|  Better Levers for Small Hands
I am looking for a solution in this area. I have very small hands and both the clutch and brake levers are hard to reach. I can reach them but I think the stretch affects my riding and makes my hands ache. I think I am using more rear brake and less front brake than I should because of the stretch. I believe this contributed to my skidding the other day. It really isn't a strength issue but a reach issue. I came across this in a review of a Savage on the web: "Also, the control levers required a bit too much reach for her hands. I fixed this by adding some slack to the clutch cable and filing down the peg on the front brake lever a bit where it depresses the master cylinder."
