BenLeacock™ Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 which ever feels better for you ? I use one because ive got quite big hands and it feels nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgnoseat Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 which ever feels better for you ?No not really, one finger really is a must because you need your other fingers to have enough grip during moves like front to backs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibi123 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) No not really, one finger really is a must because you need your other fingers to have enough grip during moves like front to backsI can pedal kick and pull up comfortabley with two fingers on my rear brake but i can not pull up wiht two fingers on the front brake, is this a problem. I aslo can not pedal kick with two fingers on each on the brake leavers i can only do it wiht with no fingers on the front or front fully pulled back.

ManxTrialSpaz Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Seriously, just use one finger. You'll get used to it and it'll work better in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Trials Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 I used to use 2, Then i went to 1 and found the brake didnt hold as good and went back, now i use one and its not the brake than was bad it was my technique, so i like using 1 now.Ash~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 if youve got your brakes set up properly you wont need more than one finger to give you the control over them. and with one finger braking youve got more hold on to the bars giving you more control for moves. make sure your brakes are set up as best as possible, play with bite points and lever position to suit you best and just ride with it, you'll get used to it soon enough.
