Fingers on brake?

CrazyKell · 12-16-2008, 04:31 PM

How many fingers do you use on the front brake?

I've always used all 4 fingers on my front brake.

Some people use 2.

I was taught by a safety instructor that it's better to use 4 because in an emergency you'd probably grab with all 4 anyways so you'll be used to it.

But friends went to a track school and they were taught 2.

So why do you use what you use?

2 and no more. In a panic situation, you're likely to grab a "handful of brake" and EASILY lock up the front if you grab with 4 fingers.

Why do you use only two? (question open to anyone)
