Another option on the Scorpion FX price list: I can have my brakes and
shifters set up either like this:
"disc brakes MAGURA BIG hydraulic, one lever actuates both front
brakes, rear: Avid V-brake with Velcro-strap as parking brake"
or like this:
"Onehand actuation brake and shifters MAGURA BIG hydraulic disc
brake / DualDrive-drive train with bar end shifter and twist shifter /
parking brake with thumbshifter, right hand or left"
I can't really understand what each option implies. Is it an advantage
to have just one hand doing _all_ the work? If all brakes are actuated
by just one hand, one cannot signal with that hand and brake at the
same time, for example when turning?
By the way, a parking brake is going to be absolutely necessary, as I
will be stopping frequently to rest on steep slopes. Also I will need
to get out of trike on steep slopes to get around gates and bollards,
and I don't want it taking off on its own.
I'm also assuming that, being right-handed, I should have the one-hand
actuation set up for the right hand, if I decide to go that way.
I expect the left hand still gets to shift the front shifter, honk the
Airzound and grab the water bottle...
