one, but need to use two because my brakes arn't that good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinis. Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) With two it's quite hard to do two pedal kicks in a row, so I use one. Edited July 22, 2008 by Reinis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobek Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 would be pretty hard to do trials with 2 braking fingers...as you would lose the ability to get a good grasp on the handle bars to be able to do....any trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Next question is does anyone brake with their middle finger rather than index finger? I discovered that with 4 finger levers on cantis on the 1989 Specialized I bought recently, middle finger braking is better - still frightening how little power cantis have though, but on anything else it doesn't work as well as index finger braking. Does everyone have a big gap between the grips and the brake lever clamp so the lever only just reaches their finger and won't catch your other fingers when it's pulled to the bar?

Ross McArthur Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Anyone who uses two fingers for braking is a freak and has shit brakes.

Z o o !! Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 i use two fingers, because i have two brakes...Lol.I used to use 8 fingers on one break but made my riding style sketchy as so changed to one on each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ti-mig-guy Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) Does everyone have a big gap between the grips and the brake lever clamp so the lever only just reaches their finger and won't catch your other fingers when it's pulled to the bar?Is there another option? If the lever was in next to the grip it would smash my other fingers, when I used my one breaking finger. Suppose a lever could be cut down, but then you would loose the mechanical advantage.And WTF there's like 300 views and 69 votes. You other 230 people don't use fingers? Is it difficult for you to vote? You clicked on this thread, why not participate...? Edited July 22, 2008 by ti-mig-guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
