Lastly, two more thing, did you fit the shim for the old Tiagra shifters?
Also, fresh new cable and housing, plus Swissstop Blue pads will improved the feel and power that take less effort to modulate.
If you're building up a new bike,there's a Tektro junior road levers paired with bar end shifters mean it'll be much more suitable for smaller hand.

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!
