BRAKE SET-UP

In order to be able to brake safely and still be in control, it helps to have a good brake set-up. Ideally you’re looking to keep as many fingers on the bars as possible, and only use one finger on the brake lever. With brakes working as well as they do these days you shouldn’t really need any more fingers on the lever, and that means a stronger grip on the bars. Set your levers up so that your pointing finger rests comfortably on the end of the lever. This way it’s always there if you need it.
