How to Adjust Brake Levers for Small Hands
Some riders with smaller hands find it uncomfortable or difficult to reach the brake levers effectively.
This can be unsafe and is something that can be adjusted.
First you’ll need to loosen off your brake cable bolt. You don’t need to remove it completely. This will allow you to adjust the brake lever’s reach.
On the lever you should see a screw or bolt on the inside close to the handlebar. This is the reach adjustment screw. As you turn this screw you’ll notice the lever move closer to the handlebar grip.
Turn it just enough so the rider can easily reach the lever - but don’t take it too far in as the lever still needs to be able to move enough to pull the brake.
Now re-adjust and tighten your brake cable.
