Hi,

I'm a lefty and ideally the front brake would be on the left. In the
UK I just live with the convention of on the right, but it makes no
sense to change on the left for a lefty because your a lefty.

rgds, sreten.

The front brake is your best brake and should be controlled by
by your best hand, to encourage its use and feel. The USA
has it all wrong, but i can see moreorless how they got there.
