jimbones, also check out the reach adjustment. If you need to use 2 fingers for modulation it might be because your lever reach is too far. Everyone has personal preferences on reach, but I think you'll find that if you can adjust the lever reach so that the brake locks up when the lever is pulled almost all the way to the grip, you won't need to use 2 fingers.

A hacksaw is a pretty cheap item. If you can't do it yourself, Passion Trail Bikes in Belmont is where I would take it.

If your name is Wade Simmons, you also f-ed up.
But with zero information about your weight and riding style, why don't you ask if the color matches your eyes?

Well I'm going to play the bad guy here; why are you training? Will you be racing at a high level? If not, forget "training", ditch the Carmicheal training system (you don't need to be Lance), and start riding with different goals in mind. If you're riding trails, find a trail system and set up some internal goals there. Climb the hard hill faster, do the loop faster, or more importantly, ...

And embed the last part of it (the bunch of letters and numbers after v=) between the [youtube] tags.

[ youtube ]NgCM46CSwd[ /youtube ]
...minus the spaces, of course.
