Who runs short brake and long clutch levers? I want to go short on the brake, cuz not much pull is needed. But with the clutch, i need to pull it to the bar and Im afraid my other 2 fingers will get in the way. Any pics? Does it look goofy.

I was just in this position...if it were function only I would have done long clutch/short brake.  I am typically a function first type, but thought it might be too funky.  I went shorty both sides...I'd rather go long on both sides if I really needed the length on the clutch.  Too anal... Tongue  Do your thing though!

I run long/long with bipivot.

For other brands that dont have some sort of crash protection, they will break when you fall unless you get shortys and i dont particularly like the feel of shortys.

I have shorties on both.  I brake with 2 fingers, and clutch with 3...kinda 4 sometimes.  My clutch pinky either rests on the ball of the lever, or is just off the lever... pretending it's on the lever.

I have shorty/long CRGs and I like them like that.  To me it is more of a feel thing.

Another short brake long clutch setup here. I usually 2 finger brake and 3 finger clutch and probably could have gone short on both, but the extra length on the clutch lever is nice when stuck in traffic.

This is some great info. I'm about to buy a new set of levers and was wondering the same thing. I have only ridden with the long stockers and was curious about how people felt with the shorty clutch. Thanks!!

I run shorty pazzo's on both brake and clutch. I personally like the shorty's because i really only use one finger for both braking and for the clutch.

To be honest, you can probably 4 finger the clutch with the shorty.  It is big enough (unless you Chewbacca mitts).  If you ride with handguards in the winter, the shorties make the handguard fitment a lot easier.  I had to modify my clutch handguard, but my brake guard fit perfectly.

I think I am going to switch to long levers, or at least a long clutch lever...I thought a short brake long clutch would look odd, but these looked good.
