Re: The best way
cheers man im gonna try that this weekend. im struggling to do clutch and break cus i lost the top of my middle finger so using that on the brake at the bottom is hard. cant put much force into pulling the break. this way might make it better for me. so you use the two end fingers for the clutch and the other 2 for break? sorry for keep asking i just wanna get this right.
dont listen to him man hahah
we use our middle finger on the clutch and our pointer on our hb only 1 finger on each lever!!!!

Re: The best way
Haven't tried it, so my opinion is fairly worthless.....BUT.....when you're at BP, isn't your brake lever basically pointing to the sky? I'm currently setting mine up, and am trying to make it so when I'm at BP, my brake lever is still "in front" of the bike instead of "on top" of the bike. Just seems akward, like yould be pointing to the sky when your finger is on the brake lever.

Re: The best way
do you just use the middle finger on the clutch then slip the pointer up to the hb or are you always covering both? how hard would it be to learn middle finger on the clutch coming from pointer on clutch now? did you guys start that way or always had hb on top?
