are tektro R200 levers just really uncomfortable?
No. But all contact points a personal preference so ymmv.
I have small hands, so went for the ladies version which are meant to be a little smaller. I think there are some Cane Creek ones which are the same, so you could see if you can get hoods for those.
edit: double check, but proab these: https://www.condorcycles.com/products/cane-creek-scr-5-hoods
Question 2: are tektro R200 levers just really uncomfortable? The outer back corner of the housing it so wide that it jabs me right in the middle of my palm when I'm riding on the hoods. Is there any obvious/easy fix?
