I never got that one, other than maybe some don't have the hand strength to pull the lever completely from the hood position, which I guess takes a bit more muscle.
It's not "hand strength," it's more like "finger strength." From the hoods you really don't get to use your more powerful hand muscles.
I have non-aero on both my current drop setups and have never had an issue with braking from the hoods. The brake doesn't know where your hand is, so as long as you can comfortably apply the full braking motion, there should be no difference in stopping power. Just step up your iron fist kung fu training a bit and you should be fine.
I'm not even sure how you'd go about trying to strengthen those muscles. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
