Posted a couple pictures earlier in the thread of a spot I often ride to. First pic was from 2012, second pic was from 2016, so seemed like we needed a 2020 pic as well. From today:

And we were talking about covering the brake & clutch in another thread a while ago. Paid attention today, and turns out I’m only using one finger on brake and clutch, not two. I tried two fingers for a bit, and it felt awkward and horrible.
One finger is more than plenty to feather the hydraulic clutch on the KTM, and one finger is also plenty to lock up the front brake, at least at singletrack speeds (okay, maybe just my slow singletrack speeds

)
For the fast fire road stuff, yeah then I’d go to two fingers for the front brake for a bit more power. But then I’m not covering the brake, just moving to it when I need to.
