Jaco Steyn Posted September 11, 2007 Share What is the hubbers opinion on the optimum position for the brake levers? Should they be pointing upwards and look like "bokkie horings", or should they be more level and follow the line of the handlebar? Or is it just a matter of personal preference?

Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted September 11, 2007 Share it should be part of your riding style/position. If you stand up on a climb, i guess that were you will hold onto. So, it should be that angle.popeye2007-09-11 07:53:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted September 11, 2007 Share The top of the hanlebars must be horizontal and then the line must continue on the levers or even a bit up. As long as you are comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted September 11, 2007 Share Hand my setup done last week and this is what I was told... The correct position would be if your hands are on the hoods and your wrist's and arms are straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest colonel Posted September 11, 2007 Share What if you have a wrist probelm then its incorrect, lever position is a personal thing, use whatever you are comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
