I know we have a few cyclists here, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
I have a Specialized Allez road bike with Shimano Sora brake/gear levers from 2010. They are the kind which have the little thumb switch for changing gear in one direction, and the brake lever changes the gear in the other direction.
From the hoods, I can access both fine.
However, from the drops, I can reach the brake lever well enough to brake, but it seems my hand isn't long enough to push the brake lever to one side to change gear. I can just about reach the thumb switch from the drops, but its the brake lever that is the main problem.
Did there ought to be any way of improving this, or are there any levers which would be better?
I already have some shims in to reduce the reach of the brake lever.
Thanks
