These cam stock on my bike and in time I will upgfrade them but for now I want to adjust the levers so I can each them easier. I have looked at the manual but it doesnt say how to adjust them. Does anyone know how to (or if it is possible) to adjust the brake lever reach.
(So far all I have managed to do is rotate the whole brake on the handlebar).
They look like THIS
Is it worth getting shorter levers e.g. THESE (when they are back in stock)

    If you look along the lever (bar side) towards the main body you will see the adjustment screw, it's probably a hex bolt.

    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    thanks - i had missed it when I looked before. I had been looking for a "proper" screw rather than a hex-type one.
    All sorted now :-)
