Twin brake cable Lever, with Thumb throttle

[Tauseef]

hi. I came across this lever on aliexpress.com
it says TWIN brake cable lever with THUMB THROTTLE .

has anyone got experience with thumb throttle ?

I don't like a thumb throttle as it feels weird - I don't like a dual lever because if bike falls off kickstand, one lever may break on the side that hits ground, but this should still leave you with one lever to get home with.

I like thumb throttle because it reminds my of my quad. Easier to use to keep idle up when clutch is disengaged and need to brake.

It all depends on what you grew up operating I think.
Most things like jet skis, snow mobiles, and quads use thumb throttles.
I grew with motorcycles, I like a twist ;-}

If the bike has a clutch lever and you have 2 brake levers, a dual pull brake lever is awesome.
I use the Tetter-Todder dual pull lever that SickBikeParts carries.

It's pretty cool, it self adjusts to wear and even different pull lengths, this has a disc and a V-brake on it.

As for the bike falling over and breaking a lever, I don't think you need to worry about that bud ;-}

I'm just a repair shop & I get a LOT of levers snapped off.

If such a thing happens I always carry vise grips

You can fix almost anything with vise grips, a hammer, or duck tape..... And I'm not joking. Seriously I've done it

I never thought of one lever issue that could arise. Since the base assembyis of plastic. It could break ! Somehow two levers definitelt add advantage with this situation
