I think we’re on the same page–DON’T GRAB! But for modulation I find 4 works better than two. One of the things I’ve noticed in training riders is that 2 fingered riders won’t progressively squeeze and bear down on the lever like they should. Switch them to 4 and they’ll progressively squeeze all the way to the stop.
But that’s with rookies! When I play with stoppies with 2 fingers I find I can’t modulate the brake as well as I can with 4…but I’m getting old too…
Bottomline for me is: do what works for you! And don’t Grab, Stab, or Mash the brakes!
