Re: opinion on thumb brake vs reg

i think the main problem with a thumb brake set up was that its very weak compared to a traditional lever style. becuz its way easier to take my thumb off the grip than another finger i thought about it when I was looking at HBs at first...

oh wait i mean use the damn search button squid

He can ride one but without the power you have with a hand brake I don't think many people would suggest one.

On the handle bar thing, I am a ex dirt bike rider and could not get used to the clip ons bro. Just like thumb brake I guess to each his own.
