I hadn't realised that others had had similar problems. I feel much better now!
I went out for a ride after I had finished yesterday and it all felt good. I have rotated the handlebars upwards (bar ends pointing downwards) from what is shown in my photo so that the brake levers are higher which makes using the ShockStops more comfortable.
If I simply fitted the brake levers higher on the handlebars I find that my short fingers can't reach the levers comfortably.
