Been looking at some photos on the net of world-class riders recently, and noticing that a few have zero fingers covering the brakes. The benefits of this are threefold I guess:
1) slightly better control of the bars
2) less hand cramp
3) less tendancy to grab the brakes when you really shouldn't
Anyone here ever take all their fingers off of the brakes? I tried it at Abercarn last weekend and just couldn't make myself do it - I'm quite aware of the fact that I brake into just about every corner/section, I'm sure I could hold it without braking, but I styill find myself always braking.
