    I use two fingers for braking.
    Although I've mentioned I have a small hands.

    Btw, seeing a millionaire riding a bike with RST forks is rather funny.
    I wonder what bikes Webber and Kimi have.

    You tried fiddling with the reach adjustment?

    Webber?

    Picture1.png

    Looks like a giant. And rockshox something or the other. (One finger braking pros though, him and his mate..)

    But looks like he also has a cervelo.

    a real pro would have his brakes positioned in such a way that the one finger was working on the end of the lever, not at the pivot.

    bet all of his door handles at home on the ranch are right next to the hinges. what a webbo.

    Or maybe his bars are to narrow to let him put them any further in :roll: :lol:

    is a big jawline required in f1 racing or is it just because of the g-force?
    i tried using 2 fingers on the brakes but didnt feel right so i find using index finger most comfortable tho then i have long fingers supposedly perfect for playing piano, which i dont.
    anyways to op image, what a waste of electricity :lol:

    Yeah, would be much more efficient if they made it more aerodynamic. You would've thought F1 guys would know that. Where's the skin suit.
  • Braking's for bumders!

    There was a video once of Kimi's life, and there was a scene him ringing some
    burly at least 5-6" of travel fullsusser.
    But it's hard to find pictures of him on a bike.
