My setup is a hohey dual caliper bracket witha magura 13mm master. Its real easy to pull thats not the problem. The problem is its just uncomfortable to wheelie with one finger on clutch and one finger on handbrake. It doesnt feel like im holding on but im getting better gotta keep practicing thats all.

Just keep at it

as long as your levers are properly spaced, then your hand hurting is a good thing, its working your muscles and making your hand stronger

Stick with it, and DONT quit riding for more then a couple days, and after a while your hand will get use to it

I just got done riding, clutching up SS & RP for a couple hours straight, and I just noticed a sweet calus on my left ring finger,cause I pull the HB with my middle and ring.
