Careful with that 3rd brake thing- it isnt really a break

Key thing to keep in mind with that 3rd brake. After MUCH experimentation it is best to call that a "3rd lever slower downer thing" not a real 3rd brake. There is NO setting on this that will slow the bike down fast- the hardest you can achieve is a gradual slowing.
In my opinion, this product may be dangerous- gives false confidence on ability to slow down, without actually letting the user slow very quickly at all.
