handbrake set-up

i was just wondering what everyone's left side set-up is (clutch on top or on bottom) and what was your reasoning for setting up that way. i personally have my clutch (ASV) up top and hb below, but i have trouble stalling because my fingers are short and its hard to get around both at the same time.

Clutch on top, cause when the bike is vertical, it puts the brake at the right angle. If the brake was on top, it would be very difficult to get at it, youl'd be stretching your fingers to the sky.....very awkward.

Re: handbrake set-up

i had the clutch on the bottom for a few months and i could work both pretty good...recently just put clutch on top and have trouble workin both together yet...it will come with time im sure....you can get used to either way but like righteous said it makes it awkward to use during spreaders or highchairs when hb is on top
