One or two fingers?
I am trying to improve my riding, so I a practicing the double blip to get over loges etc. I am finding that if if use two fingers on the clutch then I don't hold the bars at I would like, but if use one my arm gets tired. What do you all do? One or two?

I use two for a positive pull.(complete pull)
|
One I reckon.
:D |
I did a training day with chris birch last year and his advice was to ride with your guns out ... one finger on clutch and one on brake at all times
I still switch to two on the clutch when riding slow very tight rocky sections but I think that will Change the stronger my finger gets |

That would have been a killer clinic. He's always been my favorite extreme rider!

Interesting that you bring this up. I hurt my left index finger in January, and it doesn't bend more than 90 degrees now. I have switched to using my middle finger on the clutch and it has been working surprisingly well because it is a longer finger, so the reach isn't much of a reach, so to speak. You might try it a few times to see what you think.

I use one finger on both clutch and brake and keep that finger touching the levers at all times. Ready to use at any moment. I think a lot of people don't realize how little you have to move the lever to accomplish the job. They over pull the lever, thus using up strength. |
Make sure your lever height is set right as well. You would be surprised how quickly fatigue sets in if they are not right .
