its a beautiful day when you can git out in it !! lol good lord dude do you have freakishly deformed hands ?double jointed wrists and fingers ?you cant ride with a brake lever like that
i have seen other do that.you cant ride like that and why would you have it in the most painfully non ergonomic position possible anyway ?you cant ride like that ,chow, puewee
are ya daft boy !@!?? where in the fuck did you get the idea for that ? but thank you for making me belly laugh out loud ,when i saw that lever....wait thats it isn't it ? its just as gag huh ?

Ok, xb. I understand what you are saying but after my first ride just minutes ago I gotta say I honestly couldn't even tell. I'll rotate it down a bit to see if I'll feel a difference but for now that felt fine.

Fess up mang... no way that was money. I broke my right wrist a few times and could never even reach that brake LOL

its not it is totally wrong you cant ride like that maybe if you have your elbows real, low ,but you cant ride liked that either
when i say ride i mesan out riding a curfvy road at an agressive pace you gotta have your elbows up
or you gotta ride around a car what pulled out in front of you
having the brake lever like that is UNSAFE man i gotta spell it out ?you have no proper safe qwuick accident avoiding control when on that brake, its got your wrist in a weak condition al;l bent back looking like a girl throwing a ball too

Haha I swear to god that I didn't even notice. However it could have been that I was focusing on sounds and ride considering it was the first ride.

Haha. This is awesome. I believe the excitement to ride was covering up that fact. Either way, bike looks great. Enjoy the riding!
