when you are riding your bike, do you keep one finger on the clutch and handbrake at the same time (Index=Clutch, Middle=Handbrake)


or...

do you just switch back and forth using only your index to control both...

Re: Simultaneously or Alternate...

I did, then I got tired of having to pull so hard and decided to get a hohey 4 piston bracket. Best choice ever, no more finger fatigue and no need to worry about your hb not being strong enough for off peg coasters.

Re: Simultaneously or Alternate...

hand fatigue = not riding enough.... more seat time = skill + more muscle = no fatigue



And gotta cover both, otherwise you'll stall out anything super slow

I always cover both, even on the freeway

Two caliper setups easier to pull on... do they work any better??

Re: Simultaneously or Alternate...

the HoHey revolution has taken over.......I NEVER get fatigue from riding, and have ridden maybe two times in the last month with tests at school and the baby coming.....but I still got ZERO fatigue riding last weekend with Towliee and JStuntLocke at my spot.

The HoHey 4 piston setup is MONEY! Towliee got to try it and I think he shed a tear or two! haha

Re: Simultaneously or Alternate...

yea I run stock rear brake and cut ezpull lever and nissan master for handbrake. its not the best. brembo and the hohey is way better but I make due cus thats all I can afford right now.

I used to get mad arm pump but the more you ride the longer youcan go.

also drinking lemon juice or eating bananas helps a ton because of the potasium in them. stops arm pump. thats what all the roadracers and motorcross racers do too.
