Does anyone have any suggestions/info on what to do about difficulties using shimano brake lever/shifters from the hoods?
Friend is riding a road bike for the first time, and is having difficulties in braking whilst riding on the hoods, been doing a bit of google research but the thing that keeps popping up is putting a shim into the lever to bring it closer to the handlebar.
Does anyone have any other suggestions, levers/shifters that work better with smaller hands, or is it a case of just getting used to it..
