Small-handed riders!!! On my current road/tourer, riding with my hands on the top of the hoods is fine, but I don't have sufficient reach to pull the brakes effectively!
I'm doing a big ride up to the arctic circle through Norway in July, and it will involve A LOT of hills, so I want to make sure I can brake with confidence.. I've currently got Tiagra shifter, but they are rather clunky - can anyone recommend anything suitable for smaller hands, and compatible with my current set up (Shimano Tiagra 2 on the front, 10 on the back)?
Thanks for the help, and sorry if this is the wrong thread!
