How many fingers do you squeeze with?

[TOTO]

I was riding a minute ago when I became conchious that I always squeeze the brake lever with only 2 fingers - index and middle.


How about the rest of you ? - here is a Poll.

Some prefer the whole fist.......

[megageoff76]

I only need two, but go for the whole lot in emergency situations.

[LilSel]

[RC1]

index and middle usually

[banditrider]

Always have 2 fingers covering the brake lever - and they're the same 2 I use to swing on the anchors.

One but then my ridin is all off road.

[nodrog:Me]

Kornholio will not be happy you have left the option for 6 fingers out!

Wheres the option for "to busy riding to notice" back in the late 80s i remember talking to some fuck head in Kaikoura during a ride north,this guy was adamant it should be done a certain way because he saw the bike journos from Two Wheels did it that way.personally i think use as many as you like as long as it works.

I use three .. I have little hands so I need all the pulling power I can get .. I find my pinkie doesn't really reach though

[alanzs]

I always ride with my right middle finger on the brake lever. When I need to brake I use two and at times, for added stopping power, four.
My left hand doesn't do much in the way of breaking....

[Whynot]

I guess it depends if she has been a bad girl or not .....

[Usarka]

braking.



i was taught at a young age not to cover brakes with fingers.

i think i remember a post from the strange one who said the people who covered brakes at the rrrrrrs course were usually slower (please correct me if wrong thy strangeness)........

[Kittyhawk]

my 2 fingers are somwhere else.... nice and warm








......in my glove and sling hahaha
