squid and clutch lever setup

very, very new stunter here and i can already feel the hate from the question im bout to ask.

does the clutch lever setup of the clutch and rear brake being coupled on the left handle replace the rear brake on the right foot or just make another rear brake access point?

also going from the rear brake in stock position to the left handlebar, whats the learning curve like to get used to it? thanks. take it easy on the squid

It gives you the option of using the hand or the foot brake for the rear. 2 bsic cetups are the Full Throttle adapter or Ho Hey dual caliper setup. Both are great setups and you'll hear people swear by both haha

I've never actually tried to stop myself with both at the same time, but I've used my hb with my foot still putting some pressure on the foot brake. It was a weird fealing and I immediatly took my foot off the brake and comtinued useing the hb. I can't confirm whether or not they will still stop you if used at the same time though.
You wont have that problem if you have a dual caliper set up.

Re: squid and clutch lever setup

if you use both at the same time you will be slammed down pretty hard. (single caliper with adapter)

No, but it all depends on what setup you have. The two would just contradict each other if they exist in the same system. The dual caliper setup uses two separate hydraulic systems while the tapping method uses one.

Re: squid and clutch lever setup

on mine using one pressurizes the other, as for using both at the exact same time, i havent tried it. but i do know that if one is held the other wont work because the brake is engaged
