It's not rocket science, like I said in earlier post. You can engage it slightly so the expander is providing resistance, adjust to your desired speed and engage it the rest of the way.
Negative, no rubberband.
agree 100%
It's very situational. These are not necessary on day to day city riding. These are very helpful when applied to the right situation, for instance if you are riding say, the same speed with no stop signs or lights for several hours on a road with the same speed limit and you have a condition like carpal tunnel or back/shoulder issues... there is a big difference between "hand cramps" and carpal tunnel.
I question your assertion that you've "done long distance riding". I completed 3 Iron Butt Rallies (97, 99, 01), 9,000+ miles in 11 days each, finishing with 2 golds and a silver. I use a throttlemeister.
Nice! Forget tire replacements... he needed *** replacements after that.
:thumbup:Nothing anywhere near that long. 1500 miles in 4 days.
for me, it would be just to give my wrist/grip a break for a few minutes... don't know I'd want to rely on it as a cruise control either... but for that, I generally clutch in, wriggle my wrists a bit, then get back on it. Granted it's only a few seconds instead of minutes, but that has worked well enough for me and doesn't justify spending any money on one of these things... I also stop every 2 hours or so, give my whole body a break and gas up the bike at the same time.
No problem!
This I can understand. I was talking to one guy the other day while getting coffee at the dunkin donuts and he was like yeah I like to go long distance. So I waited a bit and asked him what his longest ride was. He relied with "oh, a few hundred miles in a day..."
My issue is my neck gives out before anything else. My normal weekend rides are 160 miles or so usually and my legs tend to get a bit sore but im not exactly just sitting on the bike
My Dad and i both have really bad necks and last summer we rode from San Diego to Yosemite via Sequoia. Not one issue with the wrists, butt, knees, etc... But 3 cracked discs and one displaced disc tend to make 350 mile rides seem long. The cramp buster looks like something i would be much more comfortable with. Release the grip and rest the hand but still have control.
damn dude, you'll end up with a rod in your neck if you keep going like that....My issue is my neck gives out before anything else. My normal weekend rides are 160 miles or so usually and my legs tend to get a bit sore but im not exactly just sitting on the bike

I have the Vista Cruise throttle lock as well. I believe the installation information is on the back of the packaging. I've had mine for a while so I don't remember the exact steps. I just took mine off because I didn't have room on my clip-ons. I don't remember installation being hard though.
