How many fingers do you squeeze with?

[fireball]

I dont use the brakes

you dont use your bike either

[Meekey_Mouse]

I always cover with my index and middle fingers... It's a habit from racing and I think I react quicker then if I'm not covering it.

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

I agree with you Joilet... My pinky and ring finger won't reach the lever any ways unless I've already pulled it in quite a bit... Which would be in an emergency situation, So I'd use all four because my fingers are rather weak!

sitting here for ages trying to work out where the "5 Fingers" option was... then I realised... not only is my thumb not a finger, but thats kinda whats keeping the grip while the others are a pullin!

Does that mean you dont have a ring on your ring finger?

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

Generally four, but I have found myself using two if I'm doing a lot of gear changing under brakes.

2,3 sometimes 4, so average would be 3

[vifferman]

Many moons ago, I used to use none (0).
Then I migrated to four (4).
However (but!) on my last few bikes, two (2) is sufficient. The last time I decided to use four was bedding in the front pads on the FahrtSturm. After it dumped me on my head, I never did that again.

The End.

(Didja like that story, kiddies? :spudwhat

[swbarnett]

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

What he said.

[faredce]

im sitting at the computer getting funny looks doing imaginary braking lol.
i think i have concluded that i use all four

[steelestring]

I am doing the actions also of down shifting under brakes, and its 2 fingers but i use 3 when hauling up for sure!

[PrincessBandit]

I use 4 when braking, but tend to only use 2 for holding while sitting at lights etc.

How does that equate to me not having a ring on? Do rings make your fingers longer Don't forget the brake lever is on the right side :P and no.. I don't wear rings on my right hand, used to... But then I grew out of the ring I had since I was 8

[_intense_]

Mosty all four, i rekon i get more feel, and its quicker to apply full if all the fingers are allready there? my 2c...

Two fingers here-comes from years of off road riding. Thats what all the gun riders said to do in the mags, so thats the habit I got into!

...Do rings make your fingers longer

Of course it does, see.......
