I love how you had to add the little hairs to the technical balls drawing. 🤣

[@BikingWIthPanda]

i thought they were stink lines

[@binkzera2777]

Claudio Gian Those hairs are necessary, as they reduce friction, so your balls can slide around instead of getting caught up, which causes massive discomfort.

Big props man, I saw the PB video and was impressed at how easily you spoke about it. Adapt and overcome, good luck with the knee op mate.

[@llamacannon1714]

For many, including me, this causes super high stress in the wrist and a lot of pain. For me having them in line with my arm causes me to have the best position.

[@mthe007]

i agree, i had wrist pain in the past because of too flat lever position...but i think it also depends how much you ride very steep terrain where you re more to the back of the bike and you arms will be lower therefore more in line with flat angled levers.

[@trailswithtrevor1509]

Mine are not quite as high, but because of you, they are close to flat and I feel like I’m ripping!! Thank you!

Yoann, thank you so much for this genius insight! Your exhaustive scientific method and research findings have convinced me to angle my brakes 15º higher.

3 ballers, 1 ballers……thanks for breaking this down. I agree with another comment that 3 balls = badassery

[@villimagg]

I think that after watching this video having the brake leavers flat benefits everyone. No matter ball count. I'm definitely gonna try with flat leavers although I'm a 2-baller. Some times with just two balls you still sit on one of them. And I think it's a good advice for gaining better riding position and more confidence. Thanks for the tip!

[@Pillokun]

Hmm, I can only speak form my own and my fellow hobby "comrades" but as an long time bicycle rider and some what of a seasoned trackday/racer motorcycle rider this flat lever topic is more about the angle of your upper body and the angle of your arms. If you sit low with the handle bar high up then having the levers flat mounted is perfect, but if you sit high above the handlebar/clippons the levers need to follow the angle of your arms so that you dont strain your wrist which will result in pain or even nerv issues and naturally armpump after longer sessions. So it all depends on how high you sit, the angle of the body and arms to the handle bar. But I love the balls sticking to the saddle issue, whoa, major issue, why not chop them off. :P
