Slim Shims for small-handed roadsters
I just got a couple of these on my 105 break levers:
http://tinyurl.com/2hdxl7 I'd recommend them for anyone else with small hands who has trouble breaking while in the drops. They're excellent. -- Bean "I've got a bike You can ride it if you like It's got a basket A bell that rings And things to make it look good I'd give it to you if I could But I borrowed it" Pink Floyd Remove "yourfinger" before replying |

That looks like just what I need. After various brakes in bones, I struggle to reach the breaks on the drops. Are they hard to fit? How much $$? DaveB "deliberately taunting BTH" |

DaveB "deliberately taunting BTH" alternatively, get rid of those 'ergo bars' that are only ergonomic if you have Shrek's hands, and get some shallow drop bars - the levers will be closer. -- ProfTournesol |

DRS Summoning Ritual .... DRS Summoning Ritual ..... BTW - Vainly attempting to stay on the topic of small hands/bar positions, do you think it's absolute travesty against the laws of nature to use flatbar integrated shifters with bullhorns? Finally come to the decision that the existing bar end shifters are nothin' but trouble. In happier news, the midget 41cm frame has come back from the powdercoaters and it's now go fast RED. Happy times are here again. DaveB Wrote: BT Humble wrote: "Taunting Week" has started ALREADY?
