Left, just because that's the way I'm used to it. There are some legitimate reasons for a right-handed person to run it on the right, but I can't be bothered to change it, might as well just stick with what I'm used to. There's a good write-up on this on Sheldon's site though.

I run my front on the right on all my bikes. Been doing it since I got my first racing bike in the '80's. My wrench rode "English", suggested I give it a whirl, and I was quickly hooked. Been setting my bikes up that way ever since.

I always keep the front on the right and back on the left. Last bike I bought I even requested them to switch them, they wouldn't because they said it would make shifting difficult (it had brifters). I switched it when I got it home and haven't had any problems.

I like it being consistent with my motorcycle.

I ride with the front as the left. I think it makes the cabling easier to do, looks a little cleaner when the cable comes down at a less extreme angle.

Like most people said, just run it on whichever side you personally prefer. I went with left, the standard on bicycles. It took some getting used to because I'm so used to riding motorcycles, where the front brake is on the right hand.

Thanks for telling me that I can physically decide on what to do, genius. What, am I on Mars, birdbrain? You know, I bet most people on BF came here to get an opinion instead of reading your useless ******** comments. For a change, why don't you use the time posting dip***** comments trying to get a life you prick.

And thank you everyone else for your opinions. I was originally planning to change it to the right anyhow, but now I most probably will after I give both ways a try. Thanks for the help!

Run the front brake on the right so I can signal with my left. I almost got hit a couple times with the brake on the left. Haven't had a problem since.

R or L, you can't figure this out ? SAD!

Refer to my previous response to d1p**** comments, ******.

On a geared bike: Some times I shift down and use my front brake at the same time, when Ive got to slow down for traffic, or what not. Ever since I started that habbit ive thought it was a sin to put the front brake on the right side.

Left. If I feel like signalling (or doing anything) with my left hand I use my ..............

[drumroll].....

rear brake.

To be honest, I had already used the left side lever on one bike, and decided to try the remaining right hander on my Pista. I was curious about the set up, and it's really not a big deal. Kinda like riding a moto.

I think both setups work just fine.
