Finding the biting point made since as I commonly start rolling in slow heavy traffic with clutch only.

I love the hand brake technique for its smooth worry free transition, I feel no slip in the clutch this way, and the placement of hand break within the cabin is impeccable. But arriving at the biting point with a foot on the break was not as frightening as I imagined and I found the bite point technique smooth and an intuitive motion.

I don't know what you're trying to prove here. That's not the question..

The question is what are members' preferred method to start-stop on hills?

Not "Whats the best way to start stop on hills"

It's subtle, but very significant that renders your dig useless. Try again, thanks for playing
