Pinkbike Poll: Do You Suffer From Arm Pump When Mountain Biking?
So the answer I'm missing is:
"I solved arm pump by moving the lever more towards the bar, and squeezing the lever with the second phalange instead of using my fingertips".
Like '80s cop movies used to say:
"Don't pull the trigger: squeeeeeze it"

Pinkbike Poll: What Flat Tire Fixes Work For You?
If the tire has a slash, and a single tire plug doesn't fix it, I tend to stitch it with needle and thread, and a patch on the inside

Tech Tuesday - Why Brake Positioning Is More Important Than You Think
Another forgotten aspect is which part of your finger you use for braking. Lots of people use their fingertips, but in my experience this causes massive amounts of armpump. If your levers allow it, and you have to ride long downhills, i would recommend curling at least 2 'phalanges' around the lever, instead of just one. This would require setting your levers pretty close to the bar, and getting used to the feeling, but you will get so much more brake modulation through the finer motor control of those muscles.
