| Re: small hands Is it the reach she's struggling with due to her arms being short or the actual span between the handle and the lever Deano? If it's the former maybe some alternative handlebars might be in order? If it's the latter, I'm not sure mate. The thing is they'll have to have that amount of travel to operate properly. |

If at first you don't succeed buy a snipers rifle, hire a clown suit and climb a clock tower

 I guess if the brake and clutch are cable operated you could put a little wedge in the levers and adjust the cables so they operate within the normal tolerances, but if they're hydraulic, (as I suspect), that one could be a bit of a problem. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I'm sure someone will come up with something for you | |

| Re: small hands It won't be cheap, but I would maybe replace the lever mounts with ones from a bike that pazzo's are available for. The only problem is you will have to find something with a brake master cylinder relevant to the power needed for your bike. Then you would have to spend £130 on top for the levers. Maybe something from a motorcross bike, assuming the lever pivot isn't part of the switch assembly. Best thing to do is taka a walk around a breakers and see if you can spot something suitable. |

Just a little metal wedge put in between the lever and the housing held there with a welding tac to pull the levers towards the handle bars and make the reach less of a stretch for her. There should be more than enough tolerance in the cables at both ends to adjust them up so they work properly | |
