1 or 2 finger??

[lupine128]

the navi 8 pot moto calipers are some of the most awesome brakes i've ever used.
guy i used to race with had a set like 8 years ago i think it was. there still isn't much to touch them now.
if the MTB version is half as good, it's going to revolutionise calipers.

i run Shimano BRm-525 mech disc, pretty cheap in the grand scheme of things and i use one finger for front and one for back. i used to use middle for both, but that gave me some wrist troubles so now i use index and after about 2 months of index finger i can say that its about 10 times better. i can get just as much power out of it, and you have so much more control on your bars, what i used to do with the middle finger when i bunnyhopped or just yanked back i would brake check and land with both wheels stopped (not locked), which is not a good thing

thinking about it, i'd 1 finger ranging to a whole fist depending on what i'm riding, but someone might takeit the wrong way and get offended.

i think that with two fingers you can feel more confident of pulling the lever right in. it all depends on how much play you have in your brakes. me? plenty!

i use 1 finger. the reason for this is because i feel more comfortable with 4 fingers on the grip, compared to 3.
