I was really concerned about the short clutch lever because my commute used to be stop and go traffic up the FDR.
While I found it far more comfortable to use two fingers only, instead of my whole hand, I still found far less fatigue in my hand with the short lever. It seems to require a lot less force to pull in.
YMMV
You don't 'stop and go' on FDR. You squeeeeeze and go :warranty:
Of course this advise is coming from me, so take it with a grain of salt :comp13:
True, true. You have to start somewhere and I find that it still requires a lot of clutching. I don't just go screaming through like some people I have seen.
It does seem counter-intuitive, but even two fingers on the clutch feels like less effort that than a whole hand on the stock clutch
