Ali C Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 arm pump is where your arms and hands go numb from holding on, you cant pull your brake levers and can barly hold on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 One finger all the way. On a side note, i've never got arm pump from riding trials...I used to get it every day when i was downhilling in the Alps though. It's a b*****d, especially when you're doing 40 MPH/a nice big gap.

rich4130 Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 arm pump is where your arms and hands go numb from holding on, you cant pull your brake levers and can barly hold on. ← Ahhh I get that, then I can't move my fingers for ages.

Endohopper Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 (edited) I'm rather curious about Coppelstereo 's response to this question . No offence meant . That he continues to ride , despite the obvious disadvantage , and has found a smart solution to the problem of brake levers is pretty inspiring . That must take some serious coordination .

Luke Drewery Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 One finger on each brake is the only way to go if you want good control of your bike. If i try to use two then my hand slips ff the grip :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
