crazybond700 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Holding the levers also stops pulling them in too hard in a reaction. If you need to grap them you are probably pulling the brake too hard, instead of nice and dosed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmark1972 Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) I can not imagine riding with more than one finger on the clutch. I have a hard enough time hanging on with the 3 I have left when the **** hits the fan. Clutch grab in as close to the bars as possible helps, as has been said. I find that shorty levers help too to keep the outer fingers from getting smashed. When I started riding single finger was not enjoying life, he was weak and fatigued easily. Now single finger is a bad ass and bows to no man except during longer clutch heavy riding sessions.

jml Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Always have 1 finger on the clutch and most of the time 1 finger on the brake. I sometimes take my finger off the front brake when there is no possibility of it helping, If I'm doing a hill climb or about to jump up onto something the front brake isn't going to help in some cases so I take it off. By the time you need the brake in those situations you can quickly move your finger back onto the lever. To be honest I'm just copying what I see the pro riders doing.
