I don't get how less leverage on your brakes is better. I have to rebuild my front brake master cylinder today...and how I found out was when I squeezed my lever (in towards the bike with 2 fingers) my bike did not stop. I had to shift my fingers to the end of the lever to get my brakes to work.

Not really sure what would have happened if I did not have more lever there.

you would have used your foot, the shock from my most recent off snapped the plastic elbow that delivers fluid from the reservoir to the front master cylinder. didnt even notice till i tried using the front brake the first time riding home and my hand got covered in dot3.
