Short levers, I'm not sure?

I have just fitted Pazzo shorties and I'm not sure I like the clutch lever, I have Alpinestar gloves with the little and ring finger locked together, this make the short lever a little uncomfortable because when in trafic and using four fingers the little finger hangs over the edge of the lever and feels trapped. Has anyone else had this problem and will I get accustomed to the awkward feel?

 

Some run a long clutch and short brake for the traffic reason. I used to do it but now I don't really commute much on my bike. Your problem with the gloves sounds like it would wind me right up!

 

i have asv short levers on mine mate and have the same problem as you, as good as the levers are it took me awhile to get used to them, i use the lever nearer the end now so two fingers hang on the end of the lever which is much better/easier in traffic

 

I had short levers and promptly got shot of them for long ones for those reasons.
I just prefer long ones.

 

i have pazzo shorts , the clutch i never had problem with mine was more the brakes getting used to but im fine now

 

I have trouble with the short clutch lever. I'm going to fit the original clutch lever back on. I do like the short brake lever though.

 

I went for Harris folding levers in the end Carl, the clutch is just a little shorter than std and the brake is around 3/4 std length, they have loads of adjustment and feel real good

 

My Pazz short levers are good stuff, Ive bleed them up and got them on setting 3 on break & setting 4 on clutch. My clutch is hydrolic type tho and flush every 6000 miles

 

Long Pazzo levers,first try with them on today and there terrific... i'm very happy with them.

 

Carl, what did I say to you at the end of last season…….

I fitted ASV short levers, I liked the brake straight away but the clutch is another matter but having only ‘gone round the block’ I was not sure it’s just a case of getting used to it. Interestingly I also have Alpinestar gloves and the same concerns as you. If I can’t get on with it I will either put both OE levers back on or buy a longer ASV clutch lever.

 

I know jolly I bought them off of you

 

Pmsl + 1

 

I like shorties as I am used to using one finger braking and
two finger clutch use.

 

Lads I love short levers have had them
On all of my bikes just waiting for a secondhand
Pair to come up on evil bay or our fourm
So if Any of you out there wants to sell
Get in touch please

 

I got the long ASV levers instead of the short once because of the same problems.............

 

Bought the long Pazzos myself just feel and look better, whether they snap off or not if the bike gets dropped would be the least of my worries.

 

I've got Pazzos and I run a shorty brake lever and a full-sized clutch. I thought this was a better set up for the road.
