Germany-based Magura and SQ Lab are hoping to get you fit better on your braking system thanks to a new ergonomics checklist the two brands announced last week. Based on a variety of metrics, you can fine-tune your brake lever setup, grip spec, and more. The metrics are very easy, such as the graph illustrated above, stating that size small hands need 2 cm of brake lever extension, medium hands need 3 cm, and large hands 4 cm. There are even metrics for handlebar height and brake lever angles.
If you’re interested in pain-free riding, this one is an interesting read. Do so at Magura.
