Pondero,
While setups are limitless, in general, the higher the bars, the
less stress on the hands. Most use them at saddle height or higher.

riding on trails.

reach on the lever to bring it closer to the bar. This allows me to
have my last 2 fingers on the lever and the other 2 fingers gripping
both sides of the brake lever body, thumb on top of the bar. This
gives a very secure feeling t
